Astrisk Kome, Winged Fusilier |
At first glance Fusilier's seem like a human, especially if seen from the front and their wings are folded. While typically they are waved off as a form of Aarakocra or Aasimar, those who do so would be wrong, as Fusilier are different in many ways. The first is the location of the wings in the lower back, along with a large feathered tail that allows them better ariel skills than the other two races. the next is the obvious lack of feathers outside the wings and tail, as well as a lock or talons compared to the Aarakocra. Sadly when using their wings they can resemble the Aasimar, though a closer inspection will prove them to be different.
History
Believing themselves secluded from the other races of Faerun, the Fusilier have maintained several settlements over the continents. Still, this seclusion is far fetched, as they have fought in numerous wars beside the other races of the realm, and do not believe themselves to be above anyone. They do however have no respect for laws that cause others to suffer and have ended up stirring up trouble on pilgrimages.
Society
The fusilier have done well for themselves and are more nomadic than other races, preferring to live around mountains and other high areas. While some permanent settlements exist these are mostly filled with elders, children, and parents. At an early age in their adult lives, Fusilier are encouraged to make a long journey either by visiting other settlements or exploring the lands. Some choose to never return to there villages.
Fusilier have become adept in trade goods, mining, clothing, and lumber are traded with other settlements belonging to a variety of races as they do not commonly hold malice for any race.
