The Whispering Peaks

An isolated mountainous terrain, south of the continent next to the Ceeldruguya Jungle, little is known about this area unless you are from it. Home to the few tribes of Aarakocra, this region has served as a chokepoint between Vaidris and the Moaning Gardens, preventing any travellers from reaching the Ceeldruguya Jungle by land. The Aarakocra people are of which you belong. Traditional in their beliefs and traditions, temples are constructed at the tops of these mountains by stone but are not lived in as caves are utilised as shelter for these tribes. The temples are not exactly used for religious beliefs as the Aarakocra don't believe in the typical Gods of the pantheons of Doeyar, but instead believe in the spirituality of their souls. They believe that through time away from their temples, their souls slowly become corrupted and if they don't return to meditate in these sacred buildings they will be corrupted with evil. Those that don't attend meditations, are less trusted and respected and are seen as outcasts to their society. These temples themselves circle around one main temple with a tall tree in the centre of it. They believe this tree unites them to their souls, which they believe is trapped past the skies. This tree has lasted for centuries, for longer than these Aarakocra tribes have lasted as they originated from the Aborrior Peaks before arriving here. The tribes are rather divided however, the main tribe of "The Bounders" who dominate the temples they hold. The other tribes who struggle to find their meaning and spirituality as the Bounders hog the temples for themselves, "The Denners", "The Scavengers" and "The Callows". These tribes are currently at war with each other for possession of the "Chained Temples" and many of them have been powerless to dethrone the more pompous and stuck up Bounders. The war has gone on for years now and things have settled in recent years but now, the discovery of the rotting of the Spired Tree and the desperate attempts of the other tribes to attain spirituality unknowing to the slow descent of the Spire Tree will lead to a desperate power struggle which will decide the fate of the Arakocra people in Vaidris. Tensions have grown high and some members of the tribes have been sent out to search for a solution to their predicaments. Being a part of this origin grants you the following benefits:
