Aw dang! I was going to put all the fisher-folk together around that number six. I like that we're on the same page!

Material Culture

Basic materials:  Stone, Wood, Bone+Horn, Skins, Hair+Wool, Clay, and Plant Fibre.

(Looks like I can level up one material or pick a new one. I feel like picking a new one.)

One additional material: Glass

(I think I have to talk about the examples for each material, so I will. This feels a tiny bit unclear as to what exactly to do here.)

• Stone: In the mountains, the stone is easy to work with and everyone has a wide variety of tools. There are a few individuals that have a lot of stoneworking skill and there are some basic stone structures for housing and storage.
• Wood: Most wood items are furniture rather than housing. 
• Bone+Horn: These materials are often turned into cooking implements or jewelry-like accessories if the hunt is particularly astounding.
• Skins: Animal skins are turned into suncloaks for day to day travel.
• Hair+Wool: Some comfort clothing and other decor. Weaving becomes a sign of status.
• Clay: Cookware and dishes for eating. Clay is tied to the earth, so burial rites make use with clay coverings and decorated cairns.
• Plant Fibers: Backpacks and hats for sun protection and travelling
• Glass: Jewelry becomes more status-giving, and elevating food onto refined glass instead of base clay becomes the norm.

Architecture

The common architecture of this culture becomes igloo-like stone dwellings, sometimes with dug basements. Travel dwellings are pod-like sleeping bag cocoons made made of animal hides and hung in trees for safety. 

Occasions

• Migration of herd animals: When the food animals they largely subsist on go to migrate just before the winter, there is a celebration to send off the animals to be fruitful, so they come back with more numbers to sustain the people. It is taboo to slaughter one of these animals at this time and people fast part of the time in recognition of the reduced food.
• The middle of the rainy season: At this point, some areas of the valley see a lot of flooding, so folk retreat to cave dwellings for a few weeks. A few people go back and forth to ensure the main houses are fine, but the sudden rising water can catch people unawares, and everyone watches out for easily-lost children who can't swim.

(I rolled for these. I wanted numbers so I didn't have to count out of laziness)

Virtue

Cunning is highly valued as nature can be unpredictable and knowing how to get out of a random, desperate situation in the mountains at night is the height of coolness. Many people tell tall-tale stories of increasingly unlikely situations and it is something of a game to outwit a storyteller.

Values

Ecology is highly valued so society knows its place in the larger ecosystem. Animals are not hunted to the last numbers, plants are cultivated, things are kept in balance between prey and predator.

Did I do this right? I just brainstormed and made stuff up. :)

almost done the material culture post, just a few things to finish in the morning

Culture: Fauns, Rusalka, combined

 I'll say that they have fraught interfertility. Pregnancy is rare, but not dangerous, and seen as auspicious. Children vary from looking like slightly different fauns to slightly different Rusalka, but typically maintain the hairiness of Fauns, the skin colour of Rusalka, lose the hoofs, and swim well.

 Subsistence

They continue to herd nautiluses, which now tend to roam less and stay closer to shore due to selective breeding. Hunting with obsidian remains common, particularly the aurochs, although a strategy of pinning them between the land and sea is now common. Obsidian is in fact incredibly plentiful due to nearby geothermal activity. Being now more sedentary, they have started some limited horticulture of seaside plants for food.

 Materials

As mentioned, obsidian remains very important, as does nautilus shell. Fauns have adopted nautilus shell armour for land-based hunting and decorative and religious arts.  Basketry and rope-making ahve been invented, both using a type of seaside shrub and hair from the aurochs. Rough felt clothing and furs are used for special occasions (due to being ruined by the water); most clothing is either stiff leather (due to the water) or roughly woven plant matter. Horns are used for drinking and for decorative items, as well as needles.

Small boats have been developed, used mostly by Fauns.

 Architecture:

Buildings are usually by the seaside. A raised base of stone, earth or sometimes wood piles is constructed, to keep them away from high tides, and semi-permanent wood and animal skin tents are built on top, which are robust to the common earthquakes. Rusalka primarily live on land with the Fauns.

 Occasions;

- Main Auroch migration begins: As the weather gets cold, everyone starts spending more time on land, heated by geothermal activity, rather than in the cold ocean. At the same time, the numbers of aurochs increase and they start relying on the hunt. The first hunt of the season is a joyous occasion, dedicated to the gods of the shaking earth to ask them to supply a bountiful hunt and quell the shaking.

 Full moon: It is known that the moon affects the tides, and thus it is believed to watch over the sea. On the full moon, people gather in boats at sea, decorated with nautilus shell chimes.

Virtue:

Generosity: Society is built on webs of mutual obligation, relying on different foods and resources with seasonal and ecological changes, and with catastrophe coming often. There are strict moral obligations on when you must give freely in times of strife, even to your enemies.

 Value:

Ecology: the people of the land and the people of the sea; the aurochs and the nautilus; these are all a part of a delicate system that ebbs and flows with the tide. When disaster strikes - earthquakes in particular - it is because things are out of balance.

• Stone, Wood Bone and Horn, Skins, Hair and Wool, Clay, Plant Fiber
• Copper
• Advanced with Wood

Architecture

The basic architectural style is split log longhouses. They are known to create homes for times or trouble in the trees of their heavily wooded forest area.

Occasions

The culture honors the lunar phases specifically the Crescent Moon and New Moon. They call the Crescent Moon the Blessed Smile, stolen away by the Shadow of the New Moon, a time for caution.

The Time of the Smile is a celebration of great feasting, joy and dancing. The Shadow Time is celebrated by a festival where children dress as the Smiling Man or the Shadow and chase one another. The Smiling Man is a devilish trickster.

Virtue and Value

This culture values personal cunning. Cunning has helped their people survive in the great forest and brought the early Soviety together. Their society values Freedom. What this looks like is that every person contributes to the community but is expected to develop an interest of personal significance, a spark. They balance exploring their spark with supporting the needs of the community.

I'll aim to look at this tomorrow. I was a little unclear about what was needed.
