PRIDE, The

Also known as catfolk, the Pride are intelligent, bipedal felines inhabiting the southern reaches of the Rirorni Plains and Old Ratan. They are not common in Alastari and very little is known of their culture, though they appear to live in semi-nomadic hunting/family groups. Some scholars contend that the catfolk were created by Callenthar the mage; that they are, in fact, Aruaki in which Callenthar's spells did not break down. However, there is historical evidence that the Prides existed in the southern deserts long before Callenthar's time.

PRIMUS

One of the advanced arenas on the Isle of the Eye. Primus is the arena for the very best of the advanced warriors; when a warrior reaches a certain level of skill and experience, he or she is inducted into the Primus Arena. Warriors of slightly lesser skill may elect to fight in Primus, but few chance the fierce competition.
