Mtuwê (culture)
The Mtuwê have lived in the southern jungles of Rojihlat Mara for untold ages. They live in wooden villages propped up by stilts, often shaped to look like branches of the tree itself. The Mtuwê have a close affinity with the mangrove forests they have long called home, preferring to grow their own food so as to not upset the balance of life in the forest. The hanging orchards of the Mtuwê have led many to mistake the mangroves of Rojihlat Mara for other kinds of trees, as the tree's branches are heavily laden with various kinds of fruit.
The Mtuwê only hunt as a means of self-preservation, when the population of the native fauna grows large enough to pose a threat to their villages, or in cases of self-defense — a common occurrence to those who live in the region. They believe this responsibility falls to them alone however, and fiercely prevent any outsiders from hunting the creatures of the forest.
