Avanars - The mysterious (some say mythical) winged folk of
Shaintar.  They are descendants of a species of Fae that took up
residence upon Shaintar; as such, they have much in common with
Fae.  There are two places reputed to be home to a fair number of
these beings - Last Home and Bastion.  They are an elusive people,
many of them embittered, because their kind was almost hunted to
extinction by the Kal...for sport.  It was custom for Warlords to
cut the wings of captured or killed Avanars from the bodies and pin
them to their war banners.
