Kharrians (Kaar-ree-ans)
"It was only a matter of time that a Feline folk would reveal themselves to us, Thankfully these Kharrians are peaceful, yet hellish when angered or threatened..."The Kharrian people are a race of cat-like folk that mostly resemble cheetahs, but are also known to show variations of other felines. They are a humble and protective race that has known to be fierce fighters.~unknown
Savanna Tree Dwellers
The race is mostly found within the Majiitpiit Scrublands and they have been seen all over the continent since. They live in and around the massive Elddar Tropius trees that dot the Scrublands. They are of course built for climbing and hunting, yet they have grown to herding and domestication in the past. However hunting parties of Kharrians are still a thing to see.Basic Information
Anatomy
The Kharrian race are slender and tall feline humanoids that have strong claws on thier feet and hands. They stand Digitigrade and are of an athletic build. Short coats of beautiful fur covers thier bodies, and thus, the race often wears sashes over pants. They have pointd ears and short feline snouts that are keen in senses.
The coasts differ individual to individual. Most resemble cheetahs, but there have been others that resemble Lions, leopards and tigers as well.

Social Structure
The Social structure is often seen as an equal fitting. it is however the work of females that enlighten the young, and the males who do the field work. The two see each others as equals in thier society. Males and females work together to bring prosperity to thier prides and can both field the hard work required.
In thier military, females and Males stand togetehr as one. Thjey are the most respected of all the jobs. They have the proud history of repelling Sasslissian Incursions to vassalize Kharria in the past. They are the first sight of stability within a continent that is primal. Perhaps the last sign of Fredom and order before one reaches Sassliss.
Average Intelligence
Despite the tribal background of the race, they have embraced modernization and yet most still favor tradition. This has them very similar to the Foxian race of Telos. The have found ways to integrate modern technology into thier ages-old traditions. There are areas within thier culture that forbids electronics, however.
The Kharrians are mostly self-taught or taught by a Denmother. They do mostly hands on learning and instead of sitting in a classroom, they are often out and about the wilds, learning as they progress.
"If you ever meet a den Mother and thier pupils, you will be amazed at how technical these cubs get. Everything's hands on, and taught in the field, it's amazing to see." ~ Scholar Antonie Sarkan , The Studies of Kharis
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
The Kharrians have superior hearing, sight and scent. It is said that these played a major role in thier victories against the Isarian people of Sassliss back in the past. Despite some of thier sizes, they all can also be silent movers due to thier paws. They can sight targets amongst camoflage, smell targets from miles away, and hear the smallest sound amongst a cacophony of other sounds.
Weaknesses
It is possible to overpopulate their senses by sheer overhelming them with information. When they become dazzled by the overload they usually stand vulrenable. However they are not entriely defenseless. They have fangs, and claws, and possible other weapons that can focus on the one who strikes them first. It is also not advised to engage them in melee, especially the Shroud Kharrians and the Wildland Kharrians, as they are both hulking strength and the more physically powerful of the race.
