Nine Lives Short Lived

Felis live up to 135 years of age. It is whispered that they posses nine lives and, by some forgotten curse, they burn through each life every 15 years. This has led many Felis adventurers to set out on a quest to seek an end to their curse and restore the race's full lifespan. With their cursed nine lives the Felis travel alone with an eagerness to get the most from life which drives them to move through it rarely forming strong attachments to many non-Felis of which they become aquainted. Felis live their lives with a strong sense of magic. Most Felis are able to sniff out a wizard in a room full of grey bearded, pointy hat wearing men. Other races often construe the Felis innate magic sense to their origins as Wizard familiars.
