Luporan (RP 14)
Luporans are humanoid canines standing between 5 and 6 feet tall, with sturdy builds. Their fur comes in various colors and patterns, often reflecting the environments they inhabit. They have keen eyes and strong jaws, with ears and tails that often reveal their emotions. Luporans are known for their athletic builds and graceful movements, reminiscent of their wolf heritage.
Luporan society is deeply rooted in the values of loyalty, community, and respect for nature. They live in tightly-knit packs, often led by an elder council known as the Lupora. These councils make decisions based on the well-being of the entire pack, and their wisdom is revered among the Luporans. They are typically found in dense forests, expansive plains, and mountainous regions where they can maintain a close connection to nature. Their settlements are designed to blend seamlessly with the environment, often featuring structures made from natural materials and integrated into the landscape.
Luporans get along well with most other races, particularly humans, halflings, and gnomes. They are wary of races with a reputation for deceit or treachery, such as drow and goblins. They value harmony and cooperation, often forming alliances with those who share their respect for nature and community.
Luporans tend toward lawful alignments, valuing community and tradition. They often worship deities associated with nature, protection, and community, such as Eraman and Elowen. Rituals and festivals are common in their culture, often revolving around the cycles of the moon and seasonal changes.
Luporan adventurers are often driven by a sense of duty to protect their communities or to seek out new experiences and knowledge. They make excellent rangers, druids, and clerics, drawing on their natural instincts and strong sense of loyalty.
