Tribal Symbol  This can be placed anywhere on the body and can be any color with the design still on the symbol but not so elaborate. It can also be on any type of jewelry.Special (these are specially crafted and much more durable then a simple piece of jewelry and look cooler!) Necklace~ Just a simple silver necklace with leather strap to hold it on. Item it's self just like the pick only maybe have the knot dangle loosely in between the symbol with silver chain, with the same design still inscribed on the symbol only not as heavy. (The knot in the middle can be any color)
Note: Since this is jewelry, it will not contain the bottom curve piece.Bracelet~ This is actually 3 parts... Symbol, Knot, Bracer. The symbol and knot is done in silver with the same design still inscribed on the symbol. It is then attached to a leather bracer with the knot placed in the middle of the symbol like the tattoo. Note: Since this is jewelry, it will not contain the bottom curve piece. Belt~ This is make in much the same way as the bracelet. Made with durable leather to last long, the belt is 3 parts... like the bracer it contains the Symbol, Knot, and Leather belt strap. The symbol and knot is done in silver with the same design still inscribed on the symbol. It is then attacked to the leather belt with the knot placed in the middle of the symbol like the tattoo.

About the Tribe Ben vidos irmáns: Welcome Brothers
The Caledonia Tribe is highly spiritual, and deeply connected to their Deity, only referred to as ‘The Maker’. All foxes are taught to view the world in three distinct and separate levels: the physical, the spiritual, and the symbolic. All intertwined and fundamental, it is through these levels that one can truly understand existence and it’s cyclic nature. Everything is inner connected, nothing is separate.
In the tribe families are not of the conventional sense. There is not just parent and kit. A kit growing up in the tribe will have many mothers and fathers as the entire tribe is a one giant tight knit family. There are times where one kit will be raised by four or five different adults, maybe not even by their biological parent. Everyone member is deeply connected to one another, not just spiritually but mentally and physically. Having gone through basic training (history, light combat training, defensive tactics) together a bond of brotherhood forms that is impenetrable.
Most, though not all, members join one of the Orders as a kit. It is harder but not impossible for an adult to enter into an Order. As kits, they are schooled on the teachings of the specific order. Class begins at dawn and does not finish until dusk. Kits are expected to behave and listen to their instructor without complaint or a discipline with be issued. Though of course the instructors realize they are only children and allot time for play and relaxation. The time for play lessens over time however, as the kit matures.
Each fox, upon reaching the age of adulthood, goes through an event called ‘The Trials’. This is their final test before officially becoming a member of an Order. They must face off against the head of The Order in whatever kind of test that fox dictates, and it does vary occasionally.
BCRs are never accepted into an order, they are to be at home with their parents until they become kits.
Any adult that wants to join an Order will be tested by the Head, and then it is left up for them to decide. Though any fox can appeal to the Seer if they are turned down.

History Seeking refuge from persecution and injustice, Vortigern took his mate and small son Altair and came upon some old ruins. When he did for some reason that place seemed to be sacred to him. He couldn't explain it at first. This intense wave of security washed over him, shielding him from his self-doubt. Setting his young mate and son up in the long ago abandoned ruins, he turned to go into the forest and hunt for them. That is where he first came in contact with The Maker. The Maker had seen a great leader in him... a leader that could protect these lads from invaders... He explained that he had called to him, drawn him toward the ruin where he could finally raise his son in peace.
The Maker told Vortigern he would grant him and his people protection and refuge from the dangers of the wilderness and his enemies if they promised to worship him and dedicate there lives to learning the knowledge he had to offer them. Vortigern passed this information on to his family. His mate was skeptic but she agreed to the terms in the end. She believed in her mate, and soon she discovered the gifts The Maker offered were genuine.
Structured upon a hill, and surrounded by forestry on all sides his family greatly prospered. Beginning as a limited tribe, the opportunity to restart motivated Vortigern to venture out and seek more foxes that needed safeguarding.
The Maker gave Vortigern all the knowledge needed to bring the tribe back to life once again becoming the first Seer.
With Vortigern as tribe leader, thereafter named Seer, regulations were set forth for all tribe members. 1: Even though being a self made tribe, they would never turn away a stranger in peril. Everyone was welcome as long as they posed no threat to the tribe or their way of life. 2: All foxes must offer up at least one of their children to one of the Orders for the good of the tribe. And 3: All foxes will pledge their life and love to ‘The Maker’ and no one else.
When Vortigern died from an illness, his son Altair took over as the next Seer of the clan. Much like his father, a fair and just leader, the first true new members joined the clan. Having accidentally stumbling upon a young kit in the forest, he took the boy in as his own son. Drake was a spirited youth, and often ran off into the Azul Forest, which led them to find the beautiful Farah and her adopted son Flynn. Soon after meeting, Altair discovered that the two required shelter and offered them the safety of his tribe until they found their feet. However after staying for several months, Farah and Flynn no longer wanted to be anywhere else.

Religion The religions of the Caledonia Tribe understood that there is a direct continuity between the physical world and the otherworld, spiritual world. Caledonia teachings, which have come down from ‘The Maker, himself, recognized that there is an unseen world that interpenetrates and affects the visible world. Things are just not what they seem. Everything exists on several simultaneous levels. Modifoxes can understand things as having three levels: the physical, the spiritual, and the symbolic. Thus, the Caledonian culture is integrated with nature, and expressed itself through the multiple possibilities of life itself.
‘The Maker’ is the creator of all life on earth, both mother and father to modifoxes. He is benevolent and generous to all his children, and have bestowed the gift of his ‘word’ to the Caledonians.
As such this is easy for any fox to remember if they remember this primary guideline:"Nothing is true, everything is permitted."~ This means that nothing anyone says about how we should be or should act is true, and that everything we could ever think of doing within the realm of actual possibility is permitted to happen.
There are also three tenets that the maker has set forth for the Brotherhood no member should brake:
Do not harm any fox with out cause~ Caledonia is a tribe of pice. Harming a fox with out cause goes against the Brotherhood
Always be discreet~ Be unseen. If you must go out Let the forest mask you such that you become one with nature
Never compromise the Brotherhood~ The actions of one must never bring harm to all.

CELEBRATIONS Celebrations will be held at the end of every month. Depending on the holiday it lands on, many different activities will be generated with prizes and fun to be had. Also, there will be a special event (when the Elder deems) where members will be allowed to challenge Head positions. (This is preliminary. Give us your opinion. If enough people do/do not like the idea we will either accept idea or reject)
