Tabaxi
Quick, curious and wild the tabaxi are referred to as "cat folk" by many as they are often mistrusted by society as a whole with people not quite knowing many of their intentions. This pushes them to wander the lands or stick to the underbelly of society to survive the harsh world. Tabaxi stand at 6 to 7 feet with slender and feline bodies covered in fur, the color and patterns varying from tabaxi to tabaxi. Their eyes are slit pupiled often either green or yellow. Their hands and feet end with retractable claws strong enough to let them easily scale cliffs or city walls.
A wanderlust is nurtured within many tabaxi communities, partly from humans not allowing them within their cities at all, or near their cities for long and a burning curiosity from their feline side tabaxies often find themselves on the road. They most often travel in caravans with half-elves and other tabaxi, the two races having formed strong bonds over being forced into a nomadic lifestyle. A caravan usually consists of 10 to 16 members along with a few warriors to keep the monsters at bay, the members of a caravan can be entertainers, smugglers, thieves, and even sometimes assassins, they do not discriminate as long as you don't bring trouble back to the caravan. Tabaxi have an obsession with stories and magical artifacts, often searching all over the lands for them. Loosing interest in them as soon as they have no mystery left to them, trading them off for a new mystery they can solve.
The tabaxi were not ever really hunted by the humans as they were quick to scatter and try to unravel the many mysteries of the new land they had found themselves in. Which made it hard for the humans to ever realize the number of them and they thought of them as mutated cats at first, before realizing that they were a whole new race. When they began to come out of the forests and jungles they had hid themselves in, they found themselves not wanted in cities or towns as the humans thought of them as nothing more than talking cats. So they turned to the roads within caravans, or they stalked through the cities at night stealing and killing to earn a place in the world. In recent times, many tabaxi find themselves on the road within a caravan, or as members of some sort of criminal organization doing various odd jobs of thievery and sometimes assassination. Their caravans are not allowed inside of cities forcing them to set up shop outside of cities to sell their wares, and the ones inside often have to listen to threats of how someone should turn them into a rug. Though in no place are they as hated as the beast ridden Fallthren Empire where they're seen as beasts in hiding and are often burnt before they can try to defend themselves.
