The 3rd sentence: "They distinguished themselves from other clans by painting themselves in red ochre and wearing bronze brigandine armour, their hair spiked and bristling with porcupine quills."
This info is found in the 1st couple of paragraphs of DoD, Chapter 12. Based on that passage, my impression is that the attributes in the sentence above apply to Maral Eb (clan chief), but, unless it's stated elsewhere, there's no reason to think that they apply to all Barahn. Since I don't know if there's another reference, I didn't change it. Then again, I didn't add the ref either
Also, re. red ochre: At the beginning of Ch 12. it says that Maral Eb had slashes of red ochre paint on his white face paint. Again, there's no mention of the other clan members, tho elsewhere, another clan is described as having streaks of blue on the white face-- it's possible the red ocher is used thruout the clan.

- If you have those references at hand, Aimzzz, I think you ought to change the article to reflect those. It can always be changed back should anyone come across something to say it affected the whole clan. Better the possibility of missing info than inaccurate info.
