Homebrew Lionfolk 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. This demeanor stems from a culture they adopted while living on Krata. They placed loyalty to their leaders and perfection of skill above all else. In time, this created a society of warriors who valued honor, courage, and might in battle above all else. This has bled into their identity today.
The ethical and moral norms lionfolk place on themselves can vary between each lionfolk; 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, lionfolk 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 offense.
