Homebrew Leonin (OG) Species Details

Dwelling in the rocky wilderness that surrounds Akros , are the Leonin , a species of towering, lion humanoids. Centuries Ago, the Reign of the tyrant Agnomakhos brought the leonin into a strictly ordered society, where they were forced to serve as the yrant's army. When Agnomakhos was killed in a revolt led by the future kings Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis, Leonin society experienced a backklash awawy from the culture that was imposed upon them- this Backlash included rejecting the gods of Theros. While a few Leonin still worship gods such as Heliod or Nylea, They are generally a culture without deities, relying on the strength of their pride-communities rather than on powers gifted by the gods.
