	Living Together		*Living Together
	Harpies really value living in communities, with their colonies made up of tight-knit social groups. Each colony operates like a connected family where everyone has a part to play. They are super loyal to their colony, putting the group's well-being first. This community spirit is reflected in their strong social ties and the importance of working together for survival.		**Harpies really value living in communities, with their colonies made up of tight-knit social groups.

	Wisdom of the Elders		*Wisdom of the Elders
	In every harpy group, the elders are seen as the wisest and most respected members. While their roles might vary a bit—like being spiritual leaders for Wetland Harpies, advisors for Cliffside Harpies, and mentors for Canopy Harpies—they all act as the guiding force for the younger members, sharing their knowledge and experience. Elders teach the young ones essential survival skills, whether it’s hunting, navigating their surroundings, or dealing with outsiders.		**In every harpy group, the elders are seen as the wisest and most respected members.

	Flight as a Symbol of Freedom		*Flight as a Symbol of Freedom
	Flight is a huge part of harpy culture in all groups. It represents freedom, strength, and their identity. Whether they’re soaring over mountains, gliding through trees, or skimming across water, harpies take pride in their flying abilities. Flying is often tied to rituals, celebrations, and important life events. Young harpies go through intense training to perfect their flying skills, and achieving certain flight milestones is celebrated as a big step toward adulthood. There are tales of flightless Harpy’s, but such a phenomenon seems to be incredibly rare.		**Flight is a huge part of harpy culture in all groups. It represents freedom, strength, and their identity.

	Hunter-Gatherer Lifestyle		*Hunter-Gatherer Lifestyle
	All harpy communities live off the land, embracing a hunter-gatherer way of life that taps into the natural resources around them. Hunting is a key part of their culture, and those who are skilled at it earn a lot of respect. Different harpy groups have their own hunting styles—Cliffside Harpies dive down on mountain animals, Canopy Harpies sneak through the trees, and Wetland Harpies plunge into the water for fish. Regardless of the method, hunting is always a top priority. Gathering is also important, as harpies collect materials for their nests, tools, and decorative items from their environment.		**All harpy communities live off the land, embracing a hunter-gatherer way of life that taps into the natural resources around them.

	Simple Material Culture		*Simple Material Culture
	Harpies from all tribes take a straightforward approach to their belongings. They like to wear natural or simply made accessories that showcase their surroundings—think feathers, bones, stones, and plants. Their focus is more on usefulness and meaning rather than accumulating wealth. The items they create often carry cultural or spiritual importance, like a necklace from a successful hunt or a feathered headdress that represents leadership.		**Harpies from all tribes take a straightforward approach to their belongings.

	Non-Verbal Communication		*Non-Verbal Communication
	Harpies heavily rely on non-verbal cues, using body language, gestures, and bird calls to communicate. They do pick up languages from nearby races for socializing, but within their own groups, they often express themselves through subtle movements, wing flutters, and sounds that mimic birds. This way of communicating is especially crucial during hunts or when they need to stay under the radar from predators, allowing them to work together quietly and effectively.		**Harpies heavily rely on non-verbal cues, using body language, gestures, and bird calls to communicate.

	Strong Independence		*Strong Independence
	While harpies are dedicated to their communities, they also cherish their independence. Each harpy values their personal freedom and often follows their own instincts, even if it means bending the rules a bit. This independence is balanced by their commitment to the colony's welfare, creating a harmony between individual desires and the needs of the group.		**While harpies are dedicated to their communities, they also cherish their independence.

	Once considered to be the most venerable beasts to thrive upon the mortal plane, this ancient bird like race was strewed across the main continents of the old worlds, predicted to have been crafted by the lost God [[~~Venti\|Venti~~]] himself so they may ride the gusts of wind in exploratory harmony. Having been nomadic throughout most of their longevity, they spent the majority of their lives learning from their experiences on and above the terrain they became adapted to.		[[???]]

	The beginnings of their existence proved to be a gradual incline of knowledge, but it never came to them overnight. Even before the extensive dominance of the [[Hestark\|Hestarks]], the Aervans lived in secluded peace due to their dispersed numbers, believed they had purely thrived off their worldly discoveries with the assistance of their specially keen eyes and naturally adapting intelligence. They easily developed into the world they had been surrounded by, having no need to alter the land in order to satisfy their wants, and from this grasped a better understanding of the lands in purest form. Believed that they had appeared with the sole purpose to pass down wisdom from one to the next, the Aervans ingrained their findings into clay and wood to keep their records known and relevant, yet soon matured to writing on parchment.

	The quickly changing world, however, was not gracious to the astute Aervans. As other competing races began to integrate their way into these landscapes, the knowledgeable avians slipped into paranoia of becoming hedged in their own environments. These free form winged creatures with intelligence that ascended above all others were losing their once established grip on Aversia, and their rooted habits soon became disrupted. Assembling into coalitions of their own kind, maddened with both anger and sorrow their wholesome lands were becoming warped under the many hands of others, they ascended to the skies along with the majority of their written findings. Fathomed with the realization they could not traverse their homeland like they once could, they stowed away in extensive heights of mountain ranges, away from the imperious desires of others.

	Relations with these ancient beasts have always proved to be complex due to their general limited exposure. Scholars of the now multitudinous cultures have derived from these creatures their odd solitary mannerisms, though some have become envious enough to try and locate their libraries which have been believed to be undisclosed to everyone besides their own kind.

	The libraries of Aervans are said to be preserved, kept within the vast heights of mountains- and therefore, monasteries are commonly crafted by architects of the race.

Built strategically to remain sturdy atop peaks, a monastery is usually constructed from stone, a resource easily found among their environment.

They are the most prominent age group that often fills their libraries with official writings, a much more excitable lifestyle to that than a youngster. The children of Aervans do not have large purposes, often the ones to sort and organize the libraries and strictly taught how to read and write at very young ages. While they do learn mainly under their parents as well as the Lauger, fledglings really began the purpose of their lives once they have reached the Litterateur age of independence.

Scholars of the now multitudinous cultures have derived from these creatures their odd solitary mannerisms, though some have become envious enough to try and locate their libraries which have been believed to be undisclosed to everyone besides their own kind.

==Physical Description==

Aervans are most simply described by a commoner as 'bird men', notably embellishing a beak on the fronts of their faces and having wings that connect at the shoulder blades. Said too to have swift maneuverability in the wind, the Aervans' abundance of feathers, which flow across their entire upright body to aid in flight, varies in many different shades and patterns such as stripes or spots. Their impressively large wings, which connect by the shoulder blades, are several feet longer than their own standing height. It is this size that gives them the capability of flight. Gloves and shoes are never needed for an Aervan, as their forearms and calves thin from feathers into rough-textured skin. Only four-fingered on both hands and feet, Aervan sport hooked claws that are prevalent on the end of each appendage. This allows them a firm grip on even the narrowest of surfaces.

Though capable of gliding with the help of these avian features, their overall body density is similar to that of elves Therefore they grow tired faster than a regular bird while flying. To somewhat circumvent this, clothing is often light; often only wearing thinner fabrics in order to keep their aerial flexibility intact. Adorning these lighter robes, Elders often bear clothing made from uncommon textiles that have been gifted. While Aervans are able to wear heavier plating, flying is proven impossible under their weight.

*Common Height:
**Male: 5'8"- 6'2"
**Female: 5'2" - 6'
*Common Wingspan:
**Male: 7'8" - 9'2"
**Female: 7'6" - 9'
*Common Build: Ectomorph, Mesomorph
*Common Eyes: Black, Browns, and Blues
*Common Feathers: Black, Browns, Grays, White, Russet, Golden

==Culture==

Beneath the Lauger, and making up the majority of Aervan culture are the Litterateurs, known as varying ages of adults that have not yet ascended to the Elderly position. Being the sole purpose of exploring, the Litterateurs embellish themselves with vigorous studies, mainly learning from the teachings of their Elders and from their own experiences of performed expeditions. They are the most prominent age group that often fills their libraries with official writings, a much more excitable lifestyle to that than a youngster. The children of Aervans do not have large purposes, often the ones to sort and organize the libraries and strictly taught how to read and write at very young ages. While they do learn mainly under their parents as well as the Lauger, fledglings really began the purpose of their lives once they have reached the Litterateur age of independence.

==Mechanics==

*Lifespan: 135-175 years old on average.
*The Aervan are capable of flight should they be light enough to do so. On top of such, it is difficult to the point of infeasible to fire ranged weaponry during flight, much less aiming it.
*Aervan are able to detect storms with their feathers, able to alert them to ground themselves bad storms or otherwise during flight.
*Aervan do well in colder climates due to their high ranging homes. Their feathers containing a large portion of this heat retention.
*Aervan have four fingers which end in talons. Whilst sharp, these are not as opposable as human fingers and thus lose a lot of their finesse.
