Metahel

The Metahel were a group of people who lived along the lower banks of the Pasocada River in Maztica. They were one of the seven major tribes of Mazticans.

Society
The Metahel tribes lived on the Pasocada below Raven Falls and along the coast where the river reached the ocean. They were extremely skilled at fishing and whaling.

Early in their history, they constructed buildings of logs, but later they used mud and stone. Their largest settlement was Lomaraj, near the border of Azuposi territory.

Language
The Metahel language was noticeably distinct from that of other tribes in the region.

Trade
The Metahel traded their dried fish, whale oil, and shells to the Azuposi in exchange for their turquoise and grain.

History
The Metahel moved to their current region a number of centuries ago. They had previously lived further northwest. At some point after migrating, they were at war with the Azuposi, but afterward a state of trade existed and the Azuposi influenced Metahel architecture, especially in Lomaraj.
