          "Genert embodied some powers of unity and harmony that have
          never been recovered"

It's my opinion that the Desert Trackers try to locate the
missing parts of Genert by reading Hyena skins and are under
some compulsion to do so (probably because they can feel the
missing powers through the Hyena skin).

>(Since the zebra tribe seems to have a connection to Issaries)

Kost, the only named Desert Tracker, is not a Zebra rider.

I really don't think Issaries is as prominent in the Zebra
Tribe as Drastic: Prax suggests. Joraz Kyreem's connection
with Issaries was a personal one and one largely redundant
on the plaines of Prax.

I see the Zebra Riders as being the Pavisite sonofabitches
to defend them against the Animal Nomads. In the Pavis
and Big Rubble book, they are largely portrayed as bandits.
