Description
Aetherhawks are majestic, ethereal avians with four slender wings, their feathers shimmering like the northern lights—iridescent blues, purples, and silvers shifting across their sleek bodies. They are built for speed and precision, with long, aerodynamic forms and sharp, intelligent eyes that glow with an inner luminescence. Born alongside an Air Genasi and bound by fate, an Aetherhawk is more than a mere mount; it is an extension of its rider’s spirit, able to sense emotions, communicate through shifting air currents, and, at the height of its power, summon storms that shake the heavens.
