Shaintar: Aeries of the Aevekar Guidebook
Shaintar Guidebook: Aeries of the Aevekar "The wars of the Ground Walkers have taken their toll¸ too many of our people lie dead and broken on the cold hard earth. We must¸ for our own sake¸ retreat and take stock -- our place is the high aeries of our forefathers¸ the give of Zavonis" ~ Kelos Nom Zerinian: 1741 A.C. The history of the Aevekar is fraught with these winged fae dying on behalf of those who walk the earth. They were once found everywhere on Shaintar¸ yet there are now only a few thousand left hidden in secret communities in the most difficult locations. The Kal-A-Nar Empire has declared genocide upon them after the death of the Emperor's favorite sone so this may not be a bad thing. Even though scattered¸ some few leave the aeries each year to take their place among the Rangers¸ or fight alongside their fae brothers and sisters against any evil focused upon the land. In this book¸ you'll leanr the story of what happened to these folk and how they've survived. There's some new gear¸ edges¸ professions and you'll get a good look at what their lives are like within their homes. Scattered they may be¸ but these are among some of the best bowmen ever seen and they created aerial combat. Take a tour of the aeries and learn a few secrets about the most hidden of them all - one no aevekar would ever admit exists. Learn of their food¸ drink¸ society and what they find entertaining or artistic. It shouldn't be surprising that wind instruments feature prominently in their music. While they aren't militarily inclined¸ everyone learns to fight and serves as protection for the aeire they live in. Their death rituals are particularly beautiful given their close relationship with Zavonis¸ Ascended of air.
