Pride of Fiorenti

Introduction
One of the 5 major prides of the Lionfolk, the Fiorenti are known as artists, intellectuals, and the financial capital of the lionfolk nation. Their main rival pride is the Sienen. A feud that has lasted centuries and no one knows exactly how it started, why, or by whom. Legend has it that the Sienens stole the sacred jeweled flower from the fiorenti.

History
Long ago the Fiorenti were part of an alliance with the Sienen until one day a Sienen noble was found stealing the sacred jeweled flower from the fiorenti. Found a ways outside the city, he was then captured and put to death. Since that day, Fiorenti and Sienens have hated each other with a passion.

Location
In the northeastern Etruscan plains stands the home of the fiorenti, Domus Florentiae, atop a large outcrop amidst the green sea. Their only major city overlooks the rolling waves of tall grass with lake traziment in sight which is the extent of their southern border as it is in constant and heated dispute between the Sieni Pride

Society
You are born into your position in society which you inherit from your parents. Lionfolk take pride in mastering the craft of their family and therefor do not stray from the beaten path often. Schooling is available and required in the upper and middle tiers however it is only required in the middle tier until they are of age to become an apprentice or join the military/workforce. Most upper tier children are sent to foreign courts to learn the ways of royalty and foster relationships with other factions. The lower tiers have a school however it is more of a day care and receives no funding. Most people teach their own children as they cannot afford the costs of education.

There is absolutely no welfare or unemployment. If you don’t feel like working, you must not feel like having money. Gays are fine. Women have to right to choose for abortions but the father has to be on board as well, if one parent wants the kid the kid will be had, but there is no obligation to stick around, though a flaky parent risks being shunned.
