Hut Building Weaver BirdThe Tribe of Hut Building Weaver Bird houses the Carpentry Society, one of the few wide-reaching organisations in Tanizu. As the name suggests, the Societyspecialises in constructing structures and furniture. Such constructions range from the classic square house to multi-section residences for more wealthy clients to sturdy Kantu cots to stylish ornamented Lanak lounging couches. All of this is made possible from simple materials such as wood, jute and furs.

The Age GradesWhen Tanizu children reach the age of nine, they are trained to take part in a sacred ritual enacting the story of the great struggle of beasts and men against the enraged creator and the plants of the earth. When they are sixteen, all the children of their age enact the ritual, signaling a transition in life to adult responsibilities and military training. The children who complete this ritual progress through life together, taking part in successive rituals that mark each passage into a new phase of life. The close bonds this creates gives the Tanizu a highly organized force of warriors.

Rememberers of Beast and ManAmong the Tanizu there are those who awaken to the power of the beast within their spirit, experiencing a sudden flash of power as they perform the sacred ceremonies. These newly awakened mongoose shifters, leopard shifters, and elephant shifters are inducted into special lodges of their kinds and taught to use medicine by the elders. Each shifter is a great asset to their tribe.

Ceremonial MarriagesThe Tanizu are spread over many villages and small tribes, each with their own rituals and relationship with the spirits of the land. Great Tanizu leaders and their children sometimes ceremonially marry important chiefs, creating familial bonds but living apart as separate households. Because the Tanizu do not practice monogamy or restrict marriage to being between the opposite sex, this creates incredibly complex networks of familial ties that stretch across the entirety of the tribes.

Village WatchersTanizu villages sport many wooden figurines fashioned in the likenesses of heroes and warriors. These all face outward, protecting the village from evil spirits and the witchcraft of the hags. When a village is truly threatened, nails are driven into them and the village’s guardian spirits animate to battle.

IbijubzaIbijubza are large root vegetables grown in Tanizu villages. They are soft and sweet tasting when cooked, pairing well with the milk of cattle or on their own. There is no formal harvest time for the ibijubza, for they grow all year round, but they are usually planted after festival days and harvested before them

The Alternate ModelWhen the Cannorians first met the Tanizu they were fascinated by their minimally hierarchical societies and matriarchal tendencies. Many famous Cannorian philosophers have written treatises theorizing on how the structures of Tanizu society might be applied to Cannorian society to make it more equal. As for the Tanizu, they are already equal.
