Homebrew Avariel Species Details
Avariel ("aril-tel-quessir" or "Al Karak Elam" in the elvish tongue, meaning "winged folk") were among the first of the elf races to migrate to Faerun. They are more delicate than their earth-bound cousins, with hollow bones to aid their flight. They have pale skin, often porcelain white. Their eyes are slightly larger than normal and range in color from brilliant blues to green or purple. Most notable of all of the avariel's physical characteristics are their wings. Broad and feathered, they can span up to 10 feet when fully extended. They are usually white, but could be black, brown or speckled. Avariel are known to practice the dyeing of wing tips.
Avariel are said to have the most beautiful voices of all the elves, and their songs are greatly sought after by bards of other races.
