Vandria Gilmadrith Is the Daughter of Corellon Larethian, the Only Child Spared the Drow Transformation Vandria Gilmadrith is the daughter of Corellon Larethian, the only child spared the drow transformation. She is a member of the Seldarine (group of good and neutral gods lead by Corellon) and is the only lawful aligned elven deity. The shadow of her mother's darkness hardened her heart. She resides with the Seldarine in the Outer Plane within the Olympian Glades of Arborea (mildly Chaotic / mildly Good). The top layer of Arborea is Arvandor, home of the Elven Court of Corellon Larethian. Arvandor is a place of great open spaces beneath the trees. Within these canopied clearings lie the settlements of the Chosen of Arvandor, engaged in an idealized elven life. In the day there are hunts and challenges, in the evenings feasts and tales told around the fire. Vandria’s hidden fortress is located within the thick forest of Arvandor away from the chaos and unending merriment within her father’s tower. Since most creatures in Arborea are Celestial or Anarchic we can presume that the creatures around Vandria’s fortress are Axiomatic.

  • Aarakocra Sequestered in High Mountains Atop Tall Trees, the Aarakocra, Sometimes Called Birdfolk, Evoke Fear and Wonder
    Aarakocra Sequestered in high mountains atop tall trees, the aarakocra, sometimes called birdfolk, evoke fear and wonder. Many aarakocra aren’t even native to the Material Plane. They hail from a world beyond—from the boundless vistas of the Elemental Plane of Air. They are immigrants, refugees, scouts, and explorers, their outposts functioning as footholds in a world both strange and alien. Beak and Feather From below, aarakocra look much like large birds. Only when they descend to roost on a branch or walk across the ground does their humanoid appearance reveal itself. Standing upright, aarakocra might reach 5 feet tall, and they have long, narrow legs that taper to sharp talons. Feathers cover their bodies. Their plumage typically denotes membership in a tribe. Males are brightly colored, with feathers of red, orange, or yellow. Females have more subdued colors, usually brown or gray. Their heads complete the avian appearance, being something like a parrot or eagle with distinct tribal variations. Sky Wardens Nowhere are the aarakocra more comfortable than in the sky. They can spend hours in the air, and some go as long as days, locking their wings in place and letting the thermals hold them aloft. In battle, they prove dynamic and acrobatic fliers, moving with remarkable speed and grace, diving to lash opponents with weapons or talons before turning and flying away. Once airborne, an aarakocra leaves the sky with reluctance. On their native plane, they can fly for days or months, landing only to lay their eggs and feed their young before launching themselves back into the air.
