[banner for about]
Saligia members are simply who they are. They accept Seven Deadly Sins into their life as a driving force - they are defined as:
Pride - a desire to be more important or attractive than others. They fail to notice the good work of others, and excessively love themselves over all else.
Wrath - inordinate feelings of hatred and anger. In its purest forms, presents self-destructiveness and violence. Suicide, an act of anger turned inwards, is an example of wrath.
Gluttony - over-indulgence and -consumption of anything to the point of waste. It is considered a sin because it takes from the needy. It is also expanded to include the over-anticipation of meals/items and constant consumption of expensive details. There are six main ways to commit gluttony in relation to food.
xxxxxxxxxxxxPraepropere - eating too soon.
xxxxxxxxxxxxLaute - eating too expensively.
xxxxxxxxxxxxNimis - eating too much.
xxxxxxxxxxxxArdenter - eating too eagerly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxStudiose - eating too daintily.
xxxxxxxxxxxxForente - eating wildly.
Envy - The overwhelming desire for what someone else has to the point of wishing to deprive them of it. Similar to greed.
Greed - Similar to lust and gluttony in the idea of over-indulgence/excess. This is the desire for more and more material goods and is considered a sin because those who worship the standard dieties spurn them by taking too many material possessions.
Lust - The desire for intimacy, whether in thoughts, desires, or actions. An "excessive love of others", replacing love of deities underneath love of others.
Sloth - Apathetic listlessness. The neglect to take care of something you must do. The only sin that lacks or is insufficient in love or passion, a sin of omission.
Surprisingly, Lucien is not well-enamored of outer-tribe flings (and a fling with a Sanctimonia member might give Lucien and Galahad a heart-attack), though inter-tribe flings, or kits before lifemating, are accepted so long as both parties are okay with it - he does not well like tribe-wide feuds over BCRs and is Spartan enough in behavior to take the kits for himself and handle what will be done over them on his own. He will bless any and all lifematings, even if they are outer-tribe and as long as they are serious as he feels he has no position to judge their love. However, breaking life-mates are nearly impossible to get past the leader and he is not above an old-fashioned guilt-trip.
---
The tribe does little in form of celebrations - but, the tribe does eat together, once a week. This is one of the other things that Lucien will force. If he catches anyone but the sick or young eating wildly before dinner, he will be displeased and, though he might not make a scene of it, he will have a talk with the member. At dinner, the foxes speak to one another or make announcements if they have Lucien's approval to do so - a weekly meeting in which the foxes get to know one another and hear the problems in each other's life.
On the first day of fall - that is, the first day the crunch of yellow-brown leaves can be heard throughout the tribe lands, they celebrate. The coming winter, in its coldness and desolation, makes the Saligians feel at home. They spend the day doing nothing but entertaining each other like kits - they can work, if they so desire, but even Lucien himself comes down to play with the others and entertain himself in the crunch of the leaves.
Lucien also does a ceremony when kits become adults in which he speaks to them personally and discusses with them about themselves and where they see themselves in the tribe. This is a celebrated event as it moves the kits from just that - kits, even in an adult body, to full-fledged Saligia members. Lucien, despite his generally ill-tempered nature, also greatly enjoys speaking to future members.
---
The tribe is allied with Sanctimonia, a rivaling tribe based on the Seven Holy Virtues. Though Lucien thinks their beliefs are silly, he has agreed to disagree with them on the driving force on why foxes act as they do. He will not accept mocking of Sanctimonia or its beliefs, even when Sanctimonia isn't around. They are a sister and they are acceptable, and he will not tolerate disrespect. Whenever the tribes meet, Lucien speaks to Galahad as an equal - which is, to be honest, quite rare - and they then go on their way. After meeting Sanctimonia, they have a tribe dinner, in which they discuss the day's events and Lucien gives an announcement if it is required, or simply listens if not.
---
Saligians worship 7 'Deities (one for each sin) in passing, though the 'Deity of Sin, Nefas, is the main 'Deity that they pray to for strength to not only accept sins as part of themselves but also so that the sin does not take over them - though sin is a good thing, to Lucien and Saligians, Lucien is also keenly aware that "too much of a good thing" is very possible. Lucien himself, however, considers Edevus, the 'deity of pride and hubris, to be his patron and often prays to him and not Nefas.
[For an OOC note: This, as well as Sanctimonia, are obviously based on Christianity for the virtues/sins. You don't have to know anything about them, and you don't have to practice it. I don't, I'm not Christian.]

[banner for ranks~]
Elder - Pride. The elder is the most prideful of the bunch, and not without good reason. Saved for Lucien.
Hunter - Wrath. These foxes are the killers. They kill the enemies to protect the tribe as well as bring meat home.
Shaman - Gluttony. These foxes take more than they need of the forest - they compulsively collect herbs to keep the tribe healthy, and exemplify gluttony with their unending desire for more more more herbs, to deforest the forest a little more.
Gatherer - Envy. These foxes see what nature has to offer and, like the Shaman's gluttony, it's their job to steal whatever is useful to the tribe.
Scout - Greed. These foxes not only look to steal food and herbs from nature by alerting gatherers, hunters, and shamans to their location, but they also help to find more land and look for intruders and see what they have to offer the tribe. They want everything and they're constantly on a mission to get it.
Carer - Lust. In emboding what created these mini foxes, they can care for them better.
Tribe Member - Sloth. The laziest of the lazy, these tribe members are possibly jacks of all trades or are simply not good at anything. Whatever the reason might be, however, they have no job and can lay around for a good deal of the day. How slothlike!
Elder - Lucien.
Hunter - Lilith.
Shaman -
Gatherer -
Scout - Zenobia.
Carer -
Tribe Member - Asmodeus.

The snake. Secretive and sinful, it is the everyday symbol of the Saligia members, even so far as being a part of Lucien's mood. This tattoo may be done in anything but white - even gray, though the darker the better - though it is reccommended heavily that it be in red or black, unless it is impossible to see on the fox. A closed jewellry form might be acceptable if the fox is too patterned/is against tattoos.

Saligia lives upstream from its sister clan - they live much farther inland, however, in a forest and around the base of the mountains a little, and so they depend on large game instead of fish, like Sanctimonia. They can occasionally go into the mountains, since they live quite near the base. They are a distance from Sanctimonia but not too far to visit, on occasion.
