Winged Humans

Winged humans are called such because they are simply that: humans with wings. Aside from that, they appear mostly human. The only non-wing difference is in their weight. To be able to fly, winged humans have light bones that are hollow with air sacs. They also have larger breastbones for comfortable placement of their wings, and their skulls are shaped ever so like a bird's.

Their wings can be colored like any existing bird species, such as a falcon or pigeon. Their hair tends to match those of their feathers, unless dyed or otherwise changed.

Like birds, winged humans shed their feathers nearly annually. During this time, the slightly movement of wings can cause feathers to shed. They are encouraged to cover up their wings when entering public buildings such as restaurants and shops to keep employees from having to constantly sweep up feathers.

The winged human language is Fugai.

Culture
Winged humans are traditionally nomadic. Their ancestral territory covered most of southeast Kosovia, from Chadrica to Seohen to Umar. Tribes of winged humans would migrate with their herds during the seasonal changes, but would still remain in the same general area. As such, there are many different cultures of winged humans.

In recent times, it has become more common for winged humans to settle in more permanent lifestyles along with other races. Most nomadic winged humans are found in Umar.

Nomadic or stationary, traditional winged humans still herd animals and use them for most aspects of their life. The two most important animals in their culture are cattle and sheep, which they can obtain wool, leather, hides, meat, milk, and others. One of the most popular foods that is commonly found and exported from Umar is "kopek", a sweet fermented cheese.
