Kjeldoran

The **Kjeldoran** (pronounced “kel-DOR-uhn) are a very rare winged offshoot of Humans. While “classically” beautiful to look at, they have very few redeemable qualities. An ever secretive and guarded people, their total population in Avantia is widely unknown. After being nearly wiped out during the Cleansing War of the Enduring Age, the Kjeldoran are no longer well established in Avantia. Only one major Kjeldoran colony remains: Strattera. Smaller settlements or colonies may remain but their numbers and locations remain a well guarded mystery.
The rare individual that ventures away from their colony will create a stir wherever they go, which is not always a good thing, since the species has acquired a number of historical enemies. Any group traveling with a Kjeldoran will be remembered for certain.

The Kjeldoran believe in the superiority of their race above all others and typically consider all the other race's to be weaker and inferior. Their society is very rigid, and orderly guided by tradition and ritual, but built around what other races call Social Kjeldoranism. From youth, the Kjeldoran are instilled to believe that they are the purest race, and there for the master race. Their racial upbringing gives them a narrow view on the world, clearly delineated in black and white. It is not uncommon that some Kjeldoran put themselves above even the worshiping of the gods, considering it a sign of weakness to have to depend on such beings. They have an internal racial hierarchy which separates members of society into one of three castes. To be of the highest social caste a Kjeldoran must be white, have blue eyes, blond hair and bear white wings. These members of the race call themselves the Celestials.

The Kjeldoran appear as powerfully-built humans with flawless skin, beautiful features, and feathered wingspans. They are slightly taller than humans on average, ranging from well over 6 feet tall to just under 7 feet and are only marginally heavier than humans. Kjeldoran coloration tends to be of light skin due to selective breeding while eye colors range the normal human spectrum. Kjeldoran have no facial hair and very little body hair. Their plumage partially denotes their place in society which ranges from the purest white to more subdued colors, usually brown, gray and black.
