Most Galei come togather in clans, usually led by an elder. In cases of military action, a council is formed and the eldest male and female in each family come to vote on a general. He/she wears there family's armour. Usually very old, their armour shows their pride in their family. Every set of armour is identified by how many times worn by the cuff links on their left arm. The more links the more honour each family commands.
