Their small, dispersed settlements are each controlled by a local priest, which each report back to the Kazigh, the chief horse shaman who rules from a temple in the center of Lindana. There he is attended by a select group of individuals, ones who spend their life in servitude to the shaman and will die there as well when they turn 30.
Each year, new servants are sent from each town during a magical selection process where all the eligible teenagers will arrange in a ring with outstretched hand full of grass. Then, a blindfolded horse will walk and eat from one of the kids, thereby choosing the next person to be sent.
The Shaman declares the next shaman when he has been deemed unable to survive a week longer, at which point they are immediately appointed and the old shaman is killed

History

The Ta Minn live on the prairie, a grassy steppe with occasional hills and rivers. They arrived from the West, and speak Ashakri, as do many of the other Western states. The Ta Minn once aggressively expanded, but have since run into other civilizations and have paused due to heavy aggression from their neighbors.
