Subject Guru


 * In this land, they raise their children alongside animals that have been trained for battle.
 * People of this land are never seen without some kind of tamed beast by their side. Having their beast die in battle brings shame, but they can begin training another creature to battle again.
 * POWs are often taken as a food source for the larger carnivorous beasts.
 * Children are raised among young animals, expecting the animal and person to naturally gravitate toward each other.
 * All animals are treated with respect, but that doesn’t mean they are vegetarians. Eating flesh is a natural part of life.
 * Most child rearing is communal so people see everyone as family, including the animals.
 * War animals of Subject Guru are treated as citizens.
 * In battle, Subject Guru prefers to use their numbers to surround opponents and strike them from all sides.
 * The people of this territory have spent their lives caring for animals and have expertise in animal handling.
 * All people of this territory have an animal they’ve been raising for years. This pet can be any beasts whose CR is 1/4 your number of hit dice rounded down.
 * The people of Subject Guru have Zerotavlav’s blessing and are resistant to lightning damage.
 * The blessing of Zerotavlav appears as a tattoo of fangs that appears on a random part of the body at birth. When in the presence of Zerotavlav or any of his demons, the mark begins to move, as if chewing leaving an uncomfortable feeling on the skin.
