Description
Created from the winds of Skyfall Canyon, out in the Scalded Deserts and spreading through the mountain ranges, this magical drake was a powerful weapon in the Great War, calling great gusts of wind to repel ranged weaponry and attacking with the force of a biting gale. After the war, most of the drakes returned to Skyfall Canyon, where they found homes. Some returned to Rhymorra in search of a greater power to serve. Others entered the Ethereal Plane, seeking isolation after the bloodshed they had witnessed, though this led to the corruption of many of these drakes after they realized that there was greater power to be found in the Ethereal Plane.
Winds of Change. Air Drakes rarely stay in one place, traveling far and wide to discover more about the world around them. They tend to bond with those who also wish to wander the world, taking them on adventures to explore the great unknown. Some say that Air Drakes take those who wish to explore to the Forgotten Isle. When these companions die, the Air Drake leaves behind all worldly possessions except for anything that it can wear, such as a bracelet or necklace, and moves on to continue adventuring.
Magical Connection. Because they are found in the air of Skyfall Canyon, Air Drakes are connected to Ether, the god of magic and winds. This connection grants them a unique understanding of magic: they are the only Drakes that know Theurgian. Air Drakes are often sought out because of this knowledge, but these Drakes will only teach Theurgian to those who they bond with. Some attempt to capture Air Drakes, but Air Drakes are rarely easy to catch as their air magic gives them the ability to become like air for a period of time.
Companion Bonds. When the Air Drake bonds with a rider, they allow that rider to cast some of their magic. Their companion can cast the following spells: Feather Fall, Warding Wind. If a rider doesn't have a spellcasting class, they use one ability score of their choice to cast these spells.
