About this ancestry

Vaelkyn are avian humanoids that dance through the skies. They possess feathered winged arms, which they use to glide through the air and call upon the wind to generate currents that carry them. Vaelkyn range from 5 to 7 feet in height on average, and their arms are often longer than those of most humanoid beings. Their ears resemble feathers, and their legs can vary from human-like in appearance to mighty talons. Their overall appearance can be more or less avian or humanoid, with features such as a beak or feathers covering much of their body. On average, they live about 135 years.
