12 Virs Factbook
Overview
The Empire of 12 Virs is a nation of furries, ie anthropomorphic animals. It consists of twelve species, called "virs" (from the Indo-European root word weru, as in "werewolf", for example). Their society is rigidly heirarchical, with each vir occupying a particular caste which dictates their role and status. There are four major divisions, with three virs occupying separate castes within each one. In order of highest to lowest caste, they are:
The priestly castes:
- the Dracovir, or dragon-folk
