Bird maidens

The Bird Maidens of Rabiah are winged human women, capable of flight and renowned for their beauty. 
==Description==
Bird maidens have their true home in the myriad realms of Rabiah. Their sparse homes are high in the craggy caves and outcroppings of rock created by the constant winds and updrafts of the deserts. 
Bird Maidens are a beautiful, all-female tribe of winged humans who procreate with non-winged male humans. Their offspring are always twins of the same gender, and if male, are without wings, while if female, with wings. After they give birth, the bird maidens raise the daughters themselves but leave their sons in a nearby village under the custody of people living there. Any Rabian village that finds abandoned twin boys will adopt and honor them, due to legends about the strength, luck, and magical talent of bird maidens' sons. Bird maidens hold their birth sisters dearly, although they seldom feel a true kinship to their siblings.
The bird maidens practice an art known as wind sculpting. They place diamond dust in sharply funneled bone tubes and tie them to rock formations. The wind blows the dust against the stone, causing it to erode faster than usual. Eventually, over several years or decades, a sculpture appears.Encyclopedia Dominia - Bird Maiden (archived)
Legend has that a bird maiden, by the name of Fyhra, was instrumental in the destruction of the Eater of the Infinite, one of the Serendib Efreets, bent on exterminating all life from Rabiah.Encyclopedia Dominia - Eater of the Infinite (archived)
