Felinid

The Felinids are a race of graceful and agile humanoid creatures with the characteristics of felines. Felinids embody the elegance, stealth, and independence of their feline counterparts, blended with humanoid intelligence and social complexity. They are known for their sharp senses, quick reflexes, and a strong affinity for magic and mysticism, often living in both urban and wild settings where they can thrive on the fringes of society or deep within untamed lands.

Society and Culture

Felinid society is as varied as the breeds of cats they resemble, ranging from solitary wanderers and small family units to larger clans that control vast territories. Their communities often blend seamlessly with their environment, whether it’s the rooftops of a bustling city or the canopies of a dense forest. Felinids value personal space and freedom but maintain a complex web of social connections through shared territories, mutual interests, or family ties.

Their culture celebrates individual skill, agility, and the pursuit of personal goals, with a strong emphasis on personal growth and self-discovery. Felinids are also known for their love of comfort and luxury, enjoying the finer things in life when they can.

Relations with Other Races

Felinids are adaptable and can be found in the company of many races, though their independent nature means they often keep to the fringes of society. They are generally well-regarded in urban environments for their ability to control vermin populations, though their aloof nature can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. In the wild, they often form alliances with races that share their respect for nature, such as Elves and Druids.

Felinid Adventurers

Felinid adventurers are driven by curiosity, the thrill of discovery, or the desire for personal achievement.
