Ahnasha nodded. Most people knew that Khajiit culture was tied to the moons, but she supposed that only someone who specifically studied them would know about their influence on their morphology. "Yes, the ja'Kha'jay, the Lunar Lattice, is the primary determining factor in our eventual forms. I'm not sure if you would have learned of this, living so far from Anequina and Pelletine, but there are well over a dozen breeds of Khajiit, most of which are very different. I am a Suthay-raht, the most common type of Khajiit you will find outside of our homeland. Other Khajiit tend to either stay in the homeland, or return to it, as they are not as...easily accepted as we are. Some breeds are similar to myself, such as the Cathay and Cathay-raht, who only differ in that they are larger and stronger than Suthay. On the other hand, the Pahmar and Pahmar-raht are similar in appearance to tigers or sabercats, while the Alfiq and Alfiq-raht are similar to a common housecat, and could easily be mistaken for one. Those are just a few examples. The thing that determines a Khajiit's breed is not its parentage, but rather the phases of the moons near the time of the child's birth."
