Summary[]
Aarakocra are denizens of the Elemental Plane of Air that serve the Wind Dukes of Aaqa. They stand as constantly vigilant scouts and warriors protecting against both invaders of the Elemental Plane of Earth (most notably against gargoyles) and worshippers of Elemental Evil (in their case, Yan-C-Bin). They are duty-bound to eternally attempt to restore the Wind Dukes of Aaqa to their previous state of power as vaati, which was lost when fighting against the Queen of Chaos, the former ruler of the Abyss.
