Wildling Type: Tirruu

Proud and stubborn, the Tirruu are a Wildling Bird-People who live among soaring mountain ranges and snow-capped peaks. Though they tend to stay isolated from inhabitants living at lower elevations, Tirruu are known for their love of music and fondness for hardy travelers who make the arduous climb to their mountaintop homes.
"Bastion couldn't decide whether he feared or loved the mountains of Kyrale. True, he was frighteningly afraid of heights, but at the same time his best friend Riko was a Tirruu, and boy did those bird-folk know how to put on a grand ol' time. Plus, word in the valley said that a traveling storyteller from a place called Guudala had stopped to rest at one of the Tirru's villages for a couple of days and promised to share a few stories and plays. With Riko's parents hosting dinner and exciting tales waiting for him, Bastion pulled his backpack straps tighter and, making sure he had packed enough rations, started the long trek upwards into the mountains that Riko called home." -A young Durgon's journey to visit a Tirruu friend.

• Airborne Glider. Using your feathered arms, you can slow your fall and glide short distances. When falling you can use your reaction to spread your arms, stiffen your wing feathers, and slow your descent. While doing so, you continue to fall gently at a speed of 60 feet per round, taking no fall damage when you land. If you would fall at least 10 feet in this way, you may fly up to your movement speed in any direction you choose, although you cannot choose to move upwards more than 10 feet, landing in the space where you finished your movement. You cannot glide while carrying heavy weapons or wielding a shield (though you may drop any held items as part of your reaction to spread your arms). You cannot also glide while wearing heavy armor, or if you are encumbered.
• Wing Flap. As a bonus action, you can use your powerful feathered arms to propel yourself upward a distance equal to half your movement speed. You can use it in conjunction with a regular jump, but not while gliding.

• Feathered Protection. Your plumage keeps you warm in freezing temperatures. You can tolerate temperatures as low as −50 degrees Fahrenheit without any additional protection. If you wear heavy clothes, you can tolerate temperatures as low as −100 degrees Fahrenheit. However, you have disadvantage on saving throws to avoid taking exhaustion due to temperatures reaching above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
