Tabaxi

The Tabaxi are a race of cat-people endemic to The Latazephyrium. Many of them live in the Marmar Thalassocracy, where they enjoy a position of relative privilege as the highest non-Gif caste.
The Tabaxi can be subdivided into into Lian (lion-people; the males wear bandanas to flatten their manes, as these are seen as sexual), Chesh (cheshire cats, known for their grins), Bura (black cats), stereotyped as bad/sneaky), Tian (short-haired) and other, smaller, ethnicities for any common cat breed.
