How does the charr warband work?
Charr parents actually have very little to do with their children. Once the cubs are weaned (not quite sure how long that takes), the cubs are sent off to a fahrar, which is kind of like a community school/orphanage. The fahrar is managed by a Primus and his warband, and they oversee the care and training of all the cubs within the fahrar.
As they get older, the Primus organises the cubs into warbands based on how well individual cubs get along and according to their talents, although sometimes the cubs start forming their own bonds before that.
The parents may keep tabs on their children now and again, but for the most part once they are given to the fahrar, Charr parents have nothing more to do with their children’s lives. Likewise, while Charr cubs may take pride in (or feel shame about) their parent’s accomplishments, a cub is free to make their own name and reputation without wider society judging them for their heritage. Charr society is remarkably meritocratic.
I’m not sure how often children are conceived within warbands, but it seems that most Charr cubs are born from brief flings and passionate liaisons between Charr adults. They meet, they procreate, and then they separate once the cubs are old enough to be sent to the fahrar. Long-term relationships between Charr are exceedingly rare.
