Overview

Large hunting cats similar to bob-cats or lynx in size and body form (with the exception being Tomka have longer tails. These beasts are found alongside sildaryn hunters as companions when out in the wilds of the Sildara, as their stealth, climbing, and speed make them ideal for hunting all sorts of problem beasts in the thick forests of Sildaryn homeland.

Domestication

General
These creatures work with the Sildaryn to the mutual benefice of both. While the Sildaryn are exclusively vegetarian, they will occasionally kill animals which pose threats to their crops or the Sildaryn themselves; meat from such kills is given to the tomka.
To an outside observer it seems less of a hunter and his trained animal, and more of two hunters working together. In fact the tomka do not seem to be owned by the Sildaryn, and will chose who they team up with according to their own desires. Tomka do not dwell within the Sildaryn hintas, but will form temporary dens nearby.
Tomka will also stay in ranges and not follow the Sildaryn hintas as they migrate around their annual route, but will accompany the hinta for the portion of the journey which crosses their range. During a one year cycle a hunter of the Sildaryn my pair up with as many as twenty different tomka for a few weeks each.
The relationship is more a symbiotic one, than a force servitude. The Dalfyn are attributed with originally taming the Tomka in such a manner as to create this mutually respectful relationship.
Resources
Protection and assistance hunting and tracking.
