Homebrew Featherfolk Species Details
Featherfolk
Once a powerful and prosperous people, the featherfolk were one of many races to almost be wiped from history during the The Gruzokh Slaughter. Though they managed to survive, due to wicked experiments their naturally growing wings are left little more than a burden.

Seasonal Wings
Featherfolk nowadays suffer from an eternal cycle. Each month their wings will turn red as an autumn leaf only to fall off. They then painfully regrow over the course of a week only to reach their peak before repeating the cycle. Each stage takes a week.
Keepers of history
As one of the oldest races, and survivors of one of the most catastrophical events in history Featherfolk are naturally inclined towards preserving lore through art and documentation.
