Saatsine (new colors pending!) is a contingent of nomadic caribou hunters who rule by ferocity, following forever the herds. 'Saw-chee-na' is the pronunciation and means 'Clan of the Sun. They formed after packland was taken in an impulsive raid staged by Cen, then called Sun Eater. Loyalty and an inherent sense of hierarchy drive the Lanzadoii, as they and their language are also called, and interactions with members of the sun clan can quickly sour. They do not claim land but some may defend from time to time, and their traveling range encompasses the maximum a wolf might wander. They may move seasonally as well.

Current Leadership:

Chieftain: Cen

Others:

Darkfang: Meleys
War Chief: none (formerly Sivaak)
Ghost Talker: none, (formerly Daa'ka)


Cultural Keynotes:
— Taking captives has become more routinely practiced by Cen and is tacitly encouraged by him as a show of prowess.

— Marriage to outsiders is discouraged. A wolf must join the Saatsine, show their worth as a hunter, and perhaps even adopt a Lanzadoii name before they are welcome to mate.

— Do not kill hungry loners. Invite them to hunt. Invite them into the clan. If they decline or give teeth, destroy them.

— Migration of the Saatsine is expected to be swift once a new base camp is decided, though arrival times are usually staggered due to the freedom of their travel.

— Those willing to bloody themselves against more than caribou on the word of their chieftain are likely to become his ranked Bloodhunters, with higher status in the clan.

— Only the Ghost Talker is exempt from any Lanzadoii rules or restrictions. Seeking their favor is encouraged

take a look at the caribou hunter starter page to get a feel for the lanzadoii and their bands. each wolf will have their own band and internal practices, which may or may not contend with those of cen. that's the fun! the saatsine are largely played in character, including formation, hunts, communication, and conflict. message me on discord or here (caligulista) with any questions! if you would like to play a Bitterbrush band member, get with me so we can plan how they and cen are related!
