Or societies that do not believe in the inherent idea of the soul in all things.

			<blockquote>“Oh I love what you’ve done with your fur, the way you’ve styled ribbons into it reminds me of a great soaring bird” – Two Canari talking over tea </blockquote>Clothing and fashion varies from person to person, some prefer to wear loose fitting clothing to allow their fur to lay nicely, some prefer to wear tight fitting clothing to flatten their fur. As a general, fur is often a topic of fashion and allows one to express themself. While fur is in natural color ranges and hues for normal canines of their climate region, fur dye is becoming more common. Fur can also be manipulated in the same way as hair allowing for hair styles, braiding, and modification of length.

	Tattooing is possible, it is colloquially known as tattooing though the process is more in line with freeze-dry branding. This method makes the branded fur regrow white. Accessories on the ears are common as well as other types of piercings. Done traditionally as a way to represent rites of passage or respect nature, but can also be for self expression. Accessories on the tail are also common: ribbons, feathers, chains, and other fun inclusions.

			<blockquote>“Watch the shape of the trees, see how the wind howls and the leaves swirl? Watch the patterns and how they flow, now let's try channeling that spell again.” – A druid teaching magic to a young pup</blockquote>The Canari believe in what would be known as Animism, the idea that all things both living (people, animals, plants) and not (such as the weather, rocks, or geographical locations) possess spiritual essence, life, or agency. They believe that there is a great balance to everything in the universe, that everything works together as parts of a whole. It is said that all life is sacred and to lead a good life involves helping maintain this balance. Spirituality is another part of life, there is no distinction between natural and supernatural.

			<blockquote>“Hey your ship isn’t looking too good, have you watered it lately?” – A Canari’s comment to a very confused Aurelian</blockquote>The Canari use a mixture of traditional handmade tools from animal and natural materials and contemporary bio-mechanical technology. Their technological base is rooted in the forces of nature and magic. They then utilize biology, botany, and engineering to marry these concepts into something akin to living technology. The roots of trees curl through metal and plating like the circulatory system of the human body. Sigils are also used to infuse tools with the energies and spirits of nature.

Felari and Canari work together most notably in the pursuit of bio-technological advancement.
	* The Canari have established trade with the Aurelians, organic materials in exchange for contemporary technology. Mainly the Canari trade with the Aurelians for tools and machines that assist with the harvesting and processing of animal and plant products. In return, the Canari provide organic materials such as animal products and specialty dishes. The Canari don’t understand the Aurelian’s dislike of magic and find them limited by the way they organize themselves and their society.		* The Canari have established trade with the Aurelians, organic materials in exchange for contemporary technology.

			* Ties with the Ferrans are tentatively calm, while the Canari and Ferrans have similar beliefs in regards to all things having souls, they differ greatly in the way they proceed with this information. The Ferrans have established trading for plant material that would not survive growth on Singulon. Some Kins have a working business relationship with fringe Canari clans, loaning out workers to assist with terraforming efforts. This relationship is kept out of the public eye due to Canari views on nature, as most Canari would view this as a violation of nature that would lead to disaster.
