Owlfolk

Owlfolk

Society

---

Owlfolk tend to be efficient and intelligent in their designs and machinations. They are ruled by a leader with the title of Talon Lord, who consults a Council of Feathers. They are a society of wizened hunters, essentially. Older owlfolk who can fly usually accompany fledglings on the ground to catch what they allow to escape. They put these skills to work in their villages usually built within the confines of pine forests and chilly alpines, preferring colder weather. The virtues of efficiency and knowledge allow for them to be excellent trappers and procurers of the best game, which they sell in trade to others. Owlfolk are fairly peaceful, and they are social enough with many other races within proximity. They do not have any grand world net of connections however.
