The Western Shores Campaign
Felines
Feline - Religion
Feline religion is basically ancestor worship, honour, and survival of
the strongest/ most cunning. The Elven equivalent is Avatar Justice (not
a manifestation). Felines live in a matriarchal class/race based samurai
society. Any Feline mage will only study magic to do with war. The closest
they have to clerics are teachers of children, and they do not practice
magic. Felines never use magic to heal wounds, though they can use magic
to cure disease, as magic leaves no scars. Scars are honourable. Basic
Feline society is like a cross between the Rift War world of Terawan (Kelawan?)
and Kzin. The most likely Feline encountered on the Western Shores is a
Cheetah scout. Other Races/Classes- Lioness soldier. Lion warrior/bodyguard/consort.
Tigress warrior/ruler. Tiger warrior/assassin. Cheetah scout/messenger.
Panther scout/assassin. Felines have an oral tradition of recording great
heroes. Felines are born with no name, and must earn one. The longer the
name, the more honour. Any Felines encountered on the Western Shores will
most likely have a single word, one syllable name. Felines with no name
are refered to by their duties. Felines usually behave like Graka (in Space
Rangers).
