"Harpy feathers glisten like the sun on a calm sea, but don’t be fooled by their beauty. Those talons have torn many a brave soul apart."
—Captain Marek Ironclaw, Dwarven Sailor
==History==
==History==


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 origins of harpies are wrapped in mystery, with countless myths and tales about how they came to be, just like the many types of birds out there. They’re mainly split into three groups: Cliffside Harpies, Canopy Harpies, and Wetland Harpies. Each group has adapted to thrive in totally different environments—mountains, forests, and wetlands, respectively.


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.
Cliffside Harpies make their homes in the mountains, living in large colonies on steep cliffs. Their culture revolves around flying, hunting, and living together, deeply connected to the rugged landscape they inhabit.
Canopy Harpies are found deep in ancient forests, crafting their nests high up in the trees. They’re smaller and more agile than their Cliffside relatives, perfectly suited for navigating the thick foliage.
Wetland Harpies have adapted to life near large bodies of water. With webbed feet instead of regular talons, they’re great swimmers. Their society blends both flying and hunting in the water, making them stand out among their kin.


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.
As time passed, these harpy groups started to spread beyond their original homes, mingling with other cultures. Some encounters sparked conflicts, while others were filled with curiosity and sharing. As they absorbed new ideas, harpy societies evolved, but many still held onto their strong identities and ancient customs.


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.
Harpies that stick to their colonies often don’t have traditional names; they’re known by their roles or the colors of their feathers. Those who venture out and meet other cultures usually pick up names from the people they meet, creating lively communities with a mix of cultural influences.




==Physical Description==
==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.
Harpies are a fascinating mix of human and bird traits. Their upper bodies, outside of swapping out arms for large powerful wings, look almost entirely human but may have a few tufts of feathers here and there. Their lower bodies are more closely tied to those of birds, with large feathered legs ending in varying styles of bird feet. Their looks can change a lot based on their type:
Cliffside Harpies are built for strength, sporting broad wings and sharp talons that help them soar high and catch their meals. They tend to be bigger and sturdier, with feathers that match the rocky cliffs they call home.
Canopy Harpies, on the other hand, are more slender and quick, designed for agile movements through thick forests. Their feathers are often bright and colorful, making it easy for them to blend in with the vibrant foliage.
Wetland Harpies are perfect for life by the water. They have webbed feet for swimming and their feathers are usually water-resistant, often reflecting the colors and patterns of the water around them.
 
*Common Height
**Cliffside Harpies
**Males: 5'0" - 6'6"
**Females: 4'8" - 6'2"

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.

Aervans were often high believers of Venti, instinctively tentative to the direction of the winds. They cherished the prolonged gusts which are a constant force that stroke the mountain ranges, having faith that large blasts of air are were signal to assume travel and exploration, as they are able to move longer distances with the aid of these gales. During these times of ventures, Aervans are thought to be those who watch the skies and those down below, silently observing the clusters of civilization they rarely made contact with.
Each group of harpies—Cliffside, Canopy, and Wetland—has its own unique cultural practices influenced by their specific surroundings. Still, they all share some common cultural traits that unite them as a species.
 
===Common Cultural Traits===
*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.
*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.
*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.
*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.
*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.
*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.
*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.


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. The carefully chosen locations of these buildings are propped upon exceedingly difficult areas to reach while on foot, though certainly no trouble for the winged beasts. Built strategically to remain sturdy atop peaks, a monastery is usually constructed from stone, a resource easily found among their environment. These buildings are dated back many decades, as these ancient housings have been cleverly yet sluggishly made to last for years on end. While living within them, the Aervans also made more use of these establishments to store away their writings. Often placing their scholarly studies on scrolls and stored away on shelves, they properly organize them from the oldest to the newest, or the other way around.
==Group-Specific Cultural Traits==
===Cliffside Harpies===
Leadership and Respect: Cliffside Harpies operate with a clear hierarchy where the top hunters and fliers gain the most admiration. The elders play a crucial role as strategic guides, leading hunts and protecting the colony. Strength and stamina are highly valued, and younger Cliffside Harpies go through tough training to earn their place.
Rugged Living: Nesting high in the mountains, Cliffside Harpies carve out their homes in cliff faces, using their strong talons. Their shared spaces are practical and tough, focusing on utility rather than decoration.


Aervans can be excessively sociable around their own kind, crafting their own limited and loose hierarchy among each other. Elders, referred to as 'Lauger' among these people, are immensely appreciated and respected. The wise and knowing minds of these older people are deeply admired, and it is considered rude to regard them as a simple commoner, but should be acknowledged as someone of importance. Those younger than them often bestow them with gifts, such as the fabrics of Silk or [[Sagesilk|Sagesilk]] which are deeply cherished not only because of the elegantly soft textures of the cloth, but because they are difficult to come in possession of.
===Canopy Harpies===
Agility and Stealth: Canopy Harpies excel in agility and stealth, essential for navigating thick forests. The elders teach the younger ones how to move quietly among the trees and leverage their surroundings. They tend to be more secretive, keeping their distance from outsiders unless absolutely necessary.
Artistic Expression: With a deep appreciation for the forest's beauty, Canopy Harpies often use vibrant natural materials in their nests and communal areas. They embrace artistic expression, crafting intricate designs with feathers, leaves, and flowers that harmonize with their environment.


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.
===Wetland Harpies===
Adaptability and Fluidity: Wetland Harpies are the most versatile of the three, thriving in both air and water. Their elders often serve as spiritual leaders, linking the colony to the nearby water bodies. Flexibility and creativity are essential traits, as Wetland Harpies frequently come up with innovative solutions to environmental challenges.
Spiritual Practices: Living close to water, Wetland Harpies have developed distinct spiritual rituals that celebrate the life-giving essence of water. They engage in purification ceremonies, water rituals, and honor aquatic spirits, showcasing their profound connection to the wetlands.
