neutral  Chris Rowson (X): It needs more. The idea is of groups (Latin: tribes) fighting amongst themselves. A powerful concept, the Romans applied it barbarian tribes, and in modern Eng. and the context it still has this sense. But I can´t find a way to express it in German.

"mörderisch-vernichtende Intrigen"


Explanation:
Noch eine Möglichkeit...
