Tabaxi
Tabaxi are a cat-like race of mortals, found on Apa Axas. Fleet of foot, fine of fur and fierce of fury, the Tabaxi hunt in the ancient and lush rainforests of D'Rert, the Savage Kingdom, close to the centre of Apa Axas. The Taxabi are a feline race who travel in nomadic prides, a cultural trait stemming from the Tabaxi need to outpace their most ancient of enemies, the Orc. This D’rert Empire of Sangroke Bliss' prodigal children have hunted the Tabaxi nearly to extinction, rendering them rare in their homeland, and even rarer outside of D’rert. Only the stealthiest, or fastest of the clans survive, with some relying on one of the Tabaxi race’s most mysterious creation, the infamous Warrior of Shadow martial art.
Civilization and Culture
Culture and Cultural Heritage
The Tabaxi have proven themselves as adaptable as the Humans, changing form slightly depending on the Kingdom they had been born into: If a kitten was to be born in Regigalis, it would gain a large crest like mane, similar to a lion, being known as a Prideland Tabaxi, while a Kthombru born kitten might bear the form of a housecat, lithe and stealthy, mixed with elegance and charm, known as a Jinx Tabaxi. The Cleffen-born Tabaxi resemble gaunt jaguar, being known as Onca Tabaxi while the Tabaxi born on The Putric Isles are born with long lynx-like ears, being known as Bobabo Tabaxi. Uniquely, the Tabaxi of D'Rert grow muscular, and resemble tigers, being known as Rigersra Tabaxi, the Tabaxi of Gilunrik bear sabre fangs and are known as Smilodus Tabaxi, and the Murkys Tabaxi, known as Dolpo Tabaxi are translucent and almost wraith-like, while resembling Snow Leopards. While their forms may be based on their birth location, the colouration will be a mixture of the parents regardless of location, leading to most Tabaxi baring very unique colouration and patterns. Outside of D’Rert, the Tabaxi usually for merchant caravans and fleets that attempt to traverse the savage seas to peddle their wares. Unlike most other felines, they are very at home on the ocean, and many Tabaxi help crew pirate and merchant ships with other races. In addition, many Tabaxi are gifted dancers, using their cat-like dexterity to perform graceful and elaborate movements, and, as a result, they created the College of Dance.
History
Much like the Humans, Halflings and Gnomes, Tabaxi are said to be descended from The Vida Quda's Most-Favoured, with one vital difference. They were created instead by Gloom Mona, who created the feline folk as an answer to the Vida Quda’s Great Endeavour, as she believes cats, with their agility and hardiness, combined with the mind of a sentient being would prove to be the most adaptable creature. They were formed by seizing control of a tribe of the Vida Quda’s Most-Favoured who ventured too far South and infusing them with Gloom Mona’s beautiful darkness and infinite love, transforming them into the Tabaxi.
