Selviens

Selviens is a fictional species from the tabletop role-playing game Pathfinder. They are a race of avian humanoids known for their distinctive feathered appearance and their strong connection to the wind and sky. Selviens typically possess the body of a slender humanoid, but with avian wings that sprout from their shoulders, allowing for flight. Their heads are often bird-like, featuring beaks and expressive eyes, and their bodies are covered in a variety of feathers, the colors and patterns of which can vary widely among individuals and communities.

The Selvien culture is deeply intertwined with their ability to fly. They often build their settlements in high places such as mountaintops, cliffsides, or large trees, providing easy access to the open sky. Many Selvien societies are nomadic, following the winds and migrating with the seasons. They are known for their agility, keen eyesight, and a natural sense of direction. While generally peaceful, Selviens are fierce defenders of their territories and allies. They often have a spiritual reverence for celestial bodies and weather patterns, with shamans and clerics playing important roles in their communities. Their lifespan is comparable to that of humans, and they mature at a similar rate. Selviens are often depicted as curious, adventurous, and possessing a somewhat detached perspective due to their aerial vantage point.
