 In the many scattered, often nomadic tribes of southern Pthora's Johtalit, a shaman, an indigenous Seherite, acts as a community leader. They are often just as influential as the tribal chief. The shaman does not necessarily trace their roots back to a high place within the tribe.

At’enites have cordial relationships with Vormaxian Libraries and Research Centers, and sometimes work in tandem with them to more easily see and find signs.
