“

The one feature shared by all cloudkin is the capacity for flight, be it wing-, aether-, or gas-assisted. There do exist several rare species that, for one reason or another in their long line of evolution, have forsaken the skies and instead taken to lives upon land or even in the sea. The apkallu is one such example.

The foremost feature that defines all cloudkin is the capacity for flight, be it wing-, aether-, or gas-assisted. Since time immemorial has man looked to make use of this unique trait, training birds of all shapes and sizes to follow him into both war and the wild—an endeavor not limited to the cultures of the West, but practiced the world round.

Cloudkin are winged creatures all, but those wings do not necessarily bear them across the skies. Many have been bound to the land by the vagaries of evolution, and more bred for their feathers and meat.
