Shadows of Luclin Manual — The Vah Shir

The Vah Shir: Noble Cat People of Luclin

The Vah Shir have a few things in common with Norrath’s barbarian Northmen. Their size, strength, endurance and hardiness are very similar, as is their tendency to espouse spirituality as a primary guide for life. Bards and shamans are the members of their society who hold the lore and tradition sacred and interpret the signs that portend the future. Tradition holds strong among these people, but research and technological development are not their strong suits. While they may express themselves beautifully in art, music, or verse, their mag- ics have none of the sophisticated modern elements another race might have developed.

Their feline natures grant them. tremendous agility and strength. They can drop great distances, landing on their feet as silently as jun- gle cats. Living on the dark side of Luclin as they do is no hardship to them, with their excellent night vision. This, and other keen sens- es, enable them to become adept trackers and hunters of prey. Their appetites are as massive as their bodies, as large amounts of food are

required to fuel their muscular frames.
