Status: Official tribe
Owner: Katachii
Elder: Ianthe
Tribe Location: The Bateau foxes live on an archipelago called the Shipwreck Islands in tropical, crystal clear water. Many of the islands are bordered by sandy beaches, and the interior of the islands are tropical, jungle-like forests. The weather is consistently mild, and rain is rare. A fresh-water river makes its one into one of the islands. All islands are accessible only by swimming. On the main island is the Shipwreck, the tribe's altar to their Modeity.
Patron Modeity: Thalassa, Modeity of the Oceans and Seas
Beliefs: To Bateau foxes, the ocean is the force behind all life, and their shipwreck is a representation of what the oceans stand for: Freedom, The Unknown, and Insignificance.
Freedom: Freedom is seen as being out on the ocean. It is recognized that almost no fox will ever be able to set sail, but Bateau foxes keep to this hope to boost their reason for living.
The Unknown: On top of being Freedom, the open ocean also represents what these foxes do not know. Little beyond the Shipwreck Islands and a few neighboring areas is familiar to the foxes, and so the ocean is highly revered for its power over fate- it shapes the lives of these foxes and affects the area around them.
Insignificance: The most important of the three key beliefs. It is in this view that Bateau foxes recognize how little they are in comparison to the expanse of ocean around them. The waters dominate, and no fox can hope to control the world. Arrogance is looked upon with great dislike.
Ideal For a Fox Who: likes tropical weather, can swim, is upbeat, or is depressed/hurt, etc. and looking for a supportive tribe.
