Matunga Culture

The Matunga Culture was a Post-Collapse human and orc hunter-gatherer society that lived in Takoara, south of the Rapiki Mountains.

Art
Matunga art featured elaborate pottery vessels and carved wooden weapons and canoes. The Matunga also tattooed themselves to show status.

Matunga rituals also featured a number of traditional dances, often accompanied by song or, more frequently, chanting.

Dress
Matunga dress consisted largely of robes, skirts and kilts made of local plants and animal hides. High-ranking Matunga also wore large headdresses made of feathers.

Language
The Matunga spoke the Matunga Language, which consisted of many dialects.

Naming Conventions
Most Matunga people had a single given name, possibly differentiated using a father's or mother's name. When travelling, they would be differentiated by their tribe and clan.

Religion
The Matunga Culture worshiped the Old Spirits, as well as a pantheon of deities, including:
 * Nerango, the god of the sky
 * Ukune, goddess of the earth
 * Warata, god of the sea

Society
The Matunga people were organised into a number of clans, further subdivided into tribes and villages. Tribes were often composed of villages connected by blood. Traditionally Matunga society was divided into nobility, mostly composed of orcs, commoners and slaves (more often than not humans). Matunga society was fairly egalitarian when it came to gender, with an equal mix of male and female chieftains.

War
The Matunga regularly warred among each other, and frequently invaded the Tewoke people to the south, and sometimes clashed with the Wajien and Pinong people to the north.

Technology
The Matunga Culture used stone tools and made many pottery artifacts. They were expert fishermen and used canoes to aid in their fishing.

Weapons
The Matunga primarily used spears and clubs, usually made of wood.
