Aven are a race of sapient, anthropomorphic bird folk. They are found throughout various planes where they may also be known as owlin or aarakocra.
Aven of Alara
The royal family of Valeron on Alaran Bant consists of falcon-like aven. Some Mortar-caste believe Bant's aven are related to the angels. The Kathari are a race of scavenging vulture-people native to Grixis. Black-winged creatures with a bald vulture's head and humanoid arms and legs, they circle Grixis's skies in search of sites of mass death. They are in constant competition with the native necromancers for corpses, who sometimes let them act because they believe the kathari cleanse bad luck from the dead. Their religion, called Skive, states that only those dead whose skeleton has been completely cleansed from flesh have a chance to enter the afterlife. As such, the Kathari treat their scavenging lifestyle as a holy calling.
Aven of Arcavios
On Arcavios the owl-like Aven are known as Owlin. They are associated with all colleges of Strixhaven.
