❅ INTRODUCTION !
Oh hello there! Welcome to Snowbound! Did you walk all the way out here? You'll catch cold standing out here in the snow all day. Come inside quickly; the caves and company are much warmer. We love having new arrivals. I'm sure you'll be a great hit with the kids. they've been looking for someone to bug. Only partly kidding of course. We have hot chocolate inside. Won't you join us for a while?
❅ TERRITORY !
With the destruction of their old home, Snowbound moves to the frozen lake in the territory. They are nestled within a mountain range, which is covered in snow for most if not all of the year.
Snowbound's MAIN CAMP is a rocky spire in the middle of the lake, which is accessible by bridges. There are wooden staircases leading to higher levels of the spire, and people often have huts hooked to the spire itself. Some may choose to nestle in small dens carved from the spire. The only thing one must watch out for is slipping due to the ice that forms underneath the snow.
Ref 1 Ref 2
The FISHING HUTS are for those who cannot brave the climb to the spire, or for those who would like to go fishing -- ice fishing or regular fishing. These take the appearance of cabins, nestled on the shores of the lake, and of the river that feeds it. These offer a warm, cozy home to those who live there.
Ref 1 Ref 2
The MOUNTAINS surround Snowbound, partially providing a natural barrier. They are also meant to be the hosts of fun games, such as snowboarding, sledding, etc. The mountains often appear blue, purple, or black in color, however they are most often blanketed in snow.
Ref 1 Ref 2 Ref 3
The HOT SPRINGS offer relaxation. They are often considered the warmest place within the territory, a place carved out of rock where hot water floods. Most of the time, they're a blue-green in color.

❅ TRADITIONS !
The people of Snowbound are free to practice their own beliefs, so long as they don't bring conflict with them. On the other hand, those who are tied to the tribe may choose to follow a loose form of animism; the belief that people, plants, objects, and weather phenomena hold a spiritual essence. In short, some believe that nature in itself should be treated with the utmost respect and should never be carelessly wasted or destroyed.
1. Hot chocolate is a staple of Snowbound, provided almost 24/7 to everyone and anyone who wants a warm treat. Joiners and visitors from other clans are given cocoa as a sort of peace offering.
2. For their titles, Snowbound gives each member a necklace and as they earn the titles and they get different animal pendents to put on that necklace to represent which ones they've received.
3. On the nights when Aurora Borealis- or "the Dancing Lights"- can be seen, each and every member leave their homes to go camping out in the snow, setting up tents and coming together as a family. During this time, it is possible for the living to commune with long deceased ancestors provided by a spiritual veil gifted by the Aurora. At sunrise, a flurry of games and activities set up by a chosen few are put into motion, kick-starting a full and joyous day of festivities.
6. At the beginning of every month, Snowbound visits the lake and has a bonfire and shares scary stories with their allies and neutrals. This event is called a Mass Gathering.
7. Snowbound also believes in superstitions, mostly used to tell scary stories during the Mass Gathering. Believing in these creatures are not mandatory, but it is funny to see others' reactions about them! These superstitions are detailed below.
