Caitiann

Catfolk, or Caitians, are considered one of the most proud races on Avel. Not only do the Caitians have a history of great leaders, but they are also known for their explorers and equaled by none in creature comforts.

Physical Description

In general, Caitians are lithe and slender, standing midway between dwarves and humans in stature. While clearly humanoid, they possess many feline features, including a coat of soft fine fur, slit pupils, and a sleek, slender tail. They can vary in feline species resemblance, from resembling small house cats, to tigers or lions. Their ears are pointed, but unlike those of elves, are more rounded and catlike. They manipulate objects as easily as any other humanoid, but their fingers terminate in small, sharp, retractable claws. These claws are typically not powerful enough to be used as weapons, but some members of the species—either by quirk of birth or from years of honing—can use them with deadly effect. Feline whiskers are not uncommon, but not universal, and hair and eye color vary greatly.

Society

There are two main cultural ideologies of the Caitians: the Wildlings and the Civilized.

The Wildlings, often referred to as the Farrels, live in the forests and plains of the Avel, living in packs of 3-10 and tribes into the hundreds. It is rare that one of these packs or tribes to remain in one location for more than a few months, but they do often return to previous locations. Wildlings are some of the greatest explorers in history, including the finding of the Great Swan's Marchessies.

The Civilized, or derogatorily called the Domests, are Caitians who live in the civilized cities. Many of them own Inns, shops of all sorts, and some of the best sea food restaurants, and the decorations and comfort are always over the top.
