Homebrew felis Species Details
The Sunrock Clans
Once the Felis came into existence the original elders of each clan decided that they needed a land they could all call home. After sending out adventurers to seek a new home, a Short-hair, named Max, found the Great Sunrocks. These massive rocks soak up sunlight and retain the heat even throughout the nights and winters. Sunning on these boulders is a common trait that all Felis love.
Venturing to Sunrock Village to receive a piece of the Sunrock is an honor all Felis seek to earn. 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.
Clan Hierarchy
The Felis clans are overseen by a clan who is elected by the clan as a whole. The elder doesn't have to be elderly to achieve the title, but those who take the mantle young are seen as inexperienced. Usually the clan elder resides in Sunrock Village to coordinate with other clans.
Ranked below the Elders, in name only, are the clan mothers. Clan mothers are those who manage the clans home affairs, organize quests, determine occupations, and just about everything else. While elders are elected, clan mothers will choose a child from the litter and tutor them personally. After the clan mother passes the chosen child will take up the role.
Curious Explorers
All Felis share a love of exploring- their curiosity of the world is what drives them onward. They are constantly looking for new technologies, spells, and rare legendary items to further their clan's honor. Felis are strong dexterous race only stopped by their own shortcomings.
Felis names
Felis are given names by their clan mother. A clan mother often determines the name by divining the future of a kitten. if the future tells of the child doing great deeds a heroic name is chosen, if not, a standard house name is chosen.
