-The [[lore:races:avians|Avians]] include Eufalconi, Harpidans (Verraerians), Terravians (Spheniscines), and Akvo'avians. This species hails from the planet Chysyl on the plane of Jaern, and is a relatively new species on Cahyali. Despite being the rarest species on both planets, these feathered friends are unforgettable folk when they do appear.

 ==== Hybrid Races ====
-Through various physical and magical processes, hybrids between any of the races are possible. These range from more common mixed lineages such as half-human, half-elf or half-orc, half-goblin - but also include rarer hybrids that cross species, such as dwarvish sandtails, or draconic terravians. (To hybridize across species, the //Unique Parentage// perk is required on your character sheet.)

 Jaern is additionally home to a race of intelligent and psionic beings called [[lore:races:onivero|Onivero]], native semi-aquatic mammals, who have more advanced technology than the other races of Jaern. Historically reclusive, the Onivero have just begun to reach out more to the rest of the world and interact with other folk.
-Onivero are very rare among adventurers, with next to none having engaged in the profession before the 10080s. However, they are out there; Onivero adventurers may simply believe in the value of connecting with others, have lost their villages, or are sent on a quest of some form by their community.
