Homebrew Fenri Species Details

   Tribes of fenri have made biomes on different parts of Aesimar their homes. There are agile, clever vulpen that have made homes in tundra, deserts, and woodlands, and proud, stocky inu that have thrived in forests, plains, and riverlands. The fenri tribes live for the good of their packs, are expert trackers, and live for the hunt.  They can be fiercely territorial.  Travelers should beware the signs of a pack of fenri, and bring tribute to traverse their lands safely.

Fenri and Humanity

   Some fenri have taken up a good life in civilization.  They have found a niche in upholding the law, as leatherworkers and craftsmen, and even as merchants.  Their excellent sense of smell gives them an edge in running down criminals, inspecting goods, and generations of hunters have mastered leatherwork.  They are respected and feared often in cities as much as they are in their native homelands.

Wilde Ways

   Tribes of fenri will fight vicious territorial wars over hunting grounds. Poachers on a pack's herd are shown no quarter. Their livelihood depends on the carefully manicured prosperity of their livestock. It is because of this culling of nature that often puts them at odds with firbolg, elves, and forest gnomes. 

Moons and worship

  In the core of their packs there is a holy man or shaman that tracks the phases of the moons. He is the arbiter of the Lunara Festival celebrated once every 28 years when both Celium and Gideon share the sky as full moons, and every 40 years during Alura when both moons are absent from the night sky.  The moons dictate much of their lives in the wild for harvest, war time, and omens.

Fenri Personality

   Vulpen tend to be pensive and cautious. They can be playful and carefree like any fenri, but compared to their gregarious cousins, the inu, they will weigh their words before spending them.  Juxtaposed to them, the inu are brazen and can be sharp of tongue. Their speech is often accented with low growls. This can either be a warning or just a fenri deep in thought.

Fenri Names

   Fenri names originate from the season, moons phase, and their pack. Many prefer to substitute a nickname to simplify their social interactions.
