Rakasta
Rakasta
Rakasta are a race of nomadic feline humanoids found on the XXX and in other parts of the Marwang. They are a warlike race, priding themselves on their martial skills. They are also known for their artistic nature, with their pottery and art being quite collectible among the nobles of various human kingdoms. Most rakasta travel in family groups, always looking for new prey. Except for greater rakasta, they place a high value on their families.
Lithe and Agile
Rakasta are as varied as lupin, but all rakasta share an almost unnatural grace. They are varied in size, from around 5 feet for the domestic rakasta to nearly 7 feet tall for the greater rakasta. Likewise, their weight can be anywhere from 90 lbs for the smaller versions, to almost 500 lbs for the largest greater rakasta.
Rakasta appear as furry humanoids with feline heads. The smaller rakasta seem to have heads of ordinary house cats, where the largest of rakasta have heads resembling lions or tigers. Their coats can be any variety of colors, though the greater rakasta often have coats similar to tigers or leopards.
Fickle Creatures
Rakasta travel in family groups usually. They are not tied down to the family group but owe allegiance to their chief. Many of the rakasta seek glory on the battlefield, but if their chief does not provide them with enough glory, they will challenge the chief or seek it for themselves.
Rakasta are known for their excellent craftsmanship; when they are not at war, they turn to making high-quality works of art. Many merchants seek them out for trade, bringing weapons in exchange for valuable furs, jewelry, and tapestries. Rakasta prefer to trade rather than steal; there is no honor for them in robbery.
Highly Curious
Rakasta are well known for their curiosity, and its ability to lead them into trouble. Many rakasta grow tired of the pack life and seek out friends to take them to more exciting places. While many rakasta return, some become devoted to adventuring and never settle down at all.
