As with all myths, any or all of the myriad of stories told about these gods may have a smidgen of truth in them. As the myth goes, she raised him to godhood so she could abide with her love forever. Syranita, Morning Feather (Monster Mythology)Įlevated to become the creator and All-mother protector of the Aarakocra in Monster Mythology (1992) she supplanted Krocaa who became only her mate and inferior to her. Portfolio: Hunting, Aarakocras, defense, combat He is directly connected to the elemental plane of air and is obviously worshiped by the Aarakocra (Aearee-Krocaa of Faerun) as ‘all-father’ of their race.Ĭlerics and Paladins are obvious, but a ranger worshiper of Krocaa would make sense seeing that one of Crimson Feather’s domains is hunting. He himself had the visage of the eagle with golden wings and deep scarlet head plumage lending to his godly symbol of the red feather. Written up in DRAGON #124 (1987), Krocaa is touted as the creator and only god of the Aarakocra who fashioned them as evolved eagles. KROCAA, Crimson Feather (Dragon Magazine #124) This differentiates the three nicely and makes more sense as we breakdown the different dieties. At one time, along with the Aearee-Krocaaa (which reminds me of Aarakocra) were the Aearee-Syran and the Aeree-Quor. But the Aarakocra that we have now are a generalized peoples allowing the DM and players to use their imaginations as to what look the avian has. The Kenku and the Aarakocra are, of course mentioned. I say races because they came in a myriad of types most of which are not written about in detail. What follows are the forgotten gods of the skies.ĭuring the dawn of Faerun, one of the creator races to settle it were the Aearee races.
But what if I told you that before the days of Wizards of the Coast there were winged gods, ancient and primordial? There were powers worthy of worship of the winged and deities worth following. An Arakocra cleric or paladin of the Wind Dukes would be appropriate. Of course, there are hints in the write-up that point to the Wind Dukes of Aqaa (for both) although it seems that the Kenku may have betrayed those powers long ago.
But there’s not a lot of information concerning the spiritual beliefs of these avian races not the gods they worship. That being said, there’s a lot of flavor with these options, both in personality and combat options. The details are in the minds and hands of the individual DM. Either way, this is the simple way of the new edition. But, as with many things in 5E, Wizards leaves a great deal of details in the hands of the DM. Kenku (Volo’s Guide to Monsters) and Arakocra (Elemental Evil Player’s Companion) were opened up early in 5E as playable races. Some of the most of imaginative have wings. There’s a lot of great types of creatures to be played in D&D.
