The Felis are an aloof people who value their strong connections to the world. Centuries ago the Felis were created alongside the human race and saw them as a part of their own species. Humans saw them as the same. Each valued the other species greatly, seeing their abilities as greater than own species' and formed a mutual deep appreciation. They have lived in harmony with humans since the dawn of their conjoined creation. Even with their deep appreciation for their feline capabilities they strive to innovate beyond their mortality and evolutionary limitations.

Lithe Hunters

The Felis are a humanoid race with feline features, sporting large catlike ears, fanged teeth and long tails. They have a highly tuned sense of smell and powerful legs, which have allowed them to become natural hunters. The Felis have two distinct ethnicities, the Sunlight Seekers and the Moonlight Keepers. The Sunlight Seeker's ears are wider with thicker fur, while the Moonlight Keeper's ears are longer and stylized, with shorter fur. Furthermore, the eyes of the Seekers have developed such that the pupils are tall and thin, to help guard their eyes from the exposure of the sun, while the Keepers' pupils have become large and rounded.

Of Suns and Moons

The Sunlight Seekers and Moonlight Keepers are two distinct ethnicities falling under the Felis. The Seekers tend to find themselves living in societies centered more around fighting or hunting. In contrast, the Keepers tend to live in more scholarly and calm areas centered more around invention and work. Many Felis were involved in the exploration and creation of the floating cities sat upon the sky islands dotting the skies of Dreymar.

Adventure Calls

Felis are found all over the world of Dreymar. Anywhere you can find a human you will most likely find a Felis not far away.The Felis tend to differ on their approach to life depending on their ethnicity. The Seekers of the Sun are bold individuals who are quick to jump into action, but also become bored easily. This natural need for excitement may call a Felis to action, leading them out into the world to explore.

Keepers are normally guarded and brooding, which may stall them from setting out on a journey, but when the need arises to protect family, friends or their home, a Keeper will stop at nothing to protect that which they cherish.

Felis Names

The Felis naming conventions are intricate, and vary between the Sunlight Seekers and the Moonlight Keepers, though both provide easy ways to decipher each individual's lineage. Names from either lineage are androgynous.

Most Sunlight Seeker names have simple, one or two syllable names, and make heavy use of apostrophes and aitches ("h"s). The extra H's seen in names such as "Bhee," "Kuzh," and "Pahsh" represent a slight hissing/spitting sound that is made when the name is pronounced by the cat-like Felis. Many of the other races in Dreymar cannot accurately reproduce this sound, so the H's end up going silent when read (Bee, Kooz, Pash).

Moonlight Keeper names forgo the more frequent use of apostrophes and aitches ("h"'s), and thus are more comfortable with longer, more intricate names. Although, some may choose to keep the short and simple nature of their sibling lineage, while still forgoing the apostrophes.
