General Description and Biology
Rawulves are humanoids with the characteristics of canines. Rawulves are
often tall, muscular, and generally intimidating for smaller races. Most
commonly displaying the characteristics of wolves, dogs, hyenas, Rawulves
looking like other canines aren't unheard of. While Some rawulves do have
more human-like skin partially covering their bodies; all Rawulves have
tails, canine teeth, and sharp claws, as well as a thick pelt of fur around
their bodies that protects them from even the harshest cold. Their facial
features are also canine-like, having snouts, canine noses, and large ears.
They are omnivorous, but prefer fresh food over dried or preserved foods.
They have very keen hearing and sense of smell, able to scent things from up
to a mile off if the wind is right. They make excellent trackers due to
this.

Basic Personality
Militaristic at best, savage and war-like at worst, Rawulves are often
compared to Orcs when it comes to aggressiveness. Rawulves believe that
strength is the most important thing in life. They are not stupid however,
just uneducated and generally superstitious. Rawulves tend towards
neutrality, keeping away from ideas of good and evil and only worrying about
keeping themselves alive and their responsibility to their pack-mates. They
do tend to be more war-like, favoring strength over cunning. This doesn't
mean they are stupid, but they are straight forward in confrontation and
lean into militaristic if not outright aggression when threatened or when on
the move.

Origin and Lore
The rawulves history is buried and lost, but it's not forgotten. Passed
down from generation to generation, rawulves believe they are the
descendents of the great empire of Bauu. This empire was ruled by the family
of Ohmset and it is believed the continent of Thathoth was controlled
entirely by this empire many eons ago. Their creator blessed the first
Ohmset and his people with diversity; over 300 different kinds of rawulves
existed in the Bauu empire. Each Rawulf pack had a representative serve in
the congress of Bauu where matters were discussed in forum. While ferocity
runs in the blood of all rawulves, their desire to know and learn knew no
bounds. It is said the first ship was designed by Rawulf engineers and the
first navy of Tirradyn was constructed by Rawulf generals. It is said the
Ohmset clan sought to expand their reach beyond the lush and fertile
Thathoth lands. They took residence and claimed property in Samadnar, in
Elzeothis, and even in Ariandor. (see help Rawulf-history)

Society Structure
Rawulves live in Packs, usually around family and extended families. These
large packs have a hierarchy with an "Alpha" at the top. The Alphas job is
to care for the pack as a lead wolf does. Some packs even have multiple
Alphas. Below this are Shamans and Spiritualists who help to teach and guide
the pack. There are warriors and craftsmen as well, forming the bulk of
their society. Community means everything to a Rawulf, and one is always
expected to fulfill his or her role for the better of the pack. The worst
shame one can be given is to be cast out of the pack. Individuals who have
been cast out usually try to search for a new purpose for their life, either
a new pack to join or a new alpha to follow.
