The Arteshcro

     The Nacimera have a fascinating spiritual ritual where they will attempt to make rhythmic noise of different pitch in large groups for audiences. This cultural practice involves many tribe members to be seated in rows facing the center, where the chief of their Arteshcro stands. Each tribe member is equipped with a noise making vessels built from the flesh of plants and the stomach of an animal in one hand. In the other hand they hold a stick with horse hair fastened onto it smeared with some form of dried plant residue which is used to produce sound from the vessel. These tribe members will reference ancient scripts written onto thin tablets made out of plants and will also watch the chief. The chief does not have a sound making vessel of their own, and will instead use their arms, flailing them around in some form of leading a prayer for the rest of the Arteshcro. As they lead the Arteshcro the tribes members will make noise in accordance with it. Once they finish the ceremony, it is a common practice for other tribe members viewing the ceremony to mock the Arteschro. The tribes members viewing the ceremony will attempt to create more noise than the Arteshcro with just their hands. In return the Arteshcro's chief will lower their head and instruct the Arteshcro to stand up, then take their leave. It is unclear as to why this ritual is performed but it seems that during these ceremonies Arteshcro will use different attire. Some opting for a long piece of fabric whilst others wrap themselves in multiple layers and tie a piece of fabric around their necks.
