Syrinx

Robed in silk and its own regal wings, this humanoid assays its surroundings with the lethal detachment of the owl it resembles.
From lofty monastery-cities entrenched in soaring cliff sides and high mountain valleys, the syrinx seek to bring peace to all lands that fall within sight of their homes. Erudite and aloof, the owl-like scholars embrace art, philosophy, and nebulous faiths, seeking to distance themselves from a history of barbarism and ruin.
