It is unknown whether more exist, but at minimum these 9 do. To avoid confusion the following section will refer to the Strygarii in the format of [Nature of their magic] Strygarii: [Elemental counterpart]. |

+ | |||
+ | Roaming the Khaiguul Steppes and Ala’Ura Plains of Akhior, Icaba is known for its violent temper, and aggressive movements. Icaba is known for the way to slam into the ground, leveling entire areas. Icaba’s plumage is large and almost entirely black, the feathers running across a strong muscular body. Their beak has a strong downward hook that can cleave the land apart and spear into other creatures that work in conjunction with their talons that have been known to squeeze the life out of an elephant. | ||

+ | //Moldan, The Waking Guardian// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Flying over the southern lands of Nidaior, Moldan serves as a guardian for landmass, as anyone who comes into the area will soon see the sky rain blood as they find themselves beset by diseases, the likes of which their immune system has never had to combat. Moldan themselves looks almost like a large puffy cloud moving over the land. While at heart they are one of the more kind Strygarii, they remember the devastation of the Stormwing Calamity all too well and as a result, they refuse to let outsiders onto the continent from the south. Moldan seems to be immune to any sort of disease. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Striding across the middle section of Nidaior, Itlys, stands as a 2000 foot tall heron, its feather’s shed, composed of many colors, combining to emit a powerful white light across the planes. No one is able to look at Itlys directly without going blind. That being said, it's common for people to take the feathers that have fallen off of its body and use them as a light source in their homes. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Hunting in the northern isles of Akhior, the Firewalker has a body similar to that of a water rail, though with much longer legs like a heron or a crane, capable of wading through the colored waters of northern Akhior. Ọkụntu’s body is a rustic red, with wings that fade more into a metallic black. Its beak is also made of metal. Ọkụntu hunts by starting fires on the land to force the creatures into the water where they become easier to hunt. It’s also capable of starting fires on the water, often causing animals to burn or drown. | ||
=== Death Strygarii: Holeh === | === Death Strygarii: Holeh === | ||
+ | //Kitala, The Patient// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Perching upon the Igwetiti Isles, Kitala is perhaps one of the most terrifying of the Strygarii as living beings around Kitala are known to suddenly drop dead. There are no warning signs, one second an animal is standing and then it collapses, its heart stopped. Oftentimes this happens in droves, making cities difficult to establish in this area. The body of Kitala themself looks compact, similar to that of an owl, they tend to keep their wings close to them as they perch, their eyes watching the land below them. | ||

+ | //Ohtun, The Sleeping Eruption// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The bird of fire sleeping in Mount Logi, while sleeping it’s body could easily be mistaken for a piece of charcoal, a dark grey body curled in on itself. But don’t mistake its sleeping body as a vulnerability, | ||

+ | //Ennan, The Composition// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Roaming the Eastern Greatwood, Ennan is a somewhat calmer Strygarii, partially owing to the fact that instead of a single entity it’s a swarm of smaller birds. The birds that make up Ennan look similar to a lyrebird, though their tails, rather than looking like a lyre, looks more like an adungu with a line of large tail feathers that curl upwards near the bottom and many smaller transparent tailfeathers above the large one. It’s well known that Ennan’s music has an effect on the environment, | ||

+ | //Qoa, The Shadow// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Flying across the sea, Qoa is the most enigmatic of the Strygarii, never landing and never staying in one place for very long, people are not sure how Qoa feeds itself. All accounts of Qoa are largely the same, a large silhouette of a bird in the sky, with spiky feathers at the ends of its wings, and talons large enough to carve the land in two. Qoa, will fly over an area, bringing thunderstorms with increased amounts of lightning in its wake. It will fly under the sun, turning the day into night. Sometimes it will circle an area, causing constant bouts of darkness, before eventually leaving. No one has managed to converse with Qoa in many years. Additionally, | ||
