Stonehoof Tribe

A tribe consisting entirely of earth ponies, the Stonehooves are a fierce nomadic warband. They make enemies of all, and none are safe. They roam the lands near Equestria.

Culture
A warrior based culture, the Hooves admire strength above all else. There are no artists or musicians. However, they do get creative with weapon designs.

The Hooves have little use for gods, and so few are spiritual. However, some warriors pray to the battle-spirits for boons in combat.

Language
The Hoooves speak Equentish, but are host to speakers of older variations of Equentish including Enteese and Equa.

Economy
Communal, hunter-gatherer based. Those who show great martial prowess are often given gifts by tribe mares. As such, the 'richest' stallions are those with the most gifts and the most wives. They rarely trade with other tribes, opting to take what they want by force.

Foreign Policy
As a roaming warband, the Stonehooves have a simple policy of attack first and ask questions later.

Government
The strongest and most battle scarred stallion is referred to as the Tribe Khan. He can be challenged to one on one combat by any contenders. This Khan is responsible for deciding where the clan goes, and who it attacks. The curret Khan is Hmal of the Plains.

Technology
All technology the Stonhooves obtain is through combat. As such, they wield a variety of weapons from different tribes.
