Summit of the Wolf: The Spring Eagles
It is time for the third highlight of the upcoming Summit of the Wolf. This month, I will discuss another of the races you will encounter in the game, the spring eagles.
Spring eagles are a noble and highly intelligent race that suppresses all emotion. Cold and xenophobic, they care only for their own kind and not the outside world. Spring eagles do not speak but instead posses a form of telepathy, through which they communicate among themselves and to others. This manifests to outsiders as a faint whisper that seems to emanate from one’s inner ear. Though not outright aggressive, they are highly territorial and will attack if provoked.
The spring eagles were once split into dozens of clans, all fighting amongst one another in warfare over their land. This ended when one particular spring eagle, a young hero named Coeus, taught the clans the Five Pillars of Intelligence and convinced everyone that there is no value in fighting. He united the clans, who now live in peace as one nation. To commemorate the teachings of Coeus, an Eternal Fire burns in the Chieftain’s home, where it has burned for hundreds of years.
The spring eagle live among the ruins of an ancient civilization deep in the center of the Caves of the Forgotten. A pit of bones lies on one edge of the lair, the remnants of the victims who were unfortunate enough to stumble upon the eagles. While the spring eagles used to spend their days in Echo Falls, they are now forced to remain in their subterranean home, because a horrific spell gone wrong has caused the sun to disappear and forever be replaced by the moon–even in the day–and moonlight will turn the eagles to dust.
Next month, I will tell you about one of our protagonist’s companions: the cion hunter named Roluk.
