Social Segments / Status Ladders

Shamans are initially a close-knit group of Sabian Shamans living in a small trading town in the Valley of the Djinn in the endless Rub Al-Khali desert. They differ among themselves based on personality, social class and racial profile. The biggest and substantial difference is in their tribal affiliations and they are known by the name of their clan.

With time the Sabian shamans reach out and connect with other Sabians from other geographical, cultural and religious backgrounds so Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Nordic and other varieties become part of the various stories.

Different groups/denominations of Buddhists, some Native American traditions, Tibetan Shamans, White Witches and Scientists and Rebels ascribe to the Sabean doctrine of "Oneness" and there is a transition from these faiths to increasingly convert to the broader and more inclusive Sabian clans. The order of ranking of these other groups is in the order they are mentioned above except the Scientists. A scientist and rebel that is also a Sabian shaman has a higher status than the others except Buddhists.
