Physical Appearance
Wemics are creatures very similar to centaurs with the lower half of a lion and the upper half of a humanoid. Unlike a centaur, which has the face of a humanoid, wemics have a different face depending on where they are from. While some have the face of a feline, some have a face that's more human, similar to a centaur. Their exact feline traits vary based on the region they hail from, though they are most often leonine in appearance.
Culture
Wemics are a nomadic species who do not make settled homes, instead forming patriarchal prides, following herds of beasts that they hunt for food. These tribes typically have spiritual leaders such as druids. Sometimes, a number of prides will join together to form a larger Tribe, selecting a chieftain from their patriarchs.
Names
Wemic have no specific naming conventions, though they usually either choose names in either Common or Sylvan.
