You have lived among the peaks, where the air is thin and the wind speaks in whispers only the faithful understand. Whether born to the Skyrend Covenant or adopted after proving yourself worthy, the sky claimed you. You are a windborn—sharp-eyed, free-spirited, and swift as the storm.

You have a natural sense for altitude, wind patterns, and aerial routes. You can always tell which direction the wind is blowing and from what source (natural or magical). You can find safe roosts, ledges, or glide paths in most natural cliff or mountain environments without requiring a check, unless conditions are extreme.
In addition, members of the Skyrend Covenant, sky-worshipping cultures, or aerial beast tamers recognize your windborn status and may offer aid, shelter, or warnings if you reveal your heritage.
Suggested Characteristics
Windborn live with their eyes on the horizon and their spirits tethered to the storm. They are curious, perceptive, and free-thinking—but grounded in deep respect for the sky’s power.
