Legend

a race of bipedal feline aliens from Togoria, the Togorians were distinguished by their long, sinewy limbs and well-muscled bodies. They were equally comfortable moving through a forest or running across an open plain. Their hands and feet were studded with heavy claws, which were retractable on the hands, and which provided evidence of their tree-climbing ancestors. When a Togorian met a friend or potential ally, the claws were retracted into the hands as a sign of peace. They regularly fed on bist and etelo herds, but were the favored prey of the reptilian liphons. The Togorians soon realized that they shared this trait with the mosgoths, and they formed a relationship which provided mutual protection as well as friendship. The Togorian society was matriarchal, with the males and females only seeing each other for a few days each year. The males spent their days wandering the plains and hunting for food, while the females stayed in the cities and tend to their businesses. The Togorians had a limited technology, including a solar technology maintained by the females, although they were fond of high-tech devices. The Togorian society was presided over by the Margrave, a position held by a male of a certain family line. However, the Margrave was rarely the public leader many believed him to be. Instead, the Margrave's closest female relative was chosen to live in the capital of Caross and interact with other governmental leaders.
