Kaletani are an intelligent race of feline humanoids that developed through the ages. They are not the product of human coupling in any way as some have suggested. These civilized people are highly adept at magic and most of them are mages of some kind.

Kaletani are mostly encountered living with other races, primarily with humans in their cities and towns. Many of their numbers come from the unpopulated plains and woods around the Duchy of Avalon where they live in small groups much as their animal kin do.

Kaletani meet from time to time during the year to exchange stories, goods and magical knowledge and training. There are no social distinctions between the sexes and all tasks are shared equally. Most Kaletani practice magic though some are accomplished thieves while few train in martial skills.

Kaletani mingle with most races without much conflict save those races who shun magic. It is through this sharing of community that Kaletani gain their knowledge of other races and nations and not through trade as most other cultures do.

Long ago in the early years of this race, Necromancy and those who wield this magic caused great harm to their people, a fact no Kaletani forgets. This deep rooted hatred for this magic has made them staunch opponents to its use and aggressively oppose its spread. This has become such a feature of this race that they no longer possess the ability to use the magic in any form and have found it much easier to learn Healing.

Kaletani are free to follow any of the three paths. Most who do choose to follow a path chose to be a Druid or Follower of the Light. Few choose to become Servants of Darkness and those that do still carry their racial dislike of Necromancy.
