Aarokra

The winged people known as the Aarokra where destined to rule the sky. These birdlike humanoids once had a great empire ruled from fabled sky citadels, floating cities of wonder. For unknown reasons, the Aarokra disappeared and their empire crumbled. These days, only one of these sky citadels still stands proud; the temple of Faenya uses this place as the Sky Sanctuary and the holy center of their fate. Rumors say that there are other sky sanctuaries through the void, hardly recognizable by millennia of decay. What happened to the Aarokra is still a mystery, but many believe that harpies and other winged humanoids are the offspring of their bloodline.
