Skyfolk
Also known as: Airfolk
Appearance
White and blue butterfly-like wings that blend with the sky, so they are sometimes mistaken for Fae creatures. Apart from the wings, they look like any other Hearthkin. Very tanned from a life spent mostly outdoors in direct sun.
Abilities and traits
Clan color is yellow. Adapted to the cool air of high altitudes, they find warm or hot air on the ground uncomfortable. They also fly airships and hot-air balloons.
Society and customs
Live on aerial platforms and small airborne cities that move very slowly from place to place. Villages and towns can sit on smaller floating platforms. There can never be so many platforms that sunlight to the ground is blocked.
Relations with others
A clan of the Hearthkin. Airfolk is an acceptable rural alternative name. Older notes call them Avirah.
Notes
One of the four clans of the Hearthkin People.
Floating cities
- Sky clan cities float on amber crystals. A city-size crystal takes 100 years to grow, and a city may need hundreds to build or expand, depending on its size.
- Growing time is the only limit on the number of cities. The number is undetermined, and two is a good starting point.
- The Skyfolk grow the amber crystals themselves. See Crystal and Rune Magic.
- A Skyfolk could be mistaken for a Fae.
