The FauriLore
Goddess Statues
The Fauri believe in a single Goddess, and know her by her statues: giant stone monoliths, always lying down, always with her head bowed. Her antlers are huge and branching - spreading upward until they are simply trees. Due to this, many Fauri and Courts are both superstitious and reverent of the trees within their forest.
Nobody agrees on why her head is bowed. Some say she's sleeping, some that she's grieving, and some that she's simply listening to the roots.
Trees
Due to their Goddess, Fauri are highly superstitious over trees. A living tree is never cut - it would be like sawing at her antlers - so the Fauri build only with fallen wood, and a tree struck by lightning is the worst omen a Court can be given.
A sapling is planted for every faunling, and how it grows is read as a sign of how the child will. A faunling whose tree fails to thrive will often find themself shunned by some individuals in their Court.
Rejected Males
Males with no House to call their own are often found at the statues, lying against her side - seeking the comfort of the cold stone just as they sought the comfort of their father's warmth when they were young.
