One last "Tribe" may get a mention: the Khara were the Sabretooths of North America. They may have been the first Tribe, or may not. Since they were killed by an Ice Age, that may never be known.

			== Organization ==
			With the exception of the Simba, Bastet are solitary hunters, with little motivation to form a cohesive, interactive society of their own. One of the few exceptions to this is the time of Fostering. Werecats generally judge another of the Folk on his or her individual merits. They neither seek (nor offer) subservience to one another, save for the rightful esteem given to a teacher, mentor, or one who has earned the personal respect of an individual Bastet. Such deference is rarely given, and because of that, it means far more to the Folk than it would to a race that constantly scrambles over its pecking order. Bastet hold honor dear, but it is honor to one’s self, one’s word, one’s Kin and kind, to the earth, and to one’s secrets — not to a system of rank or prestige.

			Bastet can and do gather into temporary prides, where a rough hierarchy is quickly established and frequently contested. Spirit allies, called Jamak, assist werecats who perform some great kindness for their mortal cousins. Vampires and wizards often join werecat quests, and even the hated Garou serve a common purpose at times. Only werecats, however, can join a taklah, a pride where everyone has put their differences aside to accomplish a common goal, such as kicking Pentex out of the rain forests. Taklah members usually pick their leaders through mutual respect and consensus; really powerful Bastet occasionally seize control of such prides, but unless their "subjects" are Simba (who accept leadership more gracefully than other werecats do), such dictators are likely to find themselves alone when the hammer falls. Such groups are also always temporary, as werecats are no real team-players.

			=== Hierarchy ===
			Bastet nonetheless recognize a hierarchy. It does not denote absolute authority as it would among the Garou, but rather polite deferment and acknowledgement of experience. Bastet titles always have a social meaning outside of their rank.

			:• Rank 1 - Tekhmet: "Little One". A term of address (usually condescending) from elder cat to a youngster.
			:• Rank 2 - Akaa: "Truthchaser". An honorific between Bastet of equal rank.
			:• Rank 3 - Tilau: "Accomplished Friend". A respectful title of address denoting experience and accomplishment.
			:• Rank 4 - Ilani: "Wonder Favored". A title used when flattering another Bastet.
			:• Rank 5 & 6 - Bon Bhat: A respectful term for an elder, also used to greet the host when attending a Taghairm in a foreign land for the first time.

			When Bastet meet, it is ''Taghairm'', a neutral meeting ground sanctified by rituals and protected by the spirits. ''Taghairm'' is a way to settle disputes, share information, and brag.

			=== The Karoush ===
			There is a code of conduct among the Bastet known as 'the Karoush', and it's basic principles are as follow:

			:• Honor Yourself
			:• Honor Your Word
			:• Honor Your Kin and Kind
			:• Honor Your Earth
			:• Honor Your Silence

			=== Breeds ===
			The Bastet have three Breeds

			• Homid - who are born from humans

			=== Pryio ===
			Werecats have no Auspices, instead relying on a Pryio (also known as "Moon-Favor") to determine their place and how the cat approaches life and handles the challenges thrown their way. While it is often determined by the time of day in which the Bastet achieved her First Change, Pryio can shift if the Bastet undergoes a severe life change.

			• Homid - regular human
			• Sokto - near-human
			• Crinos - human-cat hybrid, incites a dampened form of the Delirium

	In addition to the usual heightened senses, Bastet possess padaa, a sense that combines smell and taste from a distance. To use it, a Bastet opens his mouth, flares his nostrils, and inhales. The air passes across his tongue and an organ in the roof of his mouth, allowing him to perceive multi-sensory details about the world around him.
