Wymirs

"Quote about Wymirs." - Person Quoted

Wymirs are hunched, feathered humanoids who predate all other civilised races in Aarn. Wymirs are renowned for their vivid and colourful plumage, which covers their backs, arms and legs, in stark contrast to their grey, leathery skin. Wymirs also possess claws and talons, and the top parts of their faces taper forward into a hard, pointed overbite, much like a beak. They are slightly shorter in stature than Humans, and possess the sharpest eyesight of all the known races.

Despite their many avian features, Wymirs are not able to fly. However, this has not hampered their fondness of heights, which they are utterly fearless of. Inversely, Wymirs often feel vulnerable at ground level, and will never dare to venture underground. Wymirs have numerous settlements spread throughout the Valley of the Wymirs, the largest being ???.

Reclusive and rarely seen by those outside the Valley, Wymirs live a fairly primitive lifestyle, and are content to keep it that way. The males rarely set foot outside their villages, devoting their time to farming, cooking and maintaining the upkeep, whilst the females venture out to hunt and forage, adorning themselves with shawls of woven leaves to camouflage their bright feathers. Occasionally, a female will venture beyond the valley to trade in small trinkets and jewelries, some of which incorporate their own feathers, but they show no desire for tools or money.
