TRIBE OF SANDSTONE—
These cats claim home to a sweltering desert, depending on their faith and each other to survive in the boiling sand.
religion
Formed by the wandering and lost, the Tribe of Sandstone have lived in the rocky desert they call home for generations. They strongly believe in their three gods, Cha'at, God of Rain, Pakieth, Goddess of the Hunt, and Jiu'tare, Goddess of Family and War. They depend on their guidance, spoken through visions of their deceased ancestors.
The Tribe speaks with their ancestors at the Hollow of Fire, a circular pit filled with low flames that are rumored to never extinguish. The Hollow of Fire is a days travel south of the Tribe, and the Oracle often travels here with their apprentice to speak with them.
The Cougar receives their occasional guidance and signs in the Cave of Clay, a scooped out cleft behind the Tribe's home. Ancestors paint signs onto the walls with muddy clay and sand. Only the Oracle, or the Cougar can properly interpret these signs.
Rite of the Apprentice, is a challenge made for kits ready to become apprentices. They're taken to a sandy floored cave, and must sleep there the whole night. Their ancestors will send them a dream with the name of their mentor, and it's here they must decide their patron deity.
Patrons, are a cats chosen deity! A cat picks the God/ess they feel they identify with and give their respects and are given guidance from them.
Rite of Adulthood, an apprentice ready to become a Hunter or Guard, is taken to the sandy floored cave once again. Here, they must enter deeper into the cave earn their Patron's respect with a specialized challenge. They must never talk about the specifics of the challenge with any other cat.
territory
The Tribe lives in a sandy camp, sheltered by a thick clump of low growing bushes and cat claws. A hill of red and brown swirled stone rises behind them, and their territory stretches from here, to the Watering Hole, a fiercely fought over stream that flows into a pool. Look at a reference, here.
The Cougar, or leader, lives in a well worn bush beside the hill behind the camp. The Oracle and Healer share a den, in the middle of the camp, in a hollow rock. The Guards and Hunters live together in a fallen over jumble of dead yuccas. The apprentices shelter in a large group of tumbleweeds, held in place by a cat claw.
