[Colony I/t] Zain's Sactuary (u/c)

[Zakiax]

(Title of this colony is subject to change. If you have any suggestions let me know. Also need to fix several things now with new plots alight. )

Story:

After their son Kalani was cub-napped and was no longer to be found, even after looking high and low and onto the brink of exhaustion the char family decided that it wasn’t safe to stay around Clan Bayeux, Ajax was nowhere to be found and it seemed to clan was close to collapse. To save what family they have left (and those who wish to follow) the Two Rose knights and the Story teller decided to find a new home, a new place in which they can feel safe from danger. After hearing about the dark tribe from Knight, they will head that way to speak with their leader, in hopes of finding a sanctuary there.

Rules:
Murder of another is not allowed, as life is celebrated, anyone committing murder within the clan will be exiled from it.

Stealing from another member is not allowed, we are all family here.

Trades within the clan must be of equal value based on the values of those who are trading. (Ex. Say someone values information over goods).

One shall respect those who hold power, if one is abusing the power they have then the leader can revoke it. This is suppose to be a safe haven for those who seek it.

Everyone is to work together so that everyone can live a happy life (To their extent).

Everyone is welcome as long as they promise to uphold the rules. (Maybe a bit uncomfortable for Fire tribe members)

Location
(after talking to the dark tribe magus)
The small forest south of the dark tribe.

Culture:

Rules and stories passed down verbally throughout the clan. The only written language is through pictures.

Pictures will be carved into trees to tell stories that are to be remembered, these stories can be read by anyone to remember the points behind them. (Stories that will be carved into trees must be accepted as a majority as a clan).

Everyone is to work together as a whole to life out a full life.

Cubs will be raised by their parents unless the parents need someone to watch them while on their duty then other members of the clan will step forward to watch the cubs.

Rulers:

Zain (Head of the Clan): Bases everything solely on safety of everyone’s well-being. He and Katrina have the final say in anything (Sees the members of his clan as his extended family). A bit stern and seemingly hard to approach at first. The lost of his son did come to a big shock to him as it well as the rest of his family.

Katrina (High Priestess): Calming factor of the family, eases minds with her gentle and soft spoken words and great wisdom. Often uses stories to help ease the minds of others and teach lessons. Will prepare and lead most festivals. (She will often go on trips in search of information to try to locate her lost son. She will never give up hope that he is still alive and well somewhere)

Council Members: (Report to Zain and Katrina)

Zeke (Head of the Knights): Follows Zain in his footsteps and protects the clan with everything he has.

(Heads of other Classes)

Social Structure:

Knights: Protectors of the clan, often scout the clan’s territory to ease the mind of the clans members as well as search for potential threats. If a threat is noticed they will eliminate it.

Enforcers: Make sure the members of the clan are following the rules if not they are to enforce them. Will be a guiding hand to settle disputes between members. Basically a safety measure with in the clan.

Healers: Use the land to find and create medicines to help the sick and the wounded of the clan. Often work with the Gatherers to find new herbs to create medicines with. (Apprentice Healers will do this work to get a feel for different herbs)

Farmers/Gatherers/Hunters: These provide food for the clan, through growing, gathering or hunting. (Works closly with both Entertainers and Merchants and Crafters.)

Entertainers: Those who create forms or art whether it’s in song and dance or as physical art work. These balam are there to help create all sad things into happy things, often works closely with the high priestess. Many will create new stories to tell to the clan.

Merchants And Crafters: These are those who craft items to sell them either to those within the clan or to those outside the clan. Trades can often be made to acquire materials the clan doesn’t necessarily have access to. All traveling merchants will have knights as escorts no questions asked.

Carvers: These are those who work to carve picture stories into the bark of the trees, works closely with the Entertainers.

Citizens: Those who don’t feel like they fit within another class go here. These are often cubs until they find a place for them either within the clan or not.

Beliefs and Traditions:

The grand weaver: Milintica is the creator of all things, that is certain and all life should be celebrated and respected.

Life and Death: Both are a part of the cycle. Life and death are both celebrated in this clan, as each life has touched another in some way or another. Those memories should last as death is not the last journey as the b’alam’s soul has returned to Milintica.

Genders: There is no gender difference with in the roles of this clan. Each has their own job within the clan so it can prosper, so that life can keep on going.

Festivals:

Light of the Remembered: A festival to celebrate life and to remember those who have been lost or have died over the years. Life is to be celebrated, and to be remembered not to be forgotten. These lives can even be cubs that have left the clan and their families to explore other possibilities. (Happens around the winter solstice) (To be added to this festival after Katrina Visits the Dark Tribe : Memorials will be made for each b’alam that has been lost to the clan, dead or not.)

The Blessing: A ceremony that will happen once per year, this is where cubs or adults will present themselves to Zain as well as the head of the class they wish to join. They will receive the blessing of the High Priestess. (Summer Solstice)

The two below will come after the clan has established firm grounds.

Telling of the Stories: This will happen twice a year. This festival is where everyone gets together to listen to the stories that the Entertainers have created (Stories can be told in plays if so desired). It is at this festival that the clan as a whole will decide which of these stories then will be turned into wood carvings.

Running of the Trees: Happens near the end of fall. It’s a friendly obstacle run through the trees of the clan. Often it will be made into a friendly competition between the members. It’s a run to welcome the coming of winter.

Sign up

Form here shortly  

[Zakiax]

I will be starting a rp shortly where the family frantically searches for Kalani to no avail.

Please let me know if you want to be a part of this rp or now.

Those with still cubs will be forced to join this clan until they are grown then they can go off and do as they please, So each will be listed as members until you let me know exactly you want to do with the cubs since things are changing from the original plans.

Also since they are still cubs they can still help, but Zeke will be keeping a close eye over them for the most part while their parents and possible older brothers help.

I know you said that yours would probally be out and about by this time, but still quoting you encase he is around to help with the search

Kamileunaire

I don't remember much on what you wanted to do with your older son if he was to stick around or not, but here's just a heads up that this will be happening shortly.

 

[Zakiax]

I just wanted to let you guys know that things are going to change a bit with my plans for the charizard family.


After the children are grown to adults they will be leaving the place they are at and will be heading to the dark tribe. Weather or not they come along is up to you, but these three will be moving there after some plotting and rps with several of Sniper's characters. Thus most of this colony will be void as i re create it to match the new situation they will be in.
