Arven

The Arven are a humanoid species.

Appearance
Arven are on average 1.90m. They generally have long and skinny arms and legs and a light complexion, although there are exceptions (e.g. Solarven and Shellarven).

Feathers
Around 15% of Arven grow feathers on their head. This is a genetical occurance, and as such is passed through generations in families.

Most royal or cleric families are feathered, and are very protective of their linage.
