Description:

They live in the crags and hills next to Battleground of the Giants in Zamarra and have adapted well to these conditions of the Aetos heights, from where they receive their name. Long ago they developed artificial wings which they are proficient in using and as such have been termed flying elves. They have developed apart from their woodland cousins and their culture includes the development of certain games. One such game, known as The Game, is played within a huge stone stadium encircling a smooth green field. A team is made of 5 males and five females. The two teams compete to carry a circular rock across the opposing team's territory. Each player plays individually against their opponent. They must move twelve paces, four times, whilst the opponent tries to stop them with body blows.
