Aeraithian Falls

The bane of spelling students across Sapience, comparable only perhaps to the likes of Zsarachnor, the Aeraithian Falls houses a community of winged humanoids in the cliffs of the Southern Vashnars.

Geography

The Falls can be found at the end of an icy river that flows through the Vashnars. The village itself is built vertically into the cliffs overlooking the Sapphire Ocean. The layout of the town, however, can be quite confusing to outsiders, as it is quite different from traditional villages.

People

The village is inhabited by a race known as the Aeraithians. They are a short people, usually only five feet tall. They are covered in a thick, brown fur and have a pair of small wings on their back. They are unable to fly, though they can use the wings to glide from building to building. Notable Aeraithians include:

  1. Lordar, the Watcher
  2. Elnai, the Elder
  3. Hemternos, the Hunter
  4. Isellea, the school teacher

Culture

The Aeraithians have their own native language, which is not well known by the outside world. They speak some common, but many have a fairly thick accent. For example, the word "nice" often becomes "nitsk." The inhabitants practice a religion that holds the waters of the Falls sacred, and they also revere the element of Air. A local shaman seems to be the religious leader, spending his time creating magical concoctions. The main food source for the village is fish, which are collected by fishermen on the rooftops. The village leaders are friendly and welcoming to outsiders, though the average villager may be a bit shy.
