Overview
The Gnirusull (usually just called Maddrakkian Catfolk) are a group of Catfolk from the Maddrak region; they got their name from what the gnomes called them back in the day, "salty animal." They were called this because of how menacing they were to the gnomes (due to their height); as a result, the catfolk were either enslaved, or were driven to the edges of Maddrak, sometimes they were even kicked out of Maddrak entirely. Gnirusull as a whole aren't that smart, and typically when they speak in Traveler's Tongue, it's a more simplified/shortened version of it (ex: instead of "I don't want to give this to you" it would be "me no give you"). Though, they aren't completely incompetent, and in most instances can do tasks just fine. Gnirusull's are mainly divided into two groups; the "feral" group, and the "tamed" group.

Tamed Gnirusull
Tamed Gnirusull are the catfolk that were enslaved --or kept as pets after some time-- by the gnomes, because of this, they are slightly different from their feral counterparts biologically; tamed Gnirusull typically have duller claws and teeth, fluffier hair, wider eyes, and bushier tails.

Feral Gnirusull
Feral Gnirusull are the catfolk that were pushed to the edges of Maddrak by the gnomes, because of this, they are slightly different from their tamed counterparts biologically; feral Gnirusull typically have sharper claws and teeth, pointier/shaggier hair, sharper/more narrow eyes, and thinner tails.

History
The Gnirusull were originally native to Maddrak, and live a peaceful life of simple farming, hunting, and fishing. All Gnirusull were the same, and they all got along within their towns and tribes; this was all before the invasion of the gnomes. Once the gnomes invades, the catfolk posed a serious threat to them, having natural claws and sharp teeth, along with the Gnirusull being much taller than them. The gnomes tried to enslave the Gnirusull just as they had almost every other race in Maddrak, and this caused a split among the Gnirusull. some of the population was enslaved --with some even becoming pets. The rest of the population fought back against the gnomes, but they were largely unsuccessful; their towns, homes, and lives being pushed to the edge of the sub-continent. After much time (and slight biological differences), the gnomes finally got the tables turned on them, with their slaves revolting, overthrowing, and even hunting the gnomes. The tamed Gnirusull were largely indifferent about the situation (most being pets of some kind at this point) and didn't do much to help or deter either side. On the other hand, the feral Gnirusull were some of the most active members of the gnome hunting, right next to goblins. After all this time apart, the relations between feral and tamed Gnirusull were very awkward at first; though, they eventually learned to accept and tolerate one another for the most part.

Tamed Gnirusull
Tamed Gnirusull believe themselves to be better than their feral counterparts, but they still tolerate them. They believe that everything should be by means of peace, and seem to be on track to becoming more educating (albeit, with their linguistic abilities still lacking). Tamed Gnirusull used to believe in the gnomes' god, but after their empire fell, most are now Atheist.

Feral Gnirusull
Feral Gnirusull believe themselves to be better than their tamed counterparts, but they still tolerate them. Feral Gnirusull are very "brute force" most of the time, and use an honor system of sorts. A lot of feral Gnirusull become warriors or politicians (though typically use less peaceful means than their tamed counterparts). Most feral Gnirusull don't see a need to get education besides the basic necessities, so not very many are properly educated.

Religion
A majority of feral Gnirusull believe in "Konekoshka," a warrior cat of legend who lived through 8 deaths in battle, before dying on his 9th. They believe he was a god of some kind because of this, and was praised as such. It is told that he was the main reason for the survival of the feral Gnirusull during the war with the gnomes. While there is no concrete proof of Konekoshka existing, many still believe in his legend to this day, and celebrate his legend through the holiday known as "Sagrad Katze." Sagrad Katze takes place when the leaves are most orange, and the trees are all yellow. They celebrate his legend by putting on costumes of terrifying creatures, to remember a pivotal point in the war; when many of the Feral catfolk disguised themselves as gnomes and infiltrated some of their forts to steal supplies (it is said that Konekoshka came up with --and executed-- this brilliant plan).
