| - | A kithkin appears as a menage of the larger cats, crossbred with humans. However anyone mentioning this fact will likely wish they hadn’t during the last seconds of their lives. They are a combination of great strength, keen senses, sharp intelligence, and lightning reflexes — making a kithkin possibly the most perfect hunter anywhere in Miranda. | + | A kithkin appears as a menage of the larger cats, crossbred with humans.

| Both male and female kithkin are expected to hunt, herd, and defend the tribe. Those that show special skills often find themselves becoming traders, craftsmen, teachers, or even a shaman. The kithkin have no form of currency; although most tribes have a cache of coins and jewels to trade for the materials they need. | Both male and female kithkin are expected to hunt, herd, and defend the tribe.

| They have short whiskers near their cheekbones and ears set high on their heads. This helps to provide a kithkin with senses of a born predator. Their legs are more similar to a cat than human. The length from the hip to knee is short, and the foot consists of just the ball and toes, with the "heel" part of the leg sitting about midway between the knee and the foot. Their gait is very distinct as they move in a way that seems foreign to any other race. This causes them some discomfort when moving around in a world full of things made for the other races. | They have short whiskers near their cheekbones and ears set high on their heads.

| - | Kithkin are a nomadic race. They are deeply tied to the family and clan to the point where a kithkin cast out of their tribes is almost certain to die. Tribes roam the grasslands of the Bronze Sea. The bison herds that roam these lands hold a special place in their culture, being powerful, dangerous, and useful. Each clan or tribe can range quite widely over the course of a few years. | + | Kithkin are a nomadic race.

| Kithkin live in low, rounded tents called "//galug//". Typically between eight to ten stay in each galug. The members of the galug typically form around an elder who is in charge of the galug. The word galug also has special meaning to the kithkin, as members of a galug have a tighter bond to each other than to other tribe members. Membership is not always by close blood ties. The elder decides who is allowed to stay in a galug. | Kithkin live in low, rounded tents called "//galug//". Typically between eight to ten stay in each galug.
