CULTURE + RULES - Fae - August 12, 2018 ARCANA
Arcana exists for two primary purposes, the first being a haven for foxes, where they may live and grow peacefully without fear of larger predators. The second, is finding ways to keep those predators at bay, to intimidate and at times perhaps to fascinate them. The foxes here take all the preconceived notions, the myths and the stories, and use them as a guide to their own defense- as well as their own amusement.
Here they will build their reputation upon the illusions they perform, to convince the outside world of their control of an unknown power not to be trifled with. Daring acts of acrobatics, fire-dancing and even making one-self disappear are among the tricks the foxes here are capable of. On the inside, it is all hard work, an intricate set of smoke and mirrors, while on the outside it may seem entirely different. These performances are not only to intimidate and bewitch other beasts but are too a source of enjoyment for those that take part in them. To hone one's craft and to share it with even just the rest of the tribe is what many of the magicians live for. Much like the territory itself, to the outside Arcana is a darker, unwelcoming place, though deeper within, beyond the deep wood and the costumed entertainers, there is a sanctuary. Defended by the more outgoing foxes, those simply seeking shelter, safety and a simple life reside among the fields, along the river forged from a grand waterfall. Here, a portion of Arcana lives a little quieter, gardeners and teachers take their place here, growing and nurturing all its members RE: Culture - Fae - August 12, 2018 RULES

APPRENTICESHIPS
As a way of coming of age, each kit born of or accepted into Arcana, is expected to seek out a member holding of any rank, and seek apprenticeship from them. The chosen master must agree to take on the youngster as their apprentice, and help to guide them in their chosen skill. After enough time has passed the youth will come together as a group and what they've learned will be evaluated by either their Teachers or Leadership, given a pass or fail based on their knowledge. Those who pass are given the opportunity to take up the rank they apprenticed for. Should the youth either be given a failing grade or never take on a master, they will move on to the Prospects until they can find a new way to prove themselves.
