Vastaur
Now limited to The Toe of southern Had, the vastaur are said to have once roamed further northwest into the Raonares Plains and Diamond Hills. Although they are large and powerful, they lack the intelligence and technology to expand into lands occupied by humans.
History
The vastaur once roamed much of southern Had, wandering as far west from The Toe as the Raonares Plains, and as far north as the Diamond Hills. It is said that some of the local tribes lived in harmony with them at times, acting as guardians of the land, though they did at times go to war with one another and with human tribes. But when people from the Xilou Hoqomer started to expand southward around the year X, they tried to enslave the vastaur to tame and domesticate them for their own use. The vastaur fought back against these attempts, and the hybrids were soon branded as a menace and threat to civilisation. Vastaur initially proved to be very difficult to combat, but once it was discovered that they have a great fear of magic, this was used to drive their population down, leaving only a number of them on The Toe, where they remain to this day.
Appearance
Vastaur are giant feline-human hybrids, with the four-legged body supporting the upper torso of a person and bearing a lion-like head. They are often large and strong enough to pick up and throw a grown man with one arm. They cannot talk, and will not don clothing, but they will adorn themselves with
