Leonin

The Leonin of Keskad are a stoic people, nomads who wander in places far beyond what would normally be called "Civilization". They are religious but practical, seeing the needs of the life around them as more pressing at any point than that of the divine. The divine will sort out what needs to be divine and the Leonin will sort out what is to be done on the mortal side of things is often their take on things. Their society is a matriarchal one by virtue of the male birthrate being relatively low among their people. Males are uncommon though not rare to the point of surprise. The tribes tend to be sized from 30 to 300 individuals of which around 30% will be male, 60% female with various other genders falling in elsewhere.     There is no real concept of monogamy among the Leonin, instead they treasure the time spent with various partners over the years and do not see drifting apart as a cause for concern, instead they cherish the memories and look forward to enjoying time with others. Cubs are raised by the tribe as a whole and the concept of fatherhood or any special ideas attached to that are alien to them. Motherhood is not seen as much more important as the children are grouped by age and cared for collectively, more paternal/materinal Leonin taking more active roles in the raising while those less inclined distance themselves unless needed.    They are primarily found wandering in large nomadic family groups on the Steppes of Kur and throughout the eastern Veshk Desert. There are smaller groups who also traverse the Tall-Horn Mountains, Howling Fjords and the Edgewilde but they are rarer in those parts. There are no known permanent settlements of Leonin but those that do settle down will find themselves in Cities within the Veshk Desert or border settlements with the Seven Cities of Krom. They trade and fight with the Orcs of the Steppes with equal fervor and there is a significant population of Half-Orcs of Leonin descent on the steppes.
