Aviar
World of Origin First of the Sun

Aviar are a class of bird on First of the Sun native to the Pantheon archipelago.[1] Aviar is a term the Eelakin use for any bird that has magical powers and is capable of sharing those powers with humans.

Source of Powers

These birds have gained magical powers on account of consuming worms native to the islands while very young. Each power is different for species of bird. Kokerlii has the ability to conceal his mind and those of others around him from beasts that hunt by seeking out minds. Sixth of the Dusk raised a non-native bird on the isles, Sak, and found that she also developed powers.

Aviar birds raised outside the Pantheon do not develop these unique powers.
