The region know as the Groove & Desert is a vast realm of ecologically diverse land the like of which known no where else in the world. It gathers it's name from the rich expansives of rain forest, jungles and huge fruit tree grooves that dote the vast area of desert that make up the fifth largest continent on earth.
This continent is peopled by many different and diverse cultures that all seem to share a deep spiritual connection not only with the land they live in but a common desire to go to the stars. The lends the people of this vast continent to display a wide variety of housing models. In some of the large jungles, it is possible to find vast communities in the tops of the gaint trees with highly developed technology, to some of rain forest to which the people have developed stunning subterran housing that border the rich underground water sources which feed the rain forest of the area. In the Desert areas we see a most nomadic culture that would lend an observer to think of them as un-educated and not familiar with technology as some other peoples of this continent, but that is simply not the case. These Nomad cultures have some highest literacy rates anywhere in the world, and their culture is highly technology developed, but due to they spiritual natures they prefer to do without the bigger pieces of technology which go agaist their spiritual and nomadic traditions. In their winter camps in the rich grass lands, one can find all the newest technological pieces if one looks closely. These winter camps are permant residences for those who can no travel, the elderly and some pregant women. These camps provide a spiritual center and a commual one as while for the varies groups that use them.
On the southern coast of this continent, there lies a short mountainous range called by the locals 'the bones of the mother'. Within this mountainous region lies the communtiy of Dar-Es-Salaam, the leading communtiy of the continent both in the spiritual , economical , and political realms. It is through this influence that the community of Dar-Es-Salaam houses the Grand-Temple; an ancient site built of huge blocks of transpant crystals and rose limestone which is the site of the Cult of the Mother. This cult is one seen one aspect or another through of the continent, it is once focused on the earth as the all giving mother and provider. The Temple focuses on Healing and Teaching, it is most of the continents teachers and medical staff are turned out from. The Temple is a neutral organize in the political realm, and has gone to great lengths to keeps it's independence from any of the governments that have arised on the continent, which as in itself from the Temple in to conflicts with power hungry Rulers from time to time. In Dar-Es-Salaam one also finds the Citadel, which is the site of the ruling Council of Dar-Es-Salaam. Not much is know about the Council origins or how it is gather every three months. It is known that this body makes the Laws for Dar-Es-Salaam, and these laws set the trend for the rest of the countries on the continent.
