Pultra

What Pultra Is
Pultra is one of the religions on Doggietopia. Doggies that follow this religion believe that beauty is the best thing in the world, and they need to be beautiful and stay close to the beautiful things. A Doggie that follows this religion is called a Lapide.

On special days, Lapides celebrate normally, but add one more celebration method: Perfuming. As well as being clean and beautiful, they also like to smell that way, so they create a perfume that matches the celebration the day before, and on the day they wear it. Some Lapides like to spray it in the air in addition.

Rules of the Religion

 * 1) Always be beautiful and clean, and never take off your Pultra Gloves unless you need to clean either your paws or the gloves.
 * 2) Don't go near things that aren't beautiful.
 * 3) Always carry something beautiful around with you to bring good luck.
 * 4) Decorate your personal place (house, room, garden etc) so that it's pretty.

Stories and Lessons
They don't have any stories, but they get their beauty tips and DIYs from a pretty book called the Libro Lepidior. They learn things like how to brush and wash their fur to be as smooth as silk, and how to keep your house clean and tidy.

Special Place
The place where they read the Libro Lepidior together and do their beauty rituals is called a Pulchra Loco. They go there every Sunday at 12pm to read the Libro Lepidior, and then they do a ritual called Lex Sublimes. To perform the Lex Sublimes ritual, you need to sprinkle sugar water over the Lapides who are taking part, then they all put their front paws in the air and say: 'Fac mihi bella cotidie' 3 times. They will then be beautiful every day for the next week.

Doggies can book a ceremony to become a Lapide on Tuesdays. At the ceremony, first the Lapide-to-be takes a luxury bath for 30 minutes. Then, they walk into the hall of the Pulchra Loco where everybody is sitting on the oak benches, and the Lapide-to-be goes onto the stage and says a beauty poem that they made up. If the manager of the Pulchra Loco thinks's it's suitable and good, they'll give the Lapide-to-be a beauty kit and some Pultra gloves (gloves that protect paws from dirt), and pronounces them a Lapide!
