Aarakocra

"Sequestered in high mountains atop tall trees, the aarakocra, sometimes called birdfolk, evoke fear and wonder. Many aarakocra aren’t even native to the Material Plane. They hail from a world beyond... from the boundless vistas of the Elemental Plane of Air.

They are immigrants, refugees, scouts, and explorers, their outposts functioning as footholds in a world both strange and alien." - A census of Hijr, by Mel Atoniin, Chief Genealogist at the Spire.

Freedom loving, and far ranging, the Birdfolk known as the Aarakocra are well known, but rarely seen. Living in distant mountain villages, their tribal societies are secretive, but also strangely welcoming of outsiders. Bright colors and naturalistic art are key features of their culture.
