Introduction: Native to the Malatran Plateau, Aarakocra literally means “one who has the freedom of the skies.” Most other races call them ‘Birdmen’.
Physical Description: Aarakocra stand 5' tall with an average weight of 90 lbs and a wing-span of 20'. About halfway along the edge of each wing is a hand with three human-sized fingers and an opposable thumb. The ‘pinky’ actually extends out some 10' to complete the wing. The Aarakocra are terrified of enclosed spaces.
Lands: Aarakocra thrive in the Forbidden Mountains beyond the Yaku Plains (the Plains Of Ash). This area is among the most dangerous in all Malatra, populated by, among other horrors, man-scorpions, spider katanga, and ash spirits. The placement of their warrens (communal nests) ensure the Aarakocra survival among the craggy and sometimes cold peaks of their homes, though violent wind storms and invisible wind shear claim aarakocra young every season.
