Saetori

The Saetori have been a part of Aldebaran for as long as anyone can remember. Having most likely originated from the continents of Wom'lai and Eoyecuan, they have a slightly above average population size compared to other sentient races such as gnomes and kobolds. With their natural dexterity combined with their aerial mobility, they enjoy a position high upon the foodchain. The Saetori are a highly social race as well, quite commonly forming houses and clans to provide support and strength to one another. Originating within the mountainous regions of western Isrem they were one of the original founders of the Wrekuinao Dynasty with Humans, Oreads, and Vanara. Saetori quite often view other races with haughty attitude. While the Saetori will tolerate their presence, they are somewhat xenophobic. They particularly dislike Dwarves and Oread, finding their personality unrefined and "like that of a rock".
Saetori are very caste centric, with certain clans being higher than others among their society. A clan may be focused in the arts of weapon crafting, and chicks of a clan are expected to be raised into the next generation's blacksmiths. Likewise, a clan of higher status may choose their calling and even co-opt another clans responsibility, although this is a considered a great offense. It is rare then, to find a lone Saetori. As they would likely themselves not admit to being clanless, the greatest mark of shame to a Saetori is to be disowned from one's clan. Saetori within the Wrekuinao Dynasty typically have light colors, and meat-eater beaks. It also so happens that these species of Saetori are strictly carnivourous. The Saetori of Eoyecuan are quite different, being herbivores.
