The Grove Tribe is one of the newest nations on the server, and it lies in the Mesa in the eastern part of the map. It is populated by a people who call themselves Hrãggistt, but due to their main settlement being hidden away in a distinctive grove on the mesa, they are mostly referred to as the Grove Tribe. The tribe is friendly to outsiders, but holds its spiritual practices in high regard and demands visitors take care not to anger the nature when in the tribal nation.
Territory
The main settlement of the Grove Tribe is located around 1190 -250, consisting of a couple of primitive earthly huts and a simplistic farm. It's mostly hidden from sight by a thick circular grove, allegedly raised as a spiritual and practical defence by the tribe's magic.
The borders of the Grove Tribe's territories are marked by so-called Smoking Totems, which serve both to greet and warn visitors as well as fulfilling a religious purpose of some sort.
Culture
The Grove Tribe is a seemingly primitive people, with little to show in regards to architectural achievements or technology. It is known they are deeply religious, with most of their religion being concerned with different elemental spirits. They take care not to anger any forces of nature and always seek to take the course of action that would appease their deities. The folk seems to have a particular affinity for spirits of the Earth, who are regarded as ancestors and protectors of the tribe. The leadership of the tribe seems to be mostly in the hands of the religious figure called the Shaman or Earthseer.
It is also known that the Tribe has little love for corrupted spirits and creatures such as those of the Nether and the End, and seeks to purge them from their land. However, they are usually very patient and welcoming with outsiders, although they can be very insistent on matters when they believe a course of action would upset the spirits of the region.
Language
Very little is known of the tribe's own language except that they have one, as they seem to be fluent in Overworld Common and prefer to use it with outsiders. However, a few words of their language have been recorded by members of the other peoples:
hyeče! /çét͡ʃe/ - hello!
aŧra! /ɑ́θrɑ/ - goodbye!
hrãggistt /hrɑ̃gːístː/ - "earth-walkers", the name of their people (supposedly literally "we who (we) walk through/in the earth")
hratú't /hrɑtúːʔt/ - "earth-seer", the tribe's spiritual leader (supposedly literally "he who knows the earth")
