Zarathustran eagle

The Zarathustran Eagle is the current city guardian of Ashtan, having replaced the Guardian of Chaos as Ashtan shifted further away from Chaos and more towards the ideals of freedom. It has the ability to fly, which is somewhat unusual for city guardians, but is also a bit weaker as a result. The Zarathustran Eagle was created when the Guardian of Chaos and the soul of Zarathustra merged while repairing the damaged Well of Chaos.

Zarathustran eagles have been featured as charges in Ashtani heraldry and other symbology since long before the Modern Age. Depictions of symbolic eagles bearing broken manacles have been found on hoplite armour dating from the third cycle of the Ashtan-Shallam Wars.
