Owlin

• Reputation: Owlin are regarded as formidable and stealthy forest dwellers, admired for their silent flight and hunting prowess. Their nocturnal habits and preference for solitude contribute to a perception of them as enigmatic and aloof.

Culture

Owlins prefer the relative simplicity of the forest to the machinations of society and politics. Despite these individualistic tendencies, they are capable of forming familial and community bonds that transcend a permanent or single physical home.
Owlin culture is largely based on principles of might above all, but not necessarily for the purposes of combat. Protecting and providing for others in hard times is considered just as impressive, if not more so, than winning a fight.
Owlins are quick to call out when someone is not doing their best for the common good.

Characteristics

Physical features

Owlins are one the most imposing of the birdfolk races. Resembling owls, their thick feathers, solid bodies, and broad wings have earned them a reputation as the most powerful of the birdfolk races.
Owlin have arms and legs like other Humanoids, as well as wings that extend from their back and shoulders.
Like owls, owlin are graced with feathers that make no sound when they move or fly, making it easy for them to sneak up on you. Their mottled feather patterns, though not as bright or beautiful as others, allow them to easily hide in the forest. Due to this inherent advantage, along with their speed and power, owlins make excellent hunters and rangers.
Owlin tend to be nocturnal, or at the very least are prone to rose late, giving them the nickname of night owl.

Owlin

The beings commonly known as Owlin are, in truth, a dinstinct lineage within the Owlin heritage. They possess large wings that extend from their backs, granting them the natural ability to soar through the skies with ease.

Strig

Strig are a distinct lineage within the Owlin heritage. Unlike their winged cousins, Strigs do not have wings sprouting from their backs and lack true flight. Instead, their feathered arms allow them to glide gracefully, enabling safe descents from great heights.
