Aarakocra

The aarakocra came to this plane during the Nightfall, tribes and families travelling through large rifts either by accident or on purpose. Now trapped here, the aarakocra of Eorin have adapted from their original ancestors. Due to the greater gravity compared to their native plane their bodies have grown heavier over the generations to compensate, their leg muscles getting stronger and their bones becoming denser. Due to this they can no longer fly, unable to lift their weight using just their wings for any period of time. Their wings are not useless though, able to boost them further than any other humanoid could jump, as well as allowing them to glide down safely from heights.
They are small in number, tending to live in remote areas as part of wandering tribes or deep in the mountains and forests. The last century or so has seen some of the aarakocra migrating into native civilisations, but they are still a rare sight.
