Ive Got a Golden Feather
Brief:
Reporting's of a ten-foot golden inlaid feather of Syranita gusting about the plane of air have made their way to the guild. This feather has a few prophecies about it and thus none of them are probably correct.
Background:
While the aarakocra primarily serve the Wind Dukes of Aaqa, they do have their own beliefs and legends. Chief among these stories is the legend of their creator deity, Syranita, who once flew the azure skies of the Plane of Air in majestic freedom. She created the aarakocra out of a rare cloud she discovered, and the result were a race of noble bird folk with a strong belief in good and justice. Like her people, Syranita never settled down, and the beat of her wings took her from the elemental planes and beyond. Plane of Air 27 Through some calamity, Syranita’s power and influence declined rapidly. Different tribes of aarakocra have different versions of this downfall. The aarakocra of Aaqa blame Syranita’s fall on the forces of chaos, while others say she fought a mighty battle against a powerful Elemental Lord of Earth, destroying her foe but losing much of herself in the process. Whatever the truth, Syranita returned weakened to the Plane of Air, and she knew that her time was running low. She flew higher and farther than any creature had gone before, and there she discovered a cloudstone island far removed from much of the realm. With her most loyal followers at her side, Syranita laid down upon the cloudstone island and never woke up again. Her body become a holy aerie, sacred to the aarakocra and tended to by her loyal followers and their descendants. The Aerie of Ancient Feathers was born from the passing of Syranita, creator of the aarakocra, and sometimes an actual feather descends from the distant site to visit good fortune upon one of her people. Some aarakocra don’t believe the Aerie of Ancient Feathers is real, and that it is only a myth, while others claim to have set clawed foot upon its sacred ground. Borealis Radiance Deep
