"Coincidence, I assure you. There are several other races besides the feline ones represented here - this body being one such."
Hythlodaeus' persistent gaze makes his cheek burn. He ignores it as he elaborates:
"Felih, Irhya, the Matriarch, and the Exarch - they are of the race known as miqo'te. Then there are the hyur, who look much as we did but with pale or umber skin. Roegadyn, thickset and burly types. Au ra, bearing horns instead of ears, mistaken as relatives of another foreign race called dragons. The elezen, tall and lithe with pointed ears. They live far longer than the rest together with the viera, fierce warrior women with long, furred ears who live as recluses in the forest. And the hrothgar, similar to roegadyn in build but more akin to great cats.
"Finally there are the Garleans, as tall as the elezen but with the features of a hyur. Their main point of difference is this eye." He taps his forehead, still not quite looking at Hyth. "A pureblood Garlean cannot use aether in normal circumstances. I made myself Emperor of their nation. The first emperor."
