Heronfolk (Ardei)

Overview

  Native to the many wetlands and river shores of southern Chondath, the Heronfolk, in general, get along very well with humans, another species with great variation and a love of art and music, and those who live in urban, human-dominated areas find passable niches as quickly as possible. In their natural habitats, they form stilted villages and subsistence fish to survive, coming into conflict with the harsher inhabitants of the swamps only in self defense as they are very physically delicate.   Loa’s Name - Kunda, location unknown. (Cleric)
