Mastroka

The Mastroka tribe occupies villages made of adobe and stone houses in the region surrounding the Sweetwater and Dirty Dog Rivers in northern Delcova Territory. Hundreds of these villages once spread across the region's mesas and canyons, but now all but 30 or so have been abandoned due to disease and warfare.
Primarily farmers, some Mastroka hunt deer and antelope in the mountains, and some hunt totenk on the plains. All Mastroka hold rabbit hunts and gather wild plants.
Each family has several rooms in the communal building. The principal unit of Mastroka society is a clan, which is as important as the family. Clan kinship is based on a totemic animal and passed on through the mother. Marriage within a clan is forbidden - a man always belongs to a different clan than his wife and children.
Religion is a communal affair that ensures the order of the universe. Each clan has a secret society responsible for specific ceremoies; rituals ensure tribal welfare. The society heads govern the village.
Nearly all Mastroka share the certain cult rituals, centered around ancestral spirits that bring rain and fertility. During festivals, the priests become the spirits by donning masks.
