Who are the Kenku?
A Race of Avian-folk brought about many millennia ago by a broken promise by one of the oldest New Gods. Robbed of the boon of flight and speech as punishment they have evolved to be rather sneaky and tricky creatures. Unlike Aaracockra most Kenku fall into a Corvian likeness of Crows or ravens. It is unheard-of to find a Kenku of anything different, Though their patterns and shapes do vary they are almost always akin to corvians.
Unofficial Sub-Species
Though there is no Ofically decleration of subspecies there are many who have made and argued about an un-officially classification.
- Pariotta
- Aarakocra who resemble parrots and other foraging birds. Cocaktoos, Locakeets, Macaws etc.
Avian-Folk Sub Species
Aarakocra
Source:
Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse, Pg 6
(Supplement)
A Species of Avian people that have been around since ancient times but only recently been considered as citizens of the land. Aarakocra are very rare in Felwind however their personality and attitude tend to make it so you will never miss one in a crowd. Much like normal birds, Aarakocra are showy, loud, colourful and often very positive.
Much like their fawna counterparts, Aarakocra come in a massive variety of species ranging in size, colours, diets, and all manour of other things. There are so many variants that rather than separating them all they have mostly been lumped together as Aarakocra.
The largest population of Aarakocra can be found in Griaca
Kenku
Source:
Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse, Pg 24
(Supplement)
An avian people born of a curse. Direct descendent of the first Raven Queen though when she failed to meet her duty she was shattered into countless splinters, These Splinters birthed the first Kenku. Cursed beings without the ability to fly or speak but over the generations they have thrived in Felwind
Kenku only every appear as variations of Corviads. Crows, Ravens, Vultures etc. A Kenku falling outside these traits is undocumented in Felwind
Harpy
Source:
Arcadia: Volume 12, Pg 6
(MCDM)
A Monstrous species of Avian-Folk, Harpies come in a few different forms but they share several traits. They are always Female and they have strange magical voices they use against their targets.
Despite their rather infamous reputation Harpies are as intelligent as other monstrous races such as Goblins but are not see wielding weapons or building traps. some say its because Harpies have no need for such feats while others say it puts into question their intelligence. However on multiple occasions they have been known to speak a handful of different languages.
