[edit] Physiology

Avians are for most part, human in appearance. The most distinguishing aspect of this race however are the feathered wings that appear from the shoulder blades of their back. Avian wings are usually black, or white and sometimes white with black dappling, giving them a 'dirty' look. Their eyes usually take on the appearance of the regal, piercing hues of birds of prey, usually amber in color, though this is not always the case, and quite commonly have regular colored eyes like those of humans.

[edit] Psychology

Avians are not ones to take kindly to insults. They are usually quick to react and known to hold grudges. Avians are vindictive, and always believe in justice at any cost as well as and doing the right thing. Avians are slow in letting on their true intent, or the truth of their words, often confounding those they speak to by telling them only a little, then allowing them to try and piece together the truth or placing a half truth with a lie to confuse those they wish not to know their intent. Avians believe all other races are below them as no other race can match their astounding intelect.

[edit] Avian Society

The Avians are a patriarchal society, preferring to follow a single male leader as opposed to the usual pairing of a female and male monarch. All males are considered soldiers of the Avian Empire from birth to death, or severe damage that would prevent them from service. The females of the society are seen as the care-takers, though they are not barred from combative service. The ratio of female fighters compared to male is very small. When not engaged in war, Avians take to patrolling the skies, which they see as their dominion alone, and shall attack any they see within the regions of the heavens as enemies, predominantly those of the Dragon race.

[edit] Avians & Religion

Being of arrogant disposition, Avians tend to worship themselves more than deities. Though they have aligned themselves with powers of light, they consider themselves allies of these powers rather than worshipers.

[edit] Avian History

70,000 Years ago The Royal Avian Empire is formed in a city within the clouds but remains hidden. They are among some of the oldest races in the land.

The floating city of Krizar crashes in southern Hollow creating the barren deserts, this is due to human resources being funelled to their war effort and a large scale attack from the Avian Empire.

Solaris is revived and returns to his original form of Shael leader of the royal avian empire and manages to re-seal Elazul once more earning the scorn of many of the vampire, undead and dark races in the process. (The Fall of Solaris)

With The Fall of Solaris, the Royal Avian Empire seemed to vanish. This is not the truth, and felt with the leaving of Shael, once more, that their time within the public eye of the world should come to an end.

Many years after the 'vanishing' of the Avians, Demont Roussai emerges, to return the glory of the Avian Race back to the face of Hollow.
