guild cultures in four stones

(none of this was based on real beliefs or cultures i made it all up in my head i am hoping so much nothing in here is offensive if it is please lmk!!!)

notes of new jobs i added rq:

archive: cat who notes down and keeps track of major events within their guild merchant: cat who trades resources and goods with the other guilds guard: cat who guards the guild’s camp from intruders

ok here!!!

willow guild:

willow guild cats believe the water was meant for them. they can hold their breath beneath the water for a very long time because they spend so much time in it

willow cats are rumored by other guilds to be able to breathe underwater, but they can’t

the willow guild also holds respect for summer, which is “their” season

they hold value in shells; they use them for decoration, paint, medicine, cups for water, and currency

they trade their shells with other guilds for paint and medicine in return for the other guilds’ currency of choice

between one another, they also will trade small fish for things

fish are their main source of food. they thank the waters they catch them from, well aware of the fact that their food is more abundant than the other guilds

they are also known to hunt water birds such as herons and ducks, but they are less common and considered a sort of delicacy

they don’t hold the rivers and ocean up as a god per se, but they do believe they are alive and they respect them highly for granting them food and safety

they hold willow trees to a similar height

willow cats speak with warmth and friendliness. they treat each other as friends regardless of how well they know each other. terms of endearment are common

willow guild cats love song and stories. when possible, some may sing to themselves near constantly. telling stories and singing songs are their favorite group bonding activities

cats born in willow tend to be smaller in stature and rounder in size on average compared to other cats

willow guild cats don’t often push authority over each other. they consider everyone family, and family treats family equally. if a willow cat enforces their rank, you know you fucked up

willow guild cats have the standard jobs; hunter(also called fishermen), ranger, caretaker, cleric, messenger, builder, archive, merchant, and guard, along with pod and channeler

pods are cats that track fish populations and habits over the seasons

channelers watch the rivers and reroute them as needed throughout the seasons

pine guild:

pine guild cats value stealth over all else. if a cat isn’t stealthy, they are typically looked down upon

rumor has it that they can melt into shadows, and are the subject of many a scary kit tale

they consider the cold mountainous territory as meant for them, and they are the fiercest in protecting their land

they have respect for the snow and wintertime, and it is considered “their” season, when they are strongest

they value mushrooms, using them to trade with the other guilds as well as make paint and decorations. some even wear them

they also commonly trade feathers with one another

they are able to hunt anything from squirrels and birds to small deer and elk. they are put into special teams in order to take on bigger prey.

they see wolves, coyotes, and foxes as deities. they keep their distance and cats will look at them in respect

wolves are the highest deities, as they are the biggest. wolves never hunt cats, and storytellers will say that they are too important to hunt for their own food, though they can. it is thought that coyotes, the most common predator, hunts for the wolves

they hold pine trees to a similar height, often claiming to be spoken to by them

pine cats are quiet and cold in mannerisms. they don’t like to talk much, and are thought of as stiff and to the point in their words.

pine cats do not like music outside of celebrations. singing for fun is considered asking for trouble from predators, or scaring away prey willingly

they do, however, greatly enjoy stories. storytellers are often the most popular

cats born in pine are big and thick-furred. they easily tower over most other guilds’ cats, and are scary to face in battle

pine cats highly value rank. everyone has their place, and they will enforce it as much as they need to

pine guild cats have the standard jobs; hunter, ranger, caretaker, cleric, messenger, builder, archive, merchant, and guard, along with wolfwalker and tracker

wolfwalkers track and keep tabs on the wolves and coyotes in their territory

trackers watch over the herds of deer and elk, and work with hunters to know when and where to perform a catch

maple guild:

maple guild cats highly value the ability to climb and be high in trees. being scared of heights there is a nightmare

the forest is theirs in their minds. most are willing to protect their territory fiercely

one tactic that has worked surprisingly well is spreading rumors about themselves. their biggest rumor is that their territory is haunted by spirits of cats who trespassed

“their” season is fall, when the maples are considered to be at their prime. they value the changing leaves highly and will decorate their camp and dens with them, some even choosing to wear them

they value seeds of trees, mostly maple seeds, and use them as currency. their currency is considered worth the least. they trade them with the other guilds for various things, and are used in medicines and paint

they trade leaves between themselves often as well, considered the prettiest thing to decorate nests with

their prey almost entirely consists of small woodland animals like squirrels, birds, and mice

they view deer as a deity of sorts, the guide to the afterlife. they keep their distance from them as a sign of respect

maple cats are the most spiritual of the guilds, highly valuing the afterlife and spirits of cats. they are not necessarily religious, as they don’t have rules to follow to get to their afterlife. they are the most at peace with death, generally

they also view maple trees highly, often believing they are the most in tune to spirits and that they repel evil spirits

maple cats are rather subdued in nature. they aren’t the most talkative sort, but they speak miles more than pine cats. they’re polite and formal unless they’re talking with close friends and family

maple cats love music, preferring slower softer hymns. they love to sing to the trees, believing that it helps them keep up their strength and power to keep away evil spirits. stories are reserved for mostly only kits, considered a childish thing by older cats. they often tell their stories in songs instead

cats in maple are on the smaller side, but are typically pretty average in size for cats. they’re often rather sturdy in build, with toned shoulders

maple cats are rather lax in their ranks, but it is still loosely followed in their day to day tasks

maple guild cats have the standard jobs; hunter, ranger, caretaker, cleric, messenger, builder, archive, merchant, and guard, along with pathmaker and medium

pathmakers create and maintain paths through the territory

mediums are spiritually attuned cats that help guide spirits to a place called the deer’s hollow, where they believe a deer deity will take them to the afterlife

beech guild:

beech guild cats value speed very highly, and it isn’t uncommon for them to race each other to settle disputes

they value the fields and hills, and like to believe it was made for them

beech guild cats are the best at identifying gemstones and certain minerals. they use the more common kinds as currency and make them into paint when applicable

they are rumored to be fast enough to not be seen, but they aren’t quite that fast. they are decently faster than any other cats, though

they like to call spring “their” season, as the grasses grow again and flowers dot their hills

they use chips of gemstones as currency, trading them with other guilds. beech cats are considered the best at getting and making paint as they have a lot of rocks to use in it

they hunt fieldmice and rabbits mostly, with the occasional other prey from the neighboring lands

beech cats believe that stones have healing and spiritual powers. they use various crystals to protect their health and keep them strong. meanwhile, they don’t really believe in an afterlife; they believe that a cat who dies’ spirit goes into a crystal to aid living cats, hence the source of the powers. their dead are buried with part of the crystal they went into, as a source

they view beech trees highly, as they are the most common in their territory. they believe that the trees ward evil away, preventing evil from disrupting the cycle of becoming a crystal’s source. the source tree is the large one in the center of their camp

beech cats are very chatty, often being compared to birds. they are a little blunt, though they try not to be; they value honesty highly, and would rather be told the truth upfront

singing is common in the beech guild, with the belief that it helps spirits within the crystals. songs are shared often, and they love to sing loudly

beech cats are the most creative in their stories as well, often painting visuals to go along. their camp walls are covered in paintings

beech cats aren’t all that strong, but they are tall and lean. they have long legs and tails commonly

cats don’t lean very hard on the ranks of each cat, but it is enforced if someone is wildly out of line

beech guild cats have the standard jobs; hunter, ranger, caretaker, cleric, messenger, builder, archive, merchant, and guard, along with miner and secretary

miners are cats tasked with finding and collecting crystals and minerals

the secretary is the cat that tracks all the tasks for a day and keeps everyone on schedule
