Fubuki Tribe
Structure
The Fubuki Tribe is part of the larger Fenniko (fox-tail) culture, but stands out as the only tribe that has adopted a bilineal system, which means descent and inheritance are traced through both the male and female lines. The tribe is warrior-based, focusing on survival in harsh tundra conditions, with leadership often falling to the most experienced individuals during times of war or need.
Culture
Nomadic Lifestyle: The Fubuki Tribe leads a nomadic life, primarily residing in the Shirakami Tundra in the northern Terrosia. They are highly connected to the harsh winters and view cold as a spiritual force. Their culture revolves around ice fishing, hunting, and survival in the frozen landscapes.
Cultural Practices: Their immunity to cold allows for unique traditions like snow baths and winter festivals. These events, along with rituals that honor the cold as a purifying force, are central to their identity. Ice sculpting and sled races are among the activities that keep the tribe connected and engaged even in the most extreme weather.
Public Agenda
While urban Fubukians may align with the public goals of the cities they live in, they often maintain an underlying agenda focused on preserving their cultural identity and supporting their kin in the tundra. These urbanized individuals act as a bridge between the traditional Fubuki lifestyle and the demands of modern city life.
Demography and Population
Population and Division: As the Fubuki Tribe's numbers dwindle in their native tundra, some migrated southward to Nyaan Empire cities like Dragonstable or Cathra, where they could find work and safety. These urbanized Fubukians now live scattered among the larger Dono population, often forming small communities within the cities.
Employment and Industry: Fubukians in the cities tend to find work in industries that value their keen senses and adaptability. They often excel in professions related to scouting, craftsmanship, and even military service.
Artisan and Craftsmanship Roles: Fubukians may become master artisans, working in industries like ice sculpting, metalworking, or other trades that require precision and skill.
Military Service: Their warrior heritage can lead urban Fubukians to join city militias or imperial forces, where they can leverage their resilience and adaptability.
Agriculture & Industry
The Fubuki Tribe relies on foraging, ice fishing, and small-scale agriculture adapted to the tundra's frozen soil. They cultivate a unique crop known as frost corn, which can survive in these cold conditions.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure and Living Conditions: In the cities, Fubukians live in more structured environments, often adopting the architectural styles and infrastructure of the dominant races in the area. However, they are known to make their homes in cooler parts of the city, and may decorate their homes to reflect the cold, stark beauty of the tundra.
Adapting to City Living: While their ancestors thrived in open-air tundra environments, urban Fubukians have adapted to smaller, confined spaces. They may integrate technologies like ice-cooling systems or air ventilation to simulate their cold natural environment.
