Iblink
"When the Birdlords leave their home, then heavy weather is on the way." -Ancient Dragon Saying
The Iblink are a race of birdfolk, who have become recently known to the continent of Khorvaire. Hailing from the depths of the continent of Xen'drik in the world of Ebberon, they have become a crucial resource to the Dragonmarked Houses, for they make excellent scouts.
Lords of the Skies
The Iblink resemble humanoid birds, with plumage and features similar to those of Earth’s birds of prey. Their bones are hollow, allowing them to fly. In ancient times, they served the giants, alongside the Elves. When the giant civilization fell, they fled to the depths of the continent. Rumors has been going around for years of a race of creatures, similar to the Aarakocra, yet different in many ways.
Scions of the Dragon Above
When the Progenitor Wyrms became one with the cosmos, they each created a few races. From cruel Kyber came the Fiends. From peaceloving Ebberon came Humans, Elves, and other Humanoids. From proud Siberys came the great Dragons. Upon Siberys' death, and the creation of the Ring of Siberys, two scales fell from his body. From these came the Iblink, named so for their hawklike appearance. In fact, Iblink means "hawk" in Draconic.
