> *"It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive."*

House Avia are true free spirits. They are often the life of the party, but they are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others.

More than just sociable people-pleasers though, they tend to see life as a big, complex puzzle where everything is connected – a prism of emotion, compassion and mysticism, always with a deeper meaning.

Fiercely independent, and much more than stability and security, they crave creativity and freedom.

Many others are likely to find these qualities irresistible, and if they’ve found a cause that sparks their imagination, House Avia will bring an energy that oftentimes thrusts them into the spotlight, held up by their peers as a leader and a guru – but this isn’t always where independence-loving want to be. Worse still if they find themselves beset by the administrative tasks and routine maintenance that can accompany a leadership position. House Avia's members is dependent on their ability to come up with original solutions, and they need to know that they have the freedom to be innovative – they can quickly lose patience or become dejected if they get trapped in a boring role.

Luckily, they know how to relax, and they are perfectly capable of switching from a passionate, driven idealist to that imaginative and enthusiastic free spirit on the dance floor, often with a suddenness that can surprise even their closest friends. Being in the mix also gives them a chance to connect emotionally with others. They believe that everyone should take the time to recognize and express their feelings, and their empathy and sociability make that a natural conversation topic.

However they rely too much on their intuition, assume or anticipate too much about a friend’s motivations, they can misread the signals and frustrate plans that a more straightforward approach would have made simple. This kind of social stress is the bugbear that keeps harmony-focused House Avia awake at night. They are very emotional and sensitive, and when they step on someone’s toes, they both feel it.

The air is all-encompassing, and the wind is its strength. Quick as the wind, the Avia House is one of the fastest houses in Sornieth. Perched at the edge of a mountain, they are always watching for their next prey. Join this house if you are eager to fight and fierce on the attack.

## Other Houses

Outgoing Houses will naturally gravitate towards House Avia, and they have the closest relationship with House Sylvan, both of which are outgoing, people oriented Houses. Their ability to tune into others and speak their language with that characteristic infectious enthusiasm means they are also on excellent terms with the more reserved House Nautica.

Their sensitivity makes it challenging to play with more critical and argumentative houses, such as House Crag, House Lucian and House Glacius.
