Homebrew Lion Folk Species Details

Lionfolk live by strong ethical and moral codes, placing the needs and lives of others over their own. Though their adherence to their ways can make them rigid and arrogant, they are, at best, honest and forthright. They placed loyalty to their leaders and perfection of skill above all else. In time, this created a society of warriors who valued honour, courage, and might in battle above all else. This has bled into their identity today. Often you will find Lionfolk as Nomads or Sell Swords.
The ethical and moral norms lion folk place on themselves can vary between each lion folk; no two are the same. However, their interpretation of any norm, no matter how few or minor, is strict, maybe even rigid. In most case, lion folk will adopt the rules of their job or career, holding to all rules with almost ironclad devotion. This can create a penchant for fanaticism or even an inflexible interpretation of the law. From a moral perspective, they will often hold to certain acts as incongruous to their ways or opposite to what they believe, they will avoid it completely, even going so far as to report those who commit even a minor offence.
