Fel-el

The Fel-el, or Girado, are a race of tall, strong humanoids hailing from the islands of Girados. They were first discovered during the Dwarvish Age of Exploration.

Physiology
Fel-el typically stand between 6-1/2' and 7-1/2' tall and weigh 230 to 280 pounds with slightly heavier and taller males. Due to the curvature of the Fel-el skeleton, a typical member of the species stands several inches shorter than this height, but can easily reach this size by taking a slightly uncomfortable stance. Fel-el skeletal structure is not otherwise unlike that of a hybrid-form weretiger. Their entire bodies are covered in golden to brown fur 1/2-2" long. Males grow longer hair, up to a foot in length, around the neck. Small subcultures of Fel-el throughout Girados can potentially have different hair and eye colors. Fel-el eye color is typically gold, but can also be blue, dark brown, or bright green. Their claws have grown progressively smaller and shorter over time, but are still retractable. In addition, Fel-el have tails that vary in length between 18 and 24 inches. Fel-el reach physical maturity at 25 years of age and live just over a century, with 150 representing extreme old age.

Comparisons between Fel-el physiology and lycanthrope physiology lead some scholars to believe that Fel-el are descended from lycanthropes, as they have a strong physical resemblance to both lycanthropes and large felines. This has never been verified, and the Fel-el creation account runs counter to this theory.

Culture
The Fel-el believe that they are the chosen race of Fel to bring his message and teachings to all the people. Felism was first developed in Girados, the island from which the race originated. Fel-el society's greatest values are wisdom, an understanding of one's place in the plan of the gods, and strength of physical form. Priests and paladins of Fel are numerous due to their culture's innate connection to the divine. In keeping with Felist theology, the favored weapon of the Fel-el tends to be the greatsword, and Fel-el crusaders brandishing greatswords are among the world's most deadly.

Wars
The Fel-el were at war almost constantly either among themselves with the Ramthites, with whom they shared Girados, for uncounted centuries following the separation of the Material and Celestial Planes. In the War of the Dor-el, the Fel-el forces, led by Kel-Ras, eliminated the last Ramthites, ending centuries of bloodshed. As a measure against the Ramthites rising again to seek revenge, all Fel-el learn at least the basics of cold magic, as the Ramthites were vulnerable to it.
