The Traveler's Guide to Aellorah
Lynoxi
The Lynoxi emerged into Aellorah in Arak, near Quen's Wellspring in southern Arak in the Great Divide. They resemble humanoid cats, and they come in multiple varieties – the Jaggri, the Pardi, and the Panteri. They are natural explorers, pathfinders, and sailors. The Pardi went to the frozen Esterburn Highlands and some regions of the Anduskian Grasslands, while the Panteri occupied the forests all around Arak. Meanwhile, the Jaggri migrated to the Yzerid Desert, taming the harsh environment that the Elves did not care for and claiming it as their own.
If ever you find yourself lost in the forest, there is a good chance there may be a Panteri nearby who can guide your way. They consider it a sacred duty to guide those who are lost. The Jaggri variety also enjoy sailing the seas, and are well-known for hunting pirates, or sometimes joining them.
They inherited the divine domains of Animal and Hunting, as well as one other domain depending on their subrace.
Pounce
Your powerful legs and nimble form give you the ability to pounce on your prey. As an action, you can leap up to 20 ft. towards a creature you can see and make a claw attack against them as part of the action. If the attack hits, the target must succeed on a contested Athletics check or be knocked prone. If you land a critical strike with this attack, you can pin down your target, restraining them. While pinning a target in this manner, they must succeed on a contested Athletics check to break free. You must have a hand free to make this attack. You can do this a number of times per long rest equal to your proficiency bonus.
Tracking Adept
Your keen sense of smell and predatory instincts make you an expert tracker. You have proficiency in Survival. Additionally, your sense of smell is so keen, that it allows you to detect creatures within 60 ft. of you. The further you are from them, the less accurate your perception of where they are. You are always passively aware of the presence of nearby creatures within range as long as they have a scent. As an action, you can attempt to narrow down a creature's location.
- At 60 ft., you can narrow their location to within 20 ft. of their actual location.
- Within 40 ft., you can narrow their location to within 10 ft.
- Within 20 ft., you can narrow their location to within 5 ft.
- When next to a creature within 5 ft. that is hidden or invisible, you can tell exactly where they are.
Claws
You can use your claws to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.
Subraces
The Lynoxi appear in the following racial variants:

Jaggri
Sleek and slender, Jaggri have golden-yellow fur covered in solid black spots. Their build is streamlined for speed, with long legs and a lithe body. Their eyes, usually amber or green, reflect a focused intensity, mirroring their swift nature.
Seafaring
Your body is highly adapted to aquatic environments and being on the open sea. You have a swim speed equal to your movement speed, and you can hold your breath for 10 minutes + an additional number of minutes equal to your Constitution modifier.

Panteri
Panteri Lynoxi feature smooth, black fur that seems to absorb light, making them nearly invisible in the dark. Their muscular form is built for power and stealth, with piercing yellow or gold eyes that stand out against their shadowy fur.
Woodland Whisperer
You are a friend to the critters of the forest and have the ability to cast 'Speak with Animals' without verbal or somatic components a number of times per long rest equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down).

Pardi
These Lynoxi boast thick, soft fur in shades of white and light gray, with distinctive black spots and tufted ears. Their large paws are well-adapted to moving across snowy landscapes, and bright blue or green eyes pierce through the winter's gloom.
Arctic Predator
You are well-adapted to surviving in harsh, cold environments. You have resistance to cold, and snow and ice are not difficult terrain for you. Additionally, you have advantage to Stealth checks in snowy environments. Due to your thick fur, you can survive in temperatures as low as -40°F without protection. However, you will quickly become overwhelmed in hot environments and must make Constitution saving throws depending on the temperature according to your DM to avoid incurring levels of Exhaustion.
