Aukfolk

Description
The frozen lands of Husweagua were home to the aukfolk, a race of squat, tundra-dwelling humanoid birds known for their large, colorful beaks and close-knit culture.

Power of the Tribe. Although some Pexian anthropologists considered aukfolk culture simple and lawless, these birds demonstrated a proclivity for unification. An aukfolk tribe, when pitted against a threat that pushed the limits of what a lone tribe could normally handle, would work with sister tribes to combat the threat.

Followers of Imes. Most aukfolk revered a god named Imes, the God of Strength. In aukfolk mythology, Imes stood against Vapul and beat back the demon's chill winds by playing his Great Drum, Astus. Although the wounds Vapul caused never fully healed, Imes rid Husweagua of the demon's destructive presence. Life in the north continued unhindered.
