Salewan

The Salewan race are a small race of humanoids with cat features native to the Abexilan continent, from a lost archipelago that sunk. Their main characteristics are cat tails and ears, as well as being very short and being mostly dark skinned. The coloration of the tails, ears and hair are linked to the known colors of the domestic cat. This race is prone to having brawls with each other and ending it without any grudges as soon as one accepts the other as the winner, almost like a catfight. They are also very social people, with cheerful personalities and always wearing colorful attires.

The Salewans have a society with very strong maritime and mercantilist aspects. They are also very industrious and know how to sail the oceans with accuracy. Historically, they have been known to take on occupations such as piracy, skullduggery, mercenary work and anything sailing related. Due to this, they prefer to take what they need from other civilizations rather than work on it themselves.
The Salewans have nobility and citizen classes, but most of the nobility was lost when their original archipelago sunk under the ocean. Therefore, most of the remaining ruling class achieved their status through raiding, pillaging or trading across the sea.
They have developed unique fighting styles along the years. The three main ones are: the Ishn an-Naville, a ceremonious style with one sabre/staff; the Ishn an-Havo, dual wielding sabres; or the Ishn an-Sochal, with one sabre and one crossbow, or, very rarely, a flintlock gun.
In terms of reproduction with other species, there have been rare accounts of Salewans marrying Rei Taan or humans. With the first, the characteristics of the offspring seem to be random, while the second can either end up with Salewan characteristics, or just human characteristics.
