Way of the Keen Bow

Many Aarakocra tribes make roost high in the mountains. The early Aarakocran settlers of these areas sought to escape the constant toil of bloodshed they encountered in the low lands. While violence was rarer in these new lands, their new opponents presented a much more fierce threat, be they Goliaths or any manner of beast hardened by the dire environment. In order to adapt to these new enemies, the Aarakocran warriors learned to adapt their ability of flight to a terrifying effect. Over generations, their feathers grew silent in flight and their eyes grew keener. They also grew to consider their bow and quiver as extensions of their body. Tribes built grand flight ranges to hone their skills, and the truest archers slowly became headmasters. After generations, rumors of the winged archers of the mountains spread in the lowlands, but few have ever been present to witness the prowess of the Aarakocra.
