ABOUT

The cherished children of the cat goddess Bast, these mischievous humanoids are found throughout Nuria. They live in Per-Bast, the City of Cats, in great numbers.

Lithe and slender, bast catfolk have a cat’s eyes, long tail, and soft fur coat. Their fur varies in coloration and is often accented with spots, stripes, and other markings.

Basti like nothing better than having new experiences and meeting interesting strangers so they can share tales of their escapades with their family and friends. Their natural curiosity might get them into trouble, but they often seem to be able to quickly extricate themselves from their misfortunes and land on their feet.
