## Mulawins of Avila

### **History**

Before the Spanish colonized the Philippines, a race of avians that look like humans had lived in the forests where they grow their strength from trees and nature. When the human population grew bigger and bigger each day, the demands for resources and space for them to live at increased too. The humans started cutting down trees for resources and space, which forced the Mulawins to live on Mt. Apo in their territory known as Avila. They were known as the Mulawins. It was first lead by Dakila, the third child of Mandarangan and Sandawa. They are known to be the guardians of nature and air and they defend them.

Since the humans have started to pollute the Philippines, a group of Mulawins lead by Ravenum didn't agree to have peace with the humans and have created their own kingdom and race known as the Ravenas.

For years, Ravenas wanted to rebel against the Mulawins and fight with the humans. Which starts the epic Mulawin saga.

### **Types of Mulawins**

There are three types of Mulawins. They are known as the **Pureblooded Mulawin,** the ***Tabon*** or **Half-blooded Mulawin,** and the ***Mulawin-Blooded Encantado***.

#### ***Pureblooded Mulawin***

Pureblooded Mulawins are given birth if his or her parents are of course, pure-blooded Mulawins. They can easily be identified through their appearance alone. Their eyes are green, they have a *palong* (or cockscomb), and they have brilliant and more colorful feathers as opposed to the Tabons.

#### ***Tabon***

Tabons (from the filipino word "Tao" which means human and "Ibon" which means bird) are half-blooded Mulawins and half-blooded mortals. They are given birth if one of his or her parents is a mortal or also a Tabon and the other is a pureblooded Mulawin. They also used to be weak sometimes. They can be easily identified, as if a pureblooded Mulawin has a *palong* (or cockscomb), a female Tabon only has a cockscomb at the center of her head and a male Tabon only has feathers on his head and in his hair.

#### ***Mulawin Blooded Encantado***
