Homebrew Ashar Species Details

Native from Elysium, the second plane of The Seven Steps, Ashars are the result of the union of an aarokocra and a human. Sadly, this union in Elysium is forbiden since it is the custom to believe that the Aarakocra are the closest being alive to their God : Armadyl, the God of Justice, and will only bring the Arakocra farther from their goal of ascension. Because of that, Ashars are badly regarded in Elysium and most of the time disregarded as lesser being and often seperated from the rest of the population. Even so, Ashars are trained and taught the way of Armadyl and his beliefs.
