== Government ==
As a tribe, the Earthwalkers rely on customs and traditions, especially religious ones, to guide their everyday behaviour and judgement. This is in contrast to many more "civilised" societies on the server, which instead have codexed written laws and organised court systems. In the Grove Tribe, however, when anyone - be it outsider or tribesman - is believed to have gone against the community's ways, the whole tribe assembles to discuss the verdict, with more respected and knowledgeable members using their wisdom, good judgement and knowledge of precedent to ultimately decide the wrongdoer's fate. The maintenance of harmony is priority, and if the individual is unwilling to take responsibility for the crime themselves, they will usually be exiled rather than forced to conform to a society they don't wish to belong to.
Grove Tribe has several positions of authority, but none are inherently more important or powerful than anyone else; some people are merely considered to be more qualified for certain tasks than others, but that does not mean they have power over the Tribe, for all Tribesfolk are seen as inherently equal. Currently, the Earthseer (whose inherent purview is communication with the spirits and lorekeeping) represents the tribe for the outside world, as they are the most active member; however, for example, in the matter of building, the Earthseer would usually agree with whatever the Druid says, for the Druid is considered the authority on building; and the Druid would seek consensus with the community instead of forcing his will, which the community grants, since they understand the Druid is more knowledgeable than them in this particular matter.
== History ==
Line 48 ⟶ 44:
At some point, the nation of New Mesa fell and was replaced by a state ruled by [[MiksaSerbia]], who became a close ally of the tribe. When Miksa's city was attacked and sacked by [[Keetsu]], the Grove Tribe rallied to his side and participated in the events that led to the [[Progerian Massacre]]. As Miksa became disillusioned and left Grand Mesa in the aftermath of the event, the Tribe inherited his northern lands, finally gaining sea access to the south and founding [[Carrot Village]] as their port. As [[Yugoslavia (The Kingdom Of)|Yugoslavia]], who inherited the southern part, eventually collapsed, Grand Mesa came into the hands of Goomlandia. In reparation for a building dispute, the land was then offered to the tribe, who thus came in possession of [[Grand Mesa]] as well as the lands south of it, where they founded the small village of [[Amber Island]].
The later history of the Grove Tribe from 2020 onwards is inherently tied with that of the [[Grove Faith]].

Line 53 ⟶ 51:
Not much is known about the Grove Tribe's language, Earthspeech, as they prefer to use Overworld Common, which they seem to be fluent at. Some words, place names and phrases are known, though.
