Aelurians

Aelurians possess the features of felines combined with the bodies and intellect of humans. Their bodies are covered in fur that varies dramatically in colour and length, with huge variance in shades and patterns. Some wives’ tales say that no two catfolk look alike. Their eyes are bright and vibrant, usually blue, green or yellow, and have slitted pupils. They have long tails, heads that appear feline, and digitigrade feet. They have builds and heights similar to humans, though they possess far superior senses and reflexes; they tend to live no longer than 30-40 years.
Aelurians have a reasonable innate talent for magic, roughly equal to humans, but they tend not to have the patience for arcane study.
Aelurians are very free-spirited, detesting cramped spaces or being tied down. They tend to form and break friendships and families quickly, travelling alone or in small groups whose members come and go to be replaced by others. Children reach maturity quickly, and they tend to leave their parents once they are a few years old, sometimes never to see them again. There are no defined Aelurian lands or tribes, since they prefer to wander freely. In Mirilarin, they live in the peninsula, travelling through the jungles and savannahs and trading with the other races; human prejudice usually keeps them from traveling further north.
Aelurians are sometimes called Catfolk by the uncouth.
