Avanilah

Cliff faces force your peripheral vision to adjust to the lateral terrain. Winds howl and whistle between the towering spires. You hear a sudden rush of the wind from above, a swift shadow passing over before you can see what it was. After some travel, you finally find a plateau to rest and make a small campfire on, guarded by a few boulders from the wind and chill. You sit and rest believing you’d be alone, after some time however you hear the sound of cloaks and rustling of other climbers. You sit up to prepare for the intrusion, but you are not greeted by any malice. A small group of travelers approach and turn down their hoods asking to sit by the fire with you. You agree, seeing no harm in sharing the warmth nor point in denying them. Upon their hoods being turned down and the fire close enough to light them, you see a crow-like face as well as an owl-like face, the third of their party seems to be like a hawk. Avanilah, also known as bird kin are a grouping of three bird-like races, Hawk being the rarest, Owl, and the most common being Crow. They are mountainous and high treetop terrain dwelling groups who are varying in their lifestyles. Crows are the most tribal/Nomadic whereas Hawks are more like hunters or rangers and Owls are usually gentle natured and noble, owning libraries and traveling for the sake of exploration to bring back to their hollows for record and writing.

Crow kind

The most common of the Birdkin, Crowkind are a very straight forward people. They are fantastic at scavenging and long term travel survival in most environments due to having a very forgiving metabolism and can travel one and a half times, if not twice the distance of a human on the same amount of supplies. They normally live in small tribal groups with a simplistic hierarchy. The crowkind do not often build much beyond huts and if they are found in more developed villages, it would most likely been a previously abandoned village the tribe came across in their travels. Crowkind speak in incredibly broken common. "Name is T'vashah!" "Give, that, here." "What that, there?" *Pointing*

Physique

Crowkind stand short with an average height of about 4.5 feet tall. They have forward leaning heads with raven/crow like beaks and black eyes. Their hands are feather covered talons and their feet are similar to that of a raven or a crow.
