A Qadiran Catfolk Ranger from the Southern Tapur Forest in the Ketz desert north of the Zho Mountains south of the great Pashman River. Rangers of Qadira are varied in their outlooks. Some are wanderers of the desert or the sparse grasslands, nurturing the wildlife, guarding against interlopers and those who would destroy what few natural wonders have not already surrendered to the sands. Some serve in the satrap’s armies, as camel-mounted archers prepared to strike down Qadira’s foes. These camel-riders perhaps are the most deadly of all, combining the Keleshite’s natural love of comfort (and annoyance at being removed from it) with a lethal knack for taking down enemies at range. A few Qadiran gnolls use their ranger skills to guard their own packs and fiercely defend their territory from interlopers.
Najáre's Catfolk people shar a common culture with their human Keleshites neighbors. They treasure their women as priceless jewels, particularly among the upper classes, where wealth and status is traced through matrilineal descent. Men and women both pursue whatever professions they choose, though females do so with slightly more freedom, as their fathers prepare the way for them with gifts and guarantees of comfort no matter what wealth (if any at all) their choice of life will bring. No profession is barred to a Qadiran woman, and if she elects to become a weaver or a dervish, a wizard or a horse breeder, no proper Keleshite father or husband dares stand in her way. Born to the fairy-haunted wilds of the Tapur Forest, Najáre grew to love the ways of the forest and the wilderness. It became her true home. Now she roams Golarion exploring other forests and having adventures. But destiny is calling to her and the Gods have taken notice. The Cat-Lord sees in her a successor and the ancient Smilodon-spirit Ithayiga, a Spirit-God of the ancient Dire Tiger, proclaimed her an adoptive Daughter and promises to watch over her. An important fate is in store for her.
