The bane of spelling students across Sapience, the Aeraithian Falls are a community of winged humanoids on the southern cliffs of the Vashnars. The inhabitants are only five feet tall, are covered in thick brown fur, and have a small pair of wings on their back that they use for gliding. Their faces are marked by large ears, small noses and bright blue eyes. The village itself was long undiscovered because of its isolated location, and little is known of the ways of the Aeraithians. They seem to practice a religion which holds the water of the falls sacred, as well as the element of Air. Notable figures around the village are Elnai, the village Elder, Lordar, the Watcher, Hemternos, the hunter, Isidore, the school teacher, and the village Shaman. The residents do not speak particularly good Common, and their words are often changed to sound more like their native tongue. For example, the word "nice" is instead pronounced "nitsk."

The village layout is rather strange, because it is built vertically up the cliffs, and is often confusing for visitors who are accustomed to flat layouts. The native people are very welcoming to outsiders who find their way to the village.
