Description of their planet: Lilira or The Under World

 Lilira is a vast desert planet. The only defining feture other then the desert is the mountain range that rises up out of it. There are very few plants that survive the hot desert sun, and most of those that due are cacti and similar plants.

The most common creature above ground are small rabbit like creatures call hainti. These creatures thrive in their enviroment and are quite plentifle.

There are also small stocky deer like creatures called millre. These nocturnal creatures are omnivoris and will eat just about anything.

Scattered thoughout the dessert are small springs. These springs have hardly more life around them then the rest of the desert as most life simply can not take the heat of the day.

However life is quit plentiful on Lilira if you travel underground though the cave system running though the mountains. Once in these caves you'll start noticing incandesent moss, or Untri lighting up the the darkness. 

You'll find any springs and rivers runing though the mountains and deep under ground. These area's are the oais of this planet, and its here you'll find lush vegitation and plentiful life. 

Description of the Cerberus themselves:

Cerberus are a dessert cat/dog like hybrid creature. They are strictly nocturnal creatures. There are three above ground tribes out in the desset. But the biggest population lives in the vast underground mountain cavern system. 

They are highly religous creatures, with the moon goddess Mintrina being the bigest diety. Temples are located high up in the mountains to be closer to the gods.

Cerberus Genders:

There are four genders that a Cerberus can be. There is the Female Cerberus which is what is thought of as a female. There is also a smaller more Petite Female that are reconized as adults but have a smaller body with no breasts (Petite Female idea from catpop12343). Then there is the Male Cerberus which is what is thought of when you think of a normal male. There is also a smaller more Petite Male that is smaller then a normal male.

Male Queens also exist, these are normal males that dress in a more feminin way. They generaly have bigger eyes then normal males, and wear cloths that give them a bust. These are still classified as normal males when it comes to breeding.

Cerberus Cenders and Breeding:

Unlike other species gender has no impact on the breeding of Cerberus. In truth they are all unisex and any Cerberus can breed with any other Cerberus. Their 'genders' are more of a reference to their body type.

The gods/goddess:

Mintrina: Mintrina is the goddess of the Moon. She is also the goddess of life, and fertility. Her temple is on the highest peack of the Mountain range. She is the provider of the soft wight light that cools the hot dessert and makes life possible on Lilira. The royal family are touched by her, and it shows in their white and black coats. Her temple color is white.

Ilatri: Ilatri is the god of the hunt. He is widley worshiped by the tribes as it is only though his teachings that they survive in the harsh dessert.

Trical:

Trical is a city deep in the mountain were the Queen lives and rules. It is on an underground island in the middle of a great underground lake. It is lush and full of life.

All of the Chiefs answer to the Queen ultimutly. Trical is a thriving comunity full of life, and is the life blood so to speak of the entire Cerberus community. All of the tribe of the desert reliy on the resoruces they get from Trical in order to be able to survie.

Caravans:

Caravans are groups of Cerberus moving from tribe to tribe, and to and from Trical as well as noumerus smaller setelments. These caravans are how goods get from one place to another, with the tribes having hides, crafts such as weaving from dried weeds, and preosious stones to trade for food and other such necessities.

However these caravans have to be careful as they are often at risk by raiders.

Raiders:

Raiders are grouops of Rouge Cerberus who live outside of the tribes, and cities. They prey on caravans, tribes, and the city. Rouges live by their own rules outside of normal Cerberus socioty. Rouge's tend to steal dye's and color their cloths brightly. Since these dye's are rare and hard to come by Rouge's are always hunted. Since it is usualy pretty obvious who is a rouge do to this habbit they usualy only breed with other rouges. (but it is no longer a rule that they must)

Cerberus Curency:

Cerberus use hard metal plated coins called Prosi as their curency. They also tend to trade goods, but in the big underground cities the shops only accept Prosi as payment.

Prosi are hard metal coins stamped with a sun and moon image, one overlaping the other on one side, and the reverse on the other side. They are also inlaid with Quili Stones.

Quili Stones are the small red gems that are found in Cerberus culture. They are a mark of the goddess Ashirina goddess of Stregth and are highly prized.
