'thul's story project...

[fool-ish]

Inbreeding is carefully managed, as the nomad tribes operate with oral history, so they must have excellent memories. Further writing will reveal whether relationships in the tribes are based on monogamy or not, but inbred will not be a common trait. Of course, a possible result of inbreeding in a high-evolutionary world like this one could be new sub-species instead of just a heap of bad traits popping up. But since 'thul know that books do influence readers somewhat, it would not be right to encourage inbreeding.

The tribes have a simple, yet harsh, way of dealing with those that do not follow tribal customs.
Banishment.
It is effectively a death sentence, both in how dangerous it is to move out in the wilds alone and in the loss of a close-knit community. It not only saves the work of dealing with corpses of the lawbreakers, but is often far worse than mere execution, making sure that rules are followed by more out of fear of banishment.

If the threads are thin enough and are perfectly rounded, then it should not be itchy. however, it is not unusual for Metalweave to be lined with regular cloth on the inside.

There's a relief! Promiscuity I can cope with, inbreeding, not so much. Offenders be banished!

Yup, I thought of a lining afterwards, but it was too late and I was too knackered to edit.
