:: FELAIN :: The felain are a race of cat-people from the deep jungles and forests. They excel at the arts of stealth, and are well-known for their skills. They make very good scouts and are often sought out by rulers for their espionage capabilities. Personality: The felain are generally very curious, having very short attention spans. They are cautious without being overly careful. They are a bit stand-offish to members of other races, but make lasting and enduring friends in the end. Physical Description: The felain have the facial features of a cat, though they walk upright like a human being. They generally stand between 5' and 5'6" and weigh between 90 and 120 pounds. Female felain are noticably shorter. They live to be about 60 years old.

Relations: The felain's true brothers are the humans. With similar lifespans, and the diversity of the felain culture, human beings seem to mix very well with the felain. The felain get along well with elves, though the difference in life-span makes relations troublesome on occasion. The little people do not usually get along with the felain. Half-elves are accepted and welcomed by the felain, however, half-orcs are all but unknown to the felain society.

Alignment: Felain tend to be neutral in the moral spectrum, though this is hardly a strict guideline. Some felain are lawful, though they tend more towards the chaotic side of the alignment spectrum.

Felain Lands: The felain live in tree-top kingdoms, often in deep jungle and rainforest. Many felain never see the ground in their lives. Felain communities are large, with a sort of functional anarchy of a government. Their leaders change regularly, and the militia protects the people of their cities.

Religion: Felain are interesting in that they worship no gods. Their religion focuses on the worship of nature as a force. Thus, felain religious leaders are all druids.

Language: The felain speak Felain, which is a general mixture between elven and sylvan, using the elven alphabet.

Names: The felain name their children in two parts, seperated by an apostraphe. The father chooses the first part, and the mother chooses the second. They also give their clan affiliation as a part of their name.

Male Names: Dvoul, Jorrin, Kthar, Opperan, Tolar, Cavel

Female Names: Fael, Hyla, Jessna, Taania, Waena

Family Names: Einasha, Jorian, Kuveldesh, Queria

Adventures: Felain adventure for many reasons, though simple curiosity and wanderlust are probably the most common. Felain are proud of their stealth skills and take any opportunity to practice.
