Lore

Balmerins are a godly race discovered when a rift was created between our world and their's. They appear to be a cross between a lion and a horse, but have calls similar to that of bears and eagles.

They are social creatures who dwell in groups called clans. In order for a clan to be true there must be at least five members. One must be female, and the remaining can be either male or female. On average a clan has two females, an empress and a queen. The empress is the sole leader and the queen enforces her command. Togther, they make decisions for the clan. 1 in every 10 balmerins born is female.

Females tend to be larger than males with short manes (horse). Due to their rarity, they are the most hostile and territorial of the species. During their seasonal heats, they will begin an intricate dance in front of a male who's scent appeals to them the most. After the dance they will run and wait for the male to chase. If he can prove his worthiness by catching her swift enough, she will lick his muzzle and they will begin courting with food and tokens. If he fails she will slash his face, marking him as a forever outcast.

Malaes are smaller than females with luscious manes (lion). They are passive and curious, often travelling alone or in bachelor cliques until they find a suitable clan. They are fertile year round and do not experience any ruts. During a female's seasonal heat they will try their best to impress the female when they are able to chase. To be deemed unworthy means they will NEVER be allowed to breed. Once a male is slashed he loses status and may be castrated by other males who hope to gain favor of the queen and empress.

Balmerins have large, occasionally intermingled territories. Territories only intermingled when empresses or queens, share a dam. There are temples placed in the direct center of each territory. Empresses live at the top, queens live a floor under, studs share a floor beneath the queens, and remaining pack members live on the various lower floors. It is not known how the temples were created, but they are massive and unbreakable.
