Description:
None → The Zrietas is a race of bird-people who were (mysteriously) and magically evolved from a species of (eagle-like) raptor which predominantly lives around the mountainous peaks of Mount Jornia. They have retained much of their avian characteristics such as their beaks, raptor eyes, feathers (full body), wings, talons and a feathered tail after their sudden evolution. However, that’s where the similarities end with their feral counterparts.
The uplifted Zrietans are bigger (6 ft avg. - 7'5 ft for biggest specimen), have more of a humanoid body shape with a different digestive system, thicker bones, special vocal cord, dexterous hand-talons with opposable thumbs and most important of all - a much more developed brain capable of complex decision making, problem solving and advanced cooperation with others of the same species. They are now partially-omnivorous (they could consume both meat and plant matters, but meat is still easier for them to digest), their thicker bones means they are now more durable, their hand-talons are capable of manipulating different objects in the surrounding environment and their brain allow them to band together, to strategize, and to be more than just savage beasts. It is their vocal cord that sets the Zrietas apart from the other races though - as the sound they make is not simply the screeching of a bird. It now follows a certain melody, is clearer and easier to comprehend - and as other races describe it - sounds like a beautiful song that no one would get tired of hearing.
This evolution also comes with a cost too - their wings can no longer generate enough lift to bring them to the sky, as they only now use it as a glider when they want to get down to less elevated terrain (like a flying squirrel). Furthermore, this magical evolution has severely hindered their ability to cast and learn spells.
