Fusca is the youngest and only natural female in the Zal’tora Pride. Her spirit shape is an Ocelot. Fusca is rarely seen but sees almost everything that goes on in their territory.

Background

The Zal’tora Pride is a collection of 4 Lunars that are conducting experiments with beastmen in the area to the east of the Grass Spiders range homes. The Zal’tora Pride has come to an agreement with the Grass Spiders in order to not interfere with each other’s projects. The relationship has turned out fantastically for both sides. Both factions wish to keep their locations a secret except for a few allies and/or clients. The Zal’tora Pride is attempting to create a large tribe of beastmen that can hold their own in creation. Once the tribe is large enough, the Lunars will leave them and see if they can survive on their own. The tribe has been instructed to leave the Grass Spiders alone, but no one knows if they will follow that rule once the Lunars are gone. Only the four Lunar leaders know of the last part of their plan.

The Zal’tora Tribe is a collection of beastmen from 4 different Lunars. They live in the plains and the forest to the east of the Grass Spiders. The tribe lives fairly spread out in small families. They generally hunt wild game for food. The area they control has a couple of small towns for supporting advanced industry like blacksmithing and advanced alchemy. The tribe’s leadership is based on trials of strength and ritual combat. They view themselves as warriors and the future heirs of creation. It is likely that once the Lunars disappear, the Zal’tora tribe will begin to expand their territory.
