Felis
Short and furry
Felis are often underestimated due to their short stature and cuddly demeanor. Felis come in all shapes and colors. They can grow to be up to 3ft tall and often vary in their weight due to differing habits. Felis range from fiery gingers to the cool, calculating cerulean blues. The sub species of Felis all have their own quirks, but as a species they are known to be intelligent and gifted adventurers.
| Felis are among the shortest races and are often overlooked for their small stature. Their domesticated ancestor, the house cat, is sometimes what all other races will see when dealing with a Felis. Adventuring Felis have learned to use this to their advantage, often sweet talking the tall folk into increasing their fee and rewards. But this talent isn't just limited to deal making; in combat, foes will often disregard and even turn their backs to a Felis, providing and opening to strike. |
Each breed of Felis has their own Clan of which they are very proud. This often leads to scuffles and contests of pride of oneself and of Clan. There has always been a healthy rivalry among the different breeds of Felis. Some rivalries end in brawls and others end with shame and loss of respect. Often individuals will be challenged to single combat for their honor, and on the rarest of occasions, the honor of an entire clan.
Nine lives short lived
Felis live up to 135 years of age. It is whispered they possess nine lives and by some forgotten curse, they burn through each life every 15 years. This has led many Felis adventurers to set out on a quest to seek an end to their curse and restore the race's full life span. With their cursed nine lives, the Felis travel alone with an eagerness to get the most from life which drives them to move through it, rarely forming strong attachments to the many non-Felis with which they become acquainted. Felis live their lives with a strong sense of magic. Most Felis are able to sniff the wizard in a room full of grey bearded pointy hat wearing men. Other races often construe the Felis' innate magic sense to their origins as Wizard's familiars, used as conduits for magical energy to aid in spellcasting.
Clan Hierarchy
The Felis clans are overseen by a clan elder who is elected by the clan as a whole. The Elder doesn't have to be elderly to achieve the title, but those who take the mantle young are seen as inexperienced. Ranked below the Elders, in name only, are the Clan Mothers. Clan Mothers are those who manage the Clan's home affairs, organize quests, assign apprenticeships, and just about anything else. While Elders are elected, Clan Mothers will choose a promising child and tutor them personally. After the Clan Mother passes, the chosen child will take up the role.
