Homebrew Ailuridaen Race Details
The Ailuridaen live in millions of different clans, with three major and ruling clans, The Scribes of the Silver Fir, The Cedar Shamans, and The People of the Bamboo. They resemble the great Red Panda of Fey, Ailuridae, with their fiery red fur, white markings, ears, and fluffy tails, their hard to mistake. Ailuridaens have a strong love of art, literature, and craft, and will almost always spend their entire life perfecting their trade. Most Ailuridaen works are never seen by outsiders, instead they are kept by the scribes to be preserved, and looked upon by future generations. Ailuridaen cubs begin training in their trade as soon as they are able to climb. Nature is a central part of Ailuridaen lives, no matter their trade or tribe. Each clan lives in a different forest of the great Himalìan Mountains, with individual homes, and fortresses shaped from giant trees grown for them by Ailuridae. Most Ailuridaens are content with this life, though it is not unheard of for one to strive for something more.
