Mitzenki

The Mitzenki are an ethnic group of catfolk that can mostly be found in the freezing reaches of the Crown of the World along with neighbouring kingdoms like Iobaria and the northernmost kingdoms of Arcadia.

Appearance

Mitzenki tend to be both noticeably taller and brawnier than other catfolk, adapted to surviving in the harsh conditions of the far north. Their fur is normally patterned in either stripes or leopard-like spots and tends to be lighter in colour than other catfolks, with many Mitzenki even having pure white fur.

Culture

Due to the harshness of the frozen environment that surrounds them, the Mitzenki do not encourage their clan members to travel or venture away from home like some other catfolk cultures do. Their curiosity instead manifests as a desire to know everything about their own community, their surroundings and their neighbours. Mitzenki crafts heavily feature both leather and bone, as they are some of the most readily available materials for Mitzenki artisans to use.
