Editing Al-Sherar (section)

====Vassals and allies====
Al-Sherar's Knight Households were based on ''Iteru''.  The thrall-knight [[Order of Bahri]] is the largest and best-known, but they shared Iteru with the dashing "Mahars" of the Maryannu Brotherhood.

The pact between the Kabeer Al-Mufteen and the Primarch of the Fifth Legion was founded shortly before Al-Sherar achieved Compliance with the Imperial Truth.  [[Gaspard Lumey]]'s TechMarines almost all owed their training to Al-Sherar and many of his warriors recognised the Alim as their brothers in battle.

Similarly, Al-Sherar could often turn to [[Ciban IV]] and her colonies for supporting regiments of [[Ciban Chasseurs]].  Although not as capable in battle as the elite warriors of the Mechanicum, the Chasseurs were disciplined, flexible soldiers who could put a "human face" on Al-Sherar's campaigns.

Nearby [[Ghalhal]] pursued a cautious policy, attempting to tack between Al-Sherar and Mars with her independence intact.  Nevertheless, Ghalhal's Titans - the Ordo Cataegis - and her allies in [[the Markian Corps]] could often be found alongside the warriors of the Alim.  During the [[Hektor Heresy]], the Markians and Cataegis would play a key role in defending the Al-Sherar Sector, though no sentimental honours were laid at their feet by the Kabeer Al-Mufteen.
