Homebrew Animalfolk: Birdfolk (Diurnal) (Falcon) Species Details
Though made by the earth god Gaeis, Birdfolk are seen as divine contradictions—ground-born beings that yearn skyward. Their bodies are light but their spirits sturdy, reflecting both gravity and grace. Aeolis, god of wind, is said to love them dearly, often sending breezes to guide their wings. Harpies consider Birdfolk to be their soul-siblings, and some ancient myths suggest both were born from the same well of starlit feather and loam.
Swift as arrows and fierce in battle, falcons patrol mountain passes and trade winds alike.
