Ka'krish

==OVERVIEW==
The Ka'krish are a special type of Morrim, who are capable of communicating with and befriending the great Wildcats which make their home in the Morrim heights. This ability is not magical, and is an empathic skill; the Ka'krish (Cat-Talkers) are familiar with the various cat sounds, gestures and actions, and can 'talk' to them, and gain their trust. A Ka'krish often goes off into the wild to befriend such beasts, and a mature cat-talker can often have a pride of these cats, numbering up to 10. The Ka'krish use their wildcats in battle, and many even use them as steeds. The wildcats accompany the tribe on hunts, and help to stalk and kill prey. The Ka'krish are few in number, often no more than two or three to a tribe, and are essential to the Chief- they are automatically elevated to Ki'la'mi status. It is a Ka'krish's task to train the next generation of Cat-talkers, and they often teach the skills to their sons (a Ka'krish is never short of potential mates, and many have children by several different women).
A variant of the Ka'krish are the Ka'Lupsha, the Wolf-talkers. These warriors, even rarer, are specialized in communicating with Wolves, by howls and snarls. A good wolf-talker can, eventually, achieve wolf-dreams, and share the collective thoughts of his pack. The Ka'Lupsha are even more esteemed than the Ka'krish, and many are more venerated than a chief. For this reason, occasionally, a chief will banish the Ka'Lupsha, who is forced to live in the wild amongst his pack.
