==Description==
FelinaeWings are a small catlike tribe, and they look like dragons from the Felinae Subfamily. FelinaeWings have fur coats that are typically brown or gray, but they also usually have spots or stripes that are black or white. Additionally, FelinaeWings are not immune to color mutations. Piebaldism, melanism, and leucism are things that aren’t too uncommon to see in FelinaeWings.
For more detail, the FelinaeWings also have two black horns shooting out of the top of their skulls. Behind those are the ears, either round or pointed. Their eyes are typically yellow, but blue, brown, or green eyes can happen too. Some dragons will get contacts of unnatural colors to change their eye colors, and it is typically done with the colors of their chosen god.
FelinaeWings have smaller wings than other tribes. They don't always function correctly, and some dragons can't fly because of this. Instead, dragons may wear jewelry on their wings or keep their wings closed all the time.
Unlike the cats they look so much like, FelinaeWings do not have whiskers. The tribe also lacks an "average" body type, as the FelinaeWings are an incredibly diverse tribe.
===Saberteeth===
Saberteeth is one of the most common mutations in FelinaeWings. Kits are born with longer than usual canine teeth, to the point where they stick out of the dragon’s mouth. There are common misconceptions that all FelinaeWings have saberteeth, due to how common the mutation is. Additionally, the current FelinaeWing Midday, Midday Sunspot, has saberteeth.
==Abilities==
FelinaeWings are typically very agile. They also have sensitive hearing and sight.
===Retractable Claws===
FelinaeWings have retractable claws, like the animals they take after. They function the exact same as they do on real cats.
===Animalspeak===
There are rumors of FelinaeWings who can not just somewhat understand cats, but can communicate with almost all animals. This isn't some skill that is learned, and while there are some FelinaeWings who have learned, Animalspeak FelinaeWings are born with it. This ability is a gift from the gods themselves, and it is impossible to enchant someone or something to have it on the level that these FelinaeWings do.
==Territory==
The FelinaeWing territory is very different, depending on the part you are in. In the northern part, there are many old growth forests and some mountains. In the central part, the land is somewhat forested, and the trees are temperate. The southern part are plains, run through with smaller rivers. It gets horribly humid down there during summer.
===Leo=== 
The base of the Lion Assembly's operations, and to a point
==Beliefs==
The FelinaeWing Religion is what the tribe is most known for. The dedication the tribe exhibits to their gods is something not seen in any other tribes,
===The FelinaeWing Pantheon ===
Lion - Lion is the god of fire, the sun, anger, and war. He is typically regarded as a dangerous god, as his irritability causes him to act out. This is why it was assumed that Lion killed those dragons outside during The First Eclipse, as no other god would do something so irrational.
Tiger - Tiger is the goddess of water, the rivers, love, and flexibility. She's Lion's polar opposite, and the two are in an eternal battle. Tiger is Leopard's wife.
Jaguar - Jaguar is the goddess of magic, the dark, happiness, and mystery. She's best friends with Clouded Leopard.
Leopard - Leopard is the goddess of plants, the earth, growth, and fertility. She's Tiger's wife.
Snow Leopard - Snow Leopard is the god of snow, the moon, bitterness, and revenge. While not polar opposites, Snow Leopard and Lion also have a strong dislike for each other.
Clouded Leopard - Clouded Leopard is the deity of weather, the sky, happiness, and continuing. They also watch over the Forest of Spirits, and are the afterlife god.
===Creation===
In the beginning, there were the 6 gods. They created the land, and then the water, and then plants.
===The First Eclipse===
The First Eclipse is an event that is infamous to the FelinaeWings. The moons had hidden the sun, and most dragons fled inside in fear of what was happening. However, some dragons stayed outside for the hour the sun was hidden. After the event, when the FelinaeWings emerged from inside, they discovered that the dragons who had been outside had been slain. When they searched for a perpetrator, they found nothing. They had concluded that Lion had killed them all for being outside. From that day on, all FelinaeWings promised to never go outside during a solar eclipse again.
===Afterlife and Ghosts===
The FelinaeWing afterlife, or the Forest of Spirits, is a large mountainous region believed to be above the clouds, and it is said that when you see a very tall cloud, that's the Forests of Spirits passing by. When FelinaeWings die, they usually go to this forest. Because of this, its important that a dragon dies on a cloudy day, so they may reach it easily. Unfortunately, their spirits often bleed where they were wounded in life, and some dragons can be barely seen through the blood.
Ghosts are dragons who never found their way to the Forest. It's typically assumed they died on a clear day, but if a dragon has done enough evil, they will be barred entrance to the forest. They still appear like spirits, with all the bleeding, but they can only be seen at twilight, sobbing and asking other dragons to help them find their way to the Forest.
===Manes===
Once, it was believed that FelinaeWings had manes. It was Lion's favorite trait about himself, so he'd thought he'd give the FelinaeWings the same trait. Unfortunately, FelinaeWings started comparing their manes, until there was one dragon, Fireball, who said he had the best mane, and that it was even better than Lion's. This had enraged Lion, how dare a dragon claim they're better than a god? Lion then challenged Fireball to a duel - the one who wins would be the one with the best mane. Fireball agreed, and the two fought. There's not many details, but Lion won. Lion had the best mane of all, but he realized something. If the FelinaeWings continued to have manes, then they would keep saying their manes were better than his! This cannot happen, he thought, so he decided to take away all of the manes of FelinaeWings.
===Mother===
There once was a FelinaeWing
===The Wolf and The Deerthis story is not supposed to be good. ===
A classic FelinaeWing fairy tale, teaching kits how important their gods are. Subject of numerous debates, like "should we really be teaching kits to murder in the name of the gods?" and "are we teaching our kits to hate those from other tribes who don't believe in gods?" This is also widely regarded as a cautionary tale, as to never truly trust those you're closest with.
There once were two creatures, the wolf and the deer. The wolf followed Lion, and she was a very good worshiper of him. The deer however, was a heretic. He renounced all the gods, for if they actually cared, why would they have given him such a hard life? Despite their religious differences, the wolf and the deer loved each other very very much. They spent almost every waking moment together, and they knew each other very well. They swore to be together in this life, and to find each other again in what ever happens next.
Until one day, Lion spoke to the wolf. Lion described how the deer was a heretic, and how it was bad someone as good as her would love someone so... sinful. Lion then told the wolf how she could make up for loving a heretic; killing the deer and bringing him the deer's antlers. The wolf was distraught at this information, but she accepted her task. So one night, when the deer went into the forest to retrieve food for the two of them, the wolf ambushed him. The deer was shocked, at how someone he knew so well would do something like this. It was a short battle, ending with a bite to the deer's heart.
The wolf grieved for three days, then went back to the deer's body. She removed his antlers with a heavy heart, then returned to her home to offer them to Lion. Lion commended her dedication, and gifted her with never ending food and warmth. However, she fell into a deep depression afterwards. Stories say she never died, and is still wandering the earth. On particularly cold nights during the winters, it's rumored that any howls you hear are the wolf, mourning her lost love.courage and sunspot i love you so much💞💞💞💖💖💖💖💘💘💘💘💝💝💝💝💌💌💌💌😍😍😍😍😍
==Culture==
FelinaeWing culture relies heavily upon their gods and mythology. Additionally, due to their shorter lifespans, FelinaeWings prize time a lot, as a fleeting thing to make the most of.
===Architecture===
Commonly-used FelinaeWing architecture is very asymmetrical and natural. Oftentimes, it seems like they just hollowed out a rock and made it a building. The FelinaeWings feel that nature made these things that way, then there's no reason to change it. However, when there's going to be a festival or a royal from another tribe comes to visit, the "fancy" architecture is very sharp and blocky.

===Traditions===
Choosing a God - When dragons become 5 years old, they must choose a god to follow. After choosing, they typically rename themselves to fit the theming of their god, however this does not go for all dragons. The dragon's loved ones and friends attend a party for them, and gifts relating to the chosen god are often given.
Weddings - While love is not the most important thing to the FelinaeWings, it is still somewhat prioritized.
Funerals - Usually, funerals are held a week after someone dies, and the deceased are buried as soon as possible. Headstones are decorated with the dragon's chosen god, and if, gods forbid, a kit passed before they were able to choose, their headstone would be decorated with all the gods.
===Jaguar Magic===
Since Jaguar is the goddess of Magic, her followers are able to practice magic. While dragons who follow other gods can attempt, its strongest with Jaguar's followers.
There is no set way to perform magic, and if dragons wish to do some, they must figure it out on their own. Additionally, magic cannot be used under any circumstances to hurt others.
===Clothing===
FelinaeWing clothing is quite varied. Like everything else, it relies heavily upon their religion. As kits, FelinaeWings typically dress in browns and yellows, if they wear anything at all.
Lion followers will wear lots of metals and animal pelts, along with bright red fabrics. Tiger followers will wear silver earrings and bands, along with long blue fabrics. Leopard followers will wear items fashioned of wood and shawls of green fabric. Jaguar followers wear purple cloaks with jewelry made of black rocks. Snow Leopard followers wear large white coats made of animal pelts in their winter colors, and they also will wear jewelry made of diamonds. Clouded Leopard followers wear large grey capes and jewelry made of bronze.
===Holidays===
First Rain - First Rain, as the name suggests, is the first rain of the year. Tiger and Clouded Leopard followers celebrate this event by holding massive festivals outdoors and dancing. Commonly, lots of fish and fruits are eaten.
First Snow - The first snow of the year is when the Snow and Clouded Leopard followers come together and celebrate, y'know, the first snow. Also, the first snow is seen as the arriving of winter, and Jaguar followers start saying their goodbyes to the heightened magic.
Summer Solstice - The Summer Solstice is the FelinaeWing new year, where they celebrate the year to come. On the day before, they remember those who didn't make it through the year, and those who have reflect on what they did. Additionally, those aligned with Lion celebrate him bringing warmth and the new season.
Winter Solstice - The Winter Solstice is halfway through the year, and FelinaeWings take this day to evaluate everything they've done this year, and what they are going to do next. Additionally, those aligned with Snow Leopard celebrate the cold.
Spring Equinox - Celebrated by the Leopard followers, they welcome the rebirth of everything, and all the animals returning.
Autumn Equinox - Celebrated by the Jaguar followers, its a festival welcoming the days becoming darker, and heightened magic coming.
===Naming===
For the first five years of their lives, FelinaeWings have... uninteresting names. They usually are a combination of a body part (ex, claw, teeth, fang, horn, ear) and a violent action, (ex. kill, slay, attack, hurt). Before their 5th birthday, FelinaeWings choose their new names, which either have something to do with their gods, or something to do with an event in their life. For example, Midday Sunspot and Afternoon Haze named themselves after things that are sun and fire related as Lion is their god, while Getaway chose their name because they were able to get away from their horrible situation.
===Zodiac ===
There are 12 FelinaeWing Zodiacs, three for each season. While not the most important factor, sometimes a FelinaeWing's zodiac sign may help them choose their god to follow.

==History==
===Scorching===
Like all other dragon tribes, the FelinaeWings originated from dragons. Over time, they have come to believe that they were created by the gods and have forgotten their true origins. Any knowledge from this time is lost, as the FelinaeWings had started recording their history in 1000 AS.
===The Decision to Write (2004 AS / 0 ADW) ===
The FelinaeWings were having issues with recalling events that had happened, as different dragons would tell events very differently and with heavy biases. The queen of the FelinaeWings then, Queen Starfall, had enough of the difficulties and decided to create a language and appoint scholars to her court, to detail every event. Unfortunately, any history BDW (before the Decision to Write) has been lost, as a non-biased perspective could not be found.
===The FelinaeWing-SkyWing War (2106 AS / 102 ADW)===
Queen Rigid of the SkyWings had attacked Jaguar's Spots, a small FelinaeWing village on the edge of the FelinaeWing Queendom, for seemingly no reason. This had enraged Queen Shade, who then proceeded to launch an attack on Rigid's palace. The attack was violent, and the palace was almost decimated by the time they were done. Additionally, Shade took Rigid prisoner. These actions caused much rage on both sides. The Felinae-Sky war was short, only lasting three months, but in those three months large swaths of each tribe's territory was destroyed, and Rigid was murdered, violently. The queendom became a mess afterwards.
===The Revolution (2110 - 2123 AS / 106 - 119 ADW)===
After the Felinae-Sky war, civil unrest was growing. Queen Shade's actions during the war had caused problems, and after the war, she did even worse. She neglected her queendom, still mostly destroyed after the war, in favor of eating huge feasts with nobles and playing useless games. The queendom fell into more and more ruin, until 12 dragons realized Queen Shade needed to be overthrown. Their names have been lost to time, but we do know that two dragons followed each god. These dragons started the assembly system, with the assemblies starting out as small militaries used to fight the Queen. After the 13 long years of fighting, the leader of the Lion Assembly eventually drove the killing blow to Queen Shade.
===The New FelinaeWing State (2124 AS / 120 ADW)===
After Shade was killed, the assemblies came together to try to make something out of their broken queendom. It was decided the assemblies were to become the government.
===The Violent Divide(3328 - 3335 AS / ADW)===
There were disagreements between assemblies about who the tribe should ally with. The Lion, Snow Leopard, and Jaguar assemblies wanted to ally with the IceWings, MudWings, and SkyWings as the Tiger, Leopard, and Clouded Leopard assemblies wanted to ally with the SandWings, SeaWings, and RainWings. This debate about alliances took a long time, and eventually, the tension got so bad war broke out. In 3330, the assemblies proceeded to ally with the tribes of choice. For a while, they fought, and in 3333, the MudWing queen was assassinated. The war ended soon after that, with the Uncia Mountain Treaty being signed. The treaty decided on the FelinaeWing Alliances, those tribes chosen to be the MudWings, SkyWings, SeaWings, and SandWings, and also the FelinaeWings had to trade with the MudWings often as reparations.
===The Indigo War (3998-4002 AS / ADW)===
Certain FelinaeWings were beginning to find tradition difficult, and they felt "locked in" when they had to choose a god. Due to this, a dragon who named themself Between started the Indigo Assembly, an assembly of dragons that never chose a god. The other assemblies found this extremely disrespectful, as the assemblies were formed with the intent of defeating the queen during the Revolution.
*There was a dislike with certain kittywings that htey had to choose a god
*so they became the indigo assembly, a sector of dragons who did not choose a god
* the other assemblies were OUTRAGED!!
*dw this was just a tribe war. no one else got involved
*but like. they eventually got the indigo assembly out and exiled to a random island in nowhere
*chekovs random island in nowhere
===SandWing Succession (AS / ADW)===
The FelinaeWings chose to stay out of the war, as they had been in wars before, and did not want another round of the Violent Divide happening.
== Government & Society==
The FelinaeWing society is very relaxed, mostly. The assemblies are assigned to take care of resources and political problems, leaving most dragons to do what they wish.
=== Assemblies===
While each dragon chooses a god to follow, assemblies are optional to join. Assemblies function as a sort of government, where only certain dragons can join after going through a program in school. There are five assemblies, one for each deity. The Lion and Tiger assemblies are the assemblies with the most power. The other assemblies can choose to ally with one of the two main assemblies, or just stay out of it.
Lion Assembly - The Lion Assembly is the main body of government, and the assembly with the most power. They primarily handle relationships with other tribes, but they also partially manage the army. They have the most positions out of all other assemblies, those being Sunrise, Morning, Midday, Afternoon, and Sunset.
Tiger Assembly - This assembly has less power than the Lion Assembly, but still a good amount. They typically handle the food supply (of meat, at least) and tourism. They have three positions, Trickling, Babbling, and Rushing.

Leopard Assembly -
Snow Leopard Assembly -

==Tribal Relations==
The FelinaeWings are wary of other tribes, as they don’t want to be dragged into unnecessary conflict (they’ve had enough of that). In Midday Sunspot’s current rule, she’s trying to make the FelinaeWings branch out more, so most major cities have a FelinaeWing embassy.

The FelinaeWings look down upon the NightWings. They consider the tribe cowards for running from the continent after Darkstalker, faking the Dragonet Prophecy, and kidnapping RainWings for some pathetic experiments.

With the Felinae-Sky war being almost lost to time, the FelinaeWings have a neutral, positive leaning relationship with the SkyWings. They trade very often, and it is quite likely that if one queendom was to be harmed, then the other queendom's economy would be severely injured.
