Start making your way to where the Collective of Plenty tribesmen live. You can use the Reputation System icon for tracking. A cutscene will play when you reach a certain area.
Along the way, you'll meet up with Varesa. She will lead you to the tribe while introducing Atocpan. Once you've reached the tribe, Act 1 of the Tribal Chronicles is completed.

Both of the NPCs can lead you to the volcano. The closest one to the tribe will ask you to fight some monsters before telling you the way. The other one will ask you to break the rocks blocking the ruins.
