One will not sit on a chair or use a table. By using such things you elivate yourself above where the gods have placed you. Those who do use tables and chairs are seen as disrespecting the gods and those guilty are asked to leave least their stain ruin the food and drink. If in an outsiders town, if one enters an area where this practice takes place, they must leave.

From the Tribe of the Beholder

All glory to the Beholder. His might is the might of the righteous, for he is a God on Earth. Beware those who would stand against our Lord. His will is true, his every desire right. All glory to the Beholder. He is the Light, the Way, the Path. All glory to the Beholder. His crown of eyes see all. All glory to the Beholder. His central eye reveals all falsehood, cancels all illusion, removes all lies. All glory to the Beholder. He is our King, our God, our Love, our Friend, our Master. All glory to the Beholder.

Theft is not evil. If you can take the posession of another from them and make it your own, it was never really theirs at all.

400. Murder is not evil. If you can succeed in killing someone for an infraction, real or imagined, then the Gods desired their death, or they would have stopped you. Killing the weak makes us stronger.

Before sleeping, you must lay a ring of salt around your bed. Evil spirits must ask permission to cross an unbroken line of salt.

402. If you meet a woman in battle, she is to be captured and put to work as one of the tribes slave and concubine, the women of your own tribe however are on equal footing with men, because your tribes women is better than other women.

403. like the one above, but with men.

Tribe of Metal Gorilla
404. Technology is holy and sacred, it is to be revered and worshiped, the more advanced it is, the more blessed it is.

405. to wear fur is to disrespect nature and your fellow animals, be smart and wear metal, it is holy.

406. do not use clubs, axes, or other such primitive things in battle, only for mundane tasks. instead use only swords and guns for battle, they are blessed.

407. speaking roughly without good grammar or speech plagues the air, speak clearly like a gentlemen.

Tribe of Laughing Bear

408. If you are ever in another tribe, all their customs are to be broken to show them the folly of their ways.

I've got a couple, didn't see them earlier, some might be mods though.
409: Trust No man, not even your brother, with hair of one shade, and beard of another.
410: Use every piece of an enemy (including humanoids) defeated,bones to teeth to hide. It is the only way to respect that they were valiant enough to stand against you.
411: Step not one foot outside of your house without your spear (or axe, or what have you).
412: Listen more than talk, a fool will reveal what he knows absentmindedly, while a wise man will know what not to say.
413: Carry extra provisions and clothes on your person. If you can feed and clothe a person in need, then you will be given a benefit later.
414: If you give a man a weapon, and they accept, you are of higher status than them.

I have a barbarian in play right now using some of these, and some others that was already mentioned. (The DM was shocked when I asked how many Kobold bodies there were, so I could make paper from their bones and kobold skin boots, belts, vests (all for children)...)

From the Tribe of the Breathing Forest
415. Meet a man with eyes as blue as sky, trust him not, my son, for his Word is always lie.
416. Meet a woman with hair yellow as straw, love her not, my son, for she shall do you wrong.
417. Meet a baby child bearing teeth from birth, draw your dagger's-blade, my son, spill that babe's blood to the earth.
418. Meet an old man whose back buckles from age, listen close to him, my son, for his advice is sage.
419. Meet an old woman whose face is wrinked and cracked, protect and keep her safe, my son, and the Gods shall pay you back.
420. Meet a fine companion along your chosen path, smoke this Purple Haze, my son, and enjoy a hearty laugh.
