You are a humanoid bird-like being, known as the Yeglaw, hailing from the floating island of Celesteon, and the ancient enemy of the Dragla. Eons ago, your kind usurped the Dragla and exiled them from their and your ancestral home, conquering it. Very rarely are your kind ever seen on the surface world, as you have remained walled in on the floating island and kept to yourself. Whatever has brought you to making the trip down to the surface, you are looked upon with disdain, as the stigma of what your kind did to the Dragla sticks to you wherever you go.
Your body is a bit barrel-chested, given the muscle and bone structure required to power your sizable wings. But Despite this, your weight is easily about half that of a normal human of similar size, due to your hollow bones and lean frame. Also noticeable are your feet, being the talons of a bird. Shoes? You don't need no stinking shoes! Shoes are for those walkers!

Civilization and Culture
History
Ages ago, the Yeglaw once shared the floating island of Celesteon with the Dragla, supposedly peacefully, or at least as their forebearers have told the present day Yeglaw, as the stories go. It is said that the Dragla started a war with them for dominance of the island and the Yeglaw forebearers cast them out. However the Dragla dispute this and tell an all different story. Whatever the truth of the matter is, the Yeglaw and Dragla today are very antagonistic and hostile toward one another. Will anyone ever be able to bring peace back to these people?
