Homebrew Birdfolk Species Details
The skies of Valley are home to fl ocks of birdfolk who are as diverse in coloration as they are in personality. Birdfolk help connect the animalfolk to one another, carrying mail, delivering aid, and even transporting other animals across Valley. At their best, birdfolk are chivalrous, stalwart, and sel fl ess. At their worst, birdfolk are self-important, stubborn, and patronizing.
Birdfolk magic is primarily for aiding and supporting their allies on adventures. Birdfolk learn magic early on in their lives, typically taught by an elder that they purposefully seek out to learn from. Alongside their academic teachings comes an ethical framework, The Wingbeat Way, which instills a lifelong commitment to use their magic for the common good
Birdfolk are incredibly collaborative and adventurous. They prefer to take the role of inspiring healers, knightly frontliners, or aerial scouts. Their confidence leads them to find roles as project leaders and diplomats.
