About this mod
The magically gifted Alfiqs are the smallest breed of Khajiit that can be found in Elsweyr. Alfiqs are born when the moon Secunda is full and Masser is waning, and resemble house cats in size and appearance, a comparison they find very offensive.

"Alfiqs are the smallest breed of Khajiit that can be found in Elsweyr. Alfiqs are born when the moon Secunda is full and Masser is waning. A larger variant known as Alfiq-raht is born when Masser is waning and Secunda is waxing. These diminutive forms of magically gifted Khajiit resemble typical domestic cats. Their resemblance to common domestic cats has led many foreigners to treat them as such, whether by minimizing their intelligence, treating them like pets or pests, or trying to hug or pet them without consent. Although there are rumors among outsiders that Alfiqs are mute, in fact they are capable of speaking, they just don't do so openly with outsiders as they revolt at the treatment and looks they usually receive from them on the first meeting. All of these factors have caused Alfiq to resent being labeled house cats, a thing they consider condescending and irritating, which makes Alfiqs rarely found outside of Elsweyr or friendly states.
However, it is worth noting that the serious lack of knowledge that foreigners have of them allows many Alfiq to pose as house cats to serve as information collectors and spies, with several having been captured serving as spies for the Thalmor in recent times. Alfiqs however, when not trying to pass themselves off as ordinary cats, wear colorful cultural clothing and rich jewelry, but as they are unable to dress themselves with such jewels and clothes in a practical way, they use magic to put them on.
As mentioned before, they are extremely gifted with magical powers and can cast potent spells. They are also extremely good illusionists. In fact, in combat an Alfiq will create great magical activity to confuse his enemy. They can create a "mirror game" by conjuring magical runic portals around their opponents, and chasing them with floating orbs, while opening the way for a destructive magical attack delivered directly. They are also mighty conjurers of daedra and atronachs. Normally Alfiqs use shock or fire magic, having little affinity with water and ice, and always carry with them a crystal/soul gem, called "focus", which helps them control and direct their magical power, due to their tiny bodies that contrast with their extremely high arcane potential.
Although little understood by foreign scholars, there are not actually several species of Khajiit, but the same species in different variants. Each Khajiit is born with particular characteristics according to the phases of the moons at the time of his or her birth, and although they are all born very similar and smaller than the children of men and elves, they grow faster and, over time, they begin to demonstrate the specific characteristics of their variant, which can make them anything from a small quadrupedal Alfiq the size of a domestic cat to a gigantic bipedal tiger-like Pahmar-raht. The phases of the moons at their births directly affect what the Khajiits will be like physically, psychologically, and spiritually, and they attribute this to Azura's wisdom in creating Khajiits suited to each of the roles needed in the community. And, unlike the Argonians who are also divided by types, determined by the influence of each Hist, and who are often at war with each other, in the case of the Khajiits this does not happen at all, with all the variants being considered an important part of the same community, and with each member performing the functions that best adapt to their psychological and physical profile.
Any variant of Khajiit can give rise to a completely different variant, depending only on the newborn's day of birth, and regardless of appearance, as mentioned all Khajiit variants are fully integrated into Elsweyr society, having all the same rights and duties, and being treated with the same respect by all members of Khajiit society."

- 2 new breeds of Khajiit, Alfiq and Alfiq-raht, in 4 variants: Alfiq Blazecaller, Alfiq Thundercaller, Alfiq-raht Firebender and Alfiq-raht Stormbender.
So far no incompatibilities have been found between this mod and other mods.
(OBS- If by chance when installing several of Mihail's mods at the same time you are asked about files overwriting those of other Mihail mods or other authors mods, don't worry because they are just the same files shared between mods. I recommend that on these occasions always give preference to the files contained in my mods, and among mine always give preference to the mod you are installing last.)
The "Outlanders" series aims to introduce other sentient races from Nirn or surrounding areas that are not present in the fifth entry of the series, whether these are completely new and distinct races, such as the Imga, or different tribes/breeds from already present races, like other Khajiit breeds or other Argonian tribes.
