General Description and Biology

Felidred are born as kittens and shed their fur around the time they turn
three to take on a human form. They are known shapeshifters, but need their
cat-fur to shift into a large feline. Their cat form tends to be on the very
large size of cat. While in their human form, they have cat eyes and often
have fur covered human ears. In addition, they have tufts of cat fur that
are part of the felindred pelt that allowed them to shift. Aside from that,
they would look human- even bringing with them their ritual markings if they
have completed their quest. If their pelt is stolen, they cannot shapeshift.

Basic Personality

Felindred are very Spiritual as a race. Those who fail their ritual quest
are considered Rogues and while they are not shunned, they are not as
respected as others in society. They are a shy race, but welcoming for those
who are invited to their lands. It is tradition to offere food and drink to
any who sit at their table with them.

Origin and Lore

Also known as Kindred Feline, Felindreds migrated from a far off land, just
as the snow fae did. King Wynter, son of King Northen, helped the Felindred
to build a village for themselves and they named it Wildreach. It is inside
the border of Hope's Empire, just a few leagues south of Hope's Hamlet gate.
The village is small, holding no more than 10 families, but the Felindred
have no issue with this. They rarely leave Hope's Empire, but when they do,
it's either for a ritual quest, or to buy supplies. The Felindred are also
known as Kindred Feline and feel sorry for the Mrem who wander the land, as
the Mrem will never know what it is to be a full cat.

Naming Conventions

The Felindred generally name themselves after plants found in nature, but
have been known to also name themselves after concepts they aspire to.
Examples: Nyghtshayd, Comphry, Rosemaerrie, Thymme.

Preferred Habitat

They prefer the cold reaches of Elzeothis, keeping to the snowy areas near
the glaciers. The Hope's Empire and the villages within it, like Wildreach
are home to them. The Felindred have been living in this place for over a
hundred years.

Society Structure

At sixteen, the Felindred must undertake a quest adapted to fit the
training they have undergone so far. There is a large training hall in the
village where the Felindred may learn which path to take. The shaman of the
village consults with the family, as well as the Count, who leads the
village. The Felindred teen has one year to complete the task and if not
completed, they either return late and in shame, working the lowest jobs, or
never return at all and become a Rogue. Rogues have been known to cause
quite a stir. As a reward for completing the task set before them, the
Felindred will receive a tattoo of a pouncing cat, the men on the forearm
and the women on the back.
