It all happened to fast to stop anything. The humans did this to us, and now that they're gone we'll have to stop it. As odd as it was, how they got up here no longer matters. The Kayrah tribes are at war, and this is no simple feud for food, water, or land anymore. This is for total domination and control of the Kayrah race. It all started with the first domestic; the first one to take food and shelter from the humans that appeared on the Kayrah lands and began to try and colonize the isles that the Kayrah controlled peacefully. It showed the humans our secrets and with the humans came the hunters, with them, came the wars.

The first to turn their backs on the old traditions were the Shatterbade, they quickly adapted to the ferocious new terms of the humans and lost their friendliness the quickest. They are not evil in their reguard, just protecting themselves, and what they've known since their births. This hasn't remained, and though they still believe it is only defense for their livelihoods they are well aware the disrepair of the isles since the humans' banishment from the Kayrah homes, and are well prepared to force all other Kayrah into their beliefs rather than let each clan fall apart.

The second whole clan to turn their backs on the old ways were the Kryiisi {Chris-eye}. They seek to restore their homelands back to the once glorious, lush, and full isles they were. Unlike the Shatterbade, however, they still follow the old traditions of the Kayrah; respecting each kill, and celebrating each new life; taking the time to mourn their dead, and return them to the soils. They wish to re-instill these traditions into the Kayrah species once more, but keep them loose enough so that the issue doesn't arise again when and if the humans should return to their home. They really just don't want things to fall apart once more, and for the warring between the clans to end.

The third clan still tries to make their passings through the old traditions while keeping themselves safe from the war. The Tergaia are still steadfast in all the old traditions of the Kayrah, and would never stray from their beliefs. They are as hard as the stone under their paws, and will not be swayed whether beaten, or tortured; they are strong, but few in numbers. For the most part they will avoid any sense of war, but will not turn their back on a challenge to their clan, beliefs, or self.

The war rages through the days, but it must end! Choose your side amongst your fellow Kayrah and end the nonsense that plagues the land by aiding your clan in domination, or perish.

Kayrah Info

Here is the information I have on the kayrah as a species.

Size:
Kayrah are generally 30-50 cm tall at the shoulder when standing straight, although they often crouch low. They are 50-60 cm long, not including their tail, which is often almost as long as their body. Male kayrah are slightly larger and stronger than females, while females are faster and often better climbers.

Habitat:
Kayrah prefer to live in thick forests, often near a source of water such as a stream. They can travel long distances in search of food and territory, but most prefer to settle down when they've found a safe place to live. They are very good climbers, but many dislike the trees, only escaping into the branches when confronted by danger. They prefer to live in borrows, although they are not very efficient diggers, and will usually enlarge a burrow abandoned by another animal or find a sheltered den under the roots of a tree or in the thickest, strongest undergrowth.Rarely, they use caves, although these are often too cold for young. A kayrah will have one to three well-hidden dens throughout their territory. These dens will usually contain a well-constructed nest of mosses, grass, and fur. Kayrah will only share their dens with their kits or mates, and even the closest friends and hunting partners sleep separately.

Diet:
The primary food source of most kayrah is rodents and birds, although they will often eat insects, roots, berries or fruits. Few kayrah fish, as they are not very skilled swimmers due to their mane.

Colouration:
Kayrah have very varied coats. The base colour is usually a neutral brown or grey, with an infinite variety of markings. They often have lighter toes and darker ear tips.

Males have more dark or contrasting manes, while females usually have manes the same or a similar colour to their bodies.

Their eyes can be any colour at all, but they are usually a yellow, orange or redish colour.
Blue or purple eyes are rare among kayrah, and are generally considered attractive.

Behaviours:
Kayrah kits are born in litters of two to three. The father will provide for the mother, but will tend to keep his distance while the kits are being raised. Only when they have been weaned at about two months will he begin to take a more active role in parenting, teaching his children to hunt, climb, hide and survive.

At two years old, they will have reached maturity. At this point, they will either stay with the family or leave to find territories of their own. This is usually determined by the food supply and the size of hunting group; kayrah rarely live in groups of more than five.

Kayrah are usually not very territorial--in fact, they often welcome newcomers. Unless food is scarce, in which case they will challenge all trespassers. An aggressive kayrah will raise its mane and lower its head, pointing its nose towards the ground. If they are confident, their ears will point forwards. A more scared or desperate kayrah's ears are more likely to be pressed flat. Conflicts are usually solved this way, with the smaller or weaker kayrah reconsidering its challenge and fleeing. The winning kayrah will not waste energy chasing them unless they choose to come back.

Kayrah can be domesticated if raised by humans, but most live in the wild.

**Anything striken through will not apply specifically to this RP, though it is a part specified to the species by the creator: Thecalicotabby.

Would it be alright if I used a different Kayrah? I can't redraw him because he's kinda complicated.
