Ever wanted wings?

Post by Psyco » Thu Feb 02, 2006 9:05 am

Well now they are just one painfull explosion away.

Avlis' newest playable race, the Avariel are just waiting for you to roll one up. You only need to visit the Le'Or start tent golem to be able to play one of these winged elves that were forgotten for so long.

There are not even any pesky stat or feat changes to worry about, so what are you waiting for?

And if you have no idea what I am talking about, the IC stuff.
The Avariel are a race of winged elves. They were in hiding for nearly two centuries, but have recently returned and begun to repopulate.

Avariel are graceful and lithe, and their wings make them look much like angels. They tend to be kindly and love freedom above all things. The race was recently restored after an ancient curse was broken, and they are becoming a common sight once again. Though the deity who created them was destroyed and forgotten long ago, the Avariel now have as their patron deity Cha'reth, God of Peace and Healing.

So you just roll up an Elf, and poof, you get wings? You are still an elf in feats, and eligibility for Arcane Archer PrC? X:|

you roll up an elf, talk to the golem, let him turn you into a pile of little elf pieces and you will be a winged avariel, yes.

And in this case you are still eligible for arcane archer.

Don't worry, it's still very special for them... and anyhow, they are the ones who brought the Avariel back, which is what earned them the wings. So they can look at the new PCs with pride. :)

Now we can capture an avariel and slowly pull out the feathers one by one.

I have been trying to find more details about the Avariel, but have not been successful yet. I found a lot of mention of them, but few details.

So far, I have that they are Elves (with wings of course) and their Deity is Cha'reth. I am assuming they are likely to be predominantly CG? They are likely to be gentle and caring - and not too keen on Drangonari. :wink:

Do they have any special restrictions on colouring or abilities please?

Any special preferences for Class - maybe Cleric or Druid - or even Mage?

I plan to make one of these as soon as I get home this evening (stupid work) - I would prefer that he or she does not stick out like a sore thumb due to an inappropriate selection of details. :?

If you read through these notes, you will get some idea of how the whole Toostan-Grantir war went down.

http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=70795


The end result: Grantir won, and killed just about all the avariel, so they thought. Unfortunately, they paid a price. An avariel commando team, with the help of some Titanian fairies, managed to infiltrate Grantir during the war and destroy their artifact which was protecting their city. (You can read about it in the notes.) The destruction of that artifact destroyed much of the underground structures of the city and had a magical backlash that eliminated the wings from all the drangonari that were down there, which was most of them. They were called back to the city to beat down the uprising by the avariel and titanians within the heart of their fortress.

Hey, not everyone who got wings as a reward got them for doing something nice. :twisted:

Of course, mine still look unique among PC's, too. ;)
