Lyran*
They think they are better. They act as if we are nothing but mutts under their paws. As if we would bow that low. They can sit like the pretty fat cats they are till we suck the marrow from their bones and feast on the plump feast they would make.
Priding themselves in their traditions, their guerilla warfare tactics, and prideful ways. Though they have been tempered over the years there is still the pride they feel for their people and their ways. Lyrans are a feline humanoid race with digitigrade legs and tails, elevated by the Eidolon Alena and given the life she willed for them. Agile and quick while still powerful but even then they were still put under the heel of the Humans.

History
When the Lyrans came into existence in Eiria; they were united under one leader, Frirnsoll. For most of his reign, it was peaceful, it was at the end of his reign when the Lycans began to move into their lands. For a few years it quiet, a few small disputes that were easy to stop. When his son, Thruzlern, took over the pride the tension between the two beasts races met with full force. Called the Great Beast War, it was a long and bloody conflict. It is unsure as to which side started the bloodshed, but the alpha of the Lycans, Zdeněk, often said he did it and was proud to have started the war.
The Great Beast War raged for years, till the death of both leaders at each other’s hands. A treaty was drawn up between the two beast races and a border line established. The Lyrans took the lands in the north and the Lycans took the lands to the south. In the buffer zone, there is a little bit of mixing of the two races.The Lyrans established a pride setting, one king and a small court of advisers.
It was harder for the Empire to control the Lyrans as they did their brothers the Lycans, but they fell to their knees in many battles from the sheer size of the army of the Empire. When the revolt happened the Lyrans inform the Empire they could go down on their knee and swear fealty to the Drassi Empire. After the fall of the empire, they lay and wait for the treaty to be broken by the Lycans.
