Hiva Tribe

North of the Tableland there is a large vertical drop, like an artificial wall, full of waterfalls and fossils, which goes from east to west. It is the Old Wall, a spectacular formation done by ancient Destruction events. The Naacal Tribe has been using this geographic feature as a natural defense for centuries, which prevents northern invasions by Elven tribes and Half-orcish clans. North of the Old Wall, it's hard to find Naacal people. However, you will still find humans. Even though they are descendants from Aztlani people (like the Naacal), the Hiva live between Elves and Orcs, rejecting civilization and all of its "corruptive forces." Thus, they are born survivors, but they move poorly in civilized environments.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

Hiva have a rich and lyrical language, but it has no written form at all. Some Naacal scholars had tried to write down some of their myth sagas and poems but they refuse to see the soul of their words trapped in paper. More information on languages can be found here

Shared customary codes and values

THOU SHALT NOT ACCEPT THE WRITTEN WORD The Hiva Tribe hates writing: they see it as a weak practice and too similar to witchcraft. For them, oral culture is the only way of transmission that carries truth within it and it is oral word the only form of expression that reflects the power of the Great Spirit. Tribal Tradition rules: Hiva characters will never learn to write or read any language, no matter if it is during their creation phase or later. If they try to do so, they can become Tainted.
