The Tsinka are a feline race that live in the plains on the edge of the eastern continent's desert.
Biology
As feline beings, the Tsinka have aspects of carnivore animals and humanoids, so they appear as human-like but with lightly sharped canine teeth, cat-like eyes and a thin fur over the whole body. Although most common Tsinka furs are orange, the colors can vary from any shade of orange to shades of red.
Tsinka don't perspire and their skin is made for hot environments. They can also survive without much water for some days, which makes them the best race to live near the desert. Their intuition and reflexes as felines is better than many other humanoid races.
The Tsinka is a long lived race, each tsinka living at least one hundred and thirty years.
Culture
They are neutral to most outsiders and trade regularly. Their only major enemies are the Cattull. The Tsinka race is seperated into small nomadic tribes, kind of like american indians. The leader of each of these small tribes is an elder female, for tsinka are a matriarchal race. There is also a ruling tribe, the Na'Chaal, who is ruled by the queen of all tsinka. This queen only assumes command of all the Tsinka only in times of war or dire need.
As nomads, they dress in bright colors and live in collapsible homes, except for the queen who lives in a large wooden palace.
The Tsinka use weapons like swords and axes made by bones and sharpened stones, and they believe in shamanism. Their shamans use their powers to draw out elementals to answer questions, foretell the future and to fight for them.Both sexes of the Tsinka fight in war and they do not use large war weapons. For travel, the Tsinka ride Lika-Likas , (aka Tauntauns), and Goru, large birds that seat two people. Both of these animals are used in war and each has their own cavalry.
The Tsinka are not xenophobic and trade with other races in their area of the continent. they are fearsome in battle, but helpful and wise to friends.
