avian

The avian race is a very secretive and mysterious one. They are

the size of giants, towering over any human, but weigh about the same

as an elf. Their slight bone structure allows their wings to carry

them as they fly from place to place, but it also requires them to

rely on mental prowess instead of brawn for survival. Many speculate

that they are a people who evolved in the mountains, perhaps

magically. However they came to be, they are fiercely religious, and

worship a nature diety. Most choose to become druids since that

allows them to be closest to their god, however they do well in

clerical magicks as well. They have uncanny powers of sight, and it

is said that an avian can see everything you do. For this reason many

avians are hired as watchkeepers, and they make wonderful explorers

and missionaries. Their amazingly unusual bodies, which basically

look like emaciated humans with wings, and the fact that they are used

to an isolated environment, makes them very susceptible to disease and

poison. Many an avian has ventured out of his or her homeland only to

fall victim to one of the many plagues that ravage the world at large.
