=='''<big>Dufiro Bands and Associations</big>'''==
In a race comprised of so many diverse elements and with such a preponderance of trade, barter,, binding agreements both willing and unwilling, and with so many ruling bodies among each distinct race its understandable that groups and individuals would assemble for mutual benefits.  Patronage is an extremely common practice among the Dufiro.  Advancement being so tied to merit and experience groups band together for many reasons.  It would be impossible to list the number of such associations for such a large population.  Rituals and abilities are shared, traded, stolen, and created in these groups with the higher ups usually understanding that the advancement of even the lowest of their members brings prestige, power and opportunity to all.
