Homeland


Goldpaw Marsh


Culture

Around Varlonan, these are the typical aspects of this race's lifestyle preferences.

Weapons: Natural, typically their claws. They are very able and willing to use other weapons, but find that their claws are often the most handy.

Armor: They don't usually like full bodied armor, but will wear pieces here and there.

Currency: Gold and trade.

Diet: Omnivore, though they do typically prefer meat over anything else.

Attire: Little to nothing. They will adhere to other customs for attire, but when among their own kind, there is simply little need for attire that isn't for just statement purposes.

Environment: Plains, forests, mountains.

Relationships

Partners: The Fera actually range from partnering for life, to never settling down. It often depends on what sect of Fera they derive from, but you will find that the majority of them are out for fun more than a lifelong commitment.

Friends: There isn't much issue in their community regarding jealousy or pride. They make friends and enemies at just about the same rate. When friends with someone, they'll typically do their best to push their own culture on them in an attempt to make that person more fun or effective to their surroundings.

Foe: The only time the Fera will usually make enemies is when they get too pushy on their beliefs. They are strong, quick, and intelligent so at times they feel that their own culture might be a step above other's cultures... but they don't feel overly strong about this; they merely want to 'aid' others in seeing how they do.

Children: The children of Fera are looked after by all Fera usually when the immediate parent isn't available. They'll bond with the young Fera and protect them against any threats that may come along. The young usually stick close to their parents most of the time. Many males however are aggressive toward other males of a pride because they want to put themselves as the most available bachelor for the pride females. It's rumored that a male will go as far as to kill the young of a female that mated with a different male!

Territory: Their territory usually is built up to hold several Fera within it, and they'll work out a plan for each person to properly benefit or guard the territory equally.

History

Perhaps one of the few races to have a very simple history, the Fera simply evolved from their primal feline ancestors. They grew stronger, smarter, and eventually became bipedal in the need for better hunting options. Soon, they acquired the capabilities for speech, and then the magic for shifting. They live life simple and mostly by instinct, though there are many groups over the years that built massive prides and cities for their people in a hope to have dominance over any that opposed their ways. Fera come in various forms, some are lone wanderers, and others stick close to a pride they were born into or won dominance for. They don't typically wander far from their homeland since it provides the most protection and hunting grounds for them. You'll only see a pride move away from its territory when it has lost a turf war with another pride, or resources become too limited to sustain their people.
