Hm, they could ally with these guys---in theory---if only for the fact that their society isn't nearly as heretical as that of the Uraka Federation's. I know I've been granted permission to interact with them however I please but, hypothetically, what would you say would happen between both groups should the azu come around to looking favorably upon these tribes? Realistically, would such an alliance hold, and what would the Uraka Federation have to say about it? I may have a first post in mind depending on your answer.

Well, these tribes are independent of each other. Some may be power hungry, others may just want to live in peace with what they have. Some may not be religious at all, some may be strict followers of the Old Way (though not being Uraka). And some may be subservient to threats, and some may be prideful and stand their ground. Their commonality is in their oral law and their oral history taught in stories, that's about it. If some tribes decided it would be a good idea to collaborate with an Azu family, they would want something out of it, but it is certainly a possibility if the Azu approached them.

The Uraka, upon finding out that some khari tribes were allying with the Azu savages, would not likely be worried unless it swelled their ranks to the point of becoming a serious threat. They regret warring with their own kind as much as culturally common humans would other culturally common humans, but they understand that not all kharis decide to follow the federation. They're not "mine god is a jealous god" kind of people.
