Homebrew Aldaar Species Details

Born into the western coastal regions of the continent of Iveris, this human sub-race has a natural ability to control the positive Aether that runs through the world. Manifesting this power into a physical form by turning the pure Aether into feathered wings. Each Aldaar has an innate ability to slightly control a small part of the Aether that exists in the world around them. This ability has led the Aldaaran race to many technological advancements by way of using the positive Aether to forge their weapons, armor, tools and even the literal building blocks that hold up their civilization. The Aldaar vary in appearance from hair color to bone structure, the only distinguishing feature of an Aldaar is that of their faintly glowing blue eyes. Depending on the purity of an Aldaar's connection to the Aether, their eyes may be a more intense darker blue or in rare cases completely white.

The governmental structure of the Aldaaran cities is that of a council ruled monarchy. The King rules from the Capitol city of Hondar and governs the laws within the city while the council handles affairs outside the walls. The Aldaar have a friendly relationship with some of the Tassian cities that are near the northern borders of their empire, but they maintain no relations with any of the other races on Iveris. The Aldaar remain "supposedly" neutral, holding nothing but indiffereance to most of the other races. A long standing myth that influences most of the older Aldaar is that the Darcci were once a part of their race that fell to the darker vices of the world and lost their wings.
