Felis are often underestimated due to their short stature and cuddly demeanor. Felis come in all shapes and colors. They can grow to be up to 3 ft tall and often vary in their weight due to differing habits. Felis range from the fiery gingers to the cool, calculating cerulean blues. The sub species of Felis all have their own quirks, but as a species they are known as intelligent and gifted adventurers.

Each breed of Felis has their own Clan of which they are extremely proud. This often leads to scuffles and contests for pride of oneself and of Clan. There has always been a healthy rivalry among the different breeds of Felis. Some rivalries end in brawls and others end with shame and loss of respect. Often, individuals will be challenged to single combat for their honor, and on the rarest of occasions, the honor of an entire clan.

Felis live up to 135 years of age. It is whispered that they possess nine lives and, by some forgotten curse, they burn through each life every 15 years. This has led many Felis adventurers to set out on a quest to seek an end to their curse and restore the race's full life span. With their cursed nine lives the Felis travel alone with an eagerness to get the most from life which drives them to move through it rarely forming strong attachments to the many non-Felis with which they become acquainted. Felis live their lives with a strong sense of magic. Most Felis are able to sniff the wizard in a room full of grey bearded, pointy hat wearing men. Other races often construe the Felis' innate magic sense to their origins as Wizard's familiars, used as conduits of magical energy to aid in spellcasting.

When the original Felis Elders formed their various clans, they decided the race as a whole needed a suitable land they could call home. Each of the Elders sent out at least one adventurer to seek such a home, and the mighty Shorthair named Max was the one to find the Great Sunrocks. These massive stone forma- tions soak up and retain the Sun's heat to a remarka- ble degree, remaining warm to the touch day or night, even in Winter. Sleeping or meditating on these rocks is a great comfort to all Felis who have the opportunity to partake of it.

Since there is only so much living space in Sunrock Village, the right or an invitation to visit, much less live permanently, with the Elders who reside there must be earned. Each clan is overseen by an Elder who resides in Sunrock village. These Elders have the last say in conflicts between clans and the species in general, but events hardly get that far.
