History

The kaithrit are believed to have a rather human-like evolutionary story, beginning as tree-dwellers who, as the trees gave way to grassland, evolved towards a bipedal frame. As one may expect, the kaithrit’s most distant ancestor was more feline than primate. Perhaps because of this, gender roles also evolved differently to humans; unlike human precursors, these proto-kaithrit were a matriarchal species. The females were, as they are today, bigger and stronger than the males, responsible for hunting and warring with other prides, while the males cared for the offspring. This inversion of human gender roles shows through in many aspects of kaithrit society; it is far more common for a female kaithrit to initiate a relationship than it is for the males, for instance.
