Current Description:

06/10/2002- Description written on 11/15/2001, by Cordir:

The emaciated, skinny, scruffy bird that stands before you has bizarrely
mottled feathers and looks like he's been half-plucked at some point in 
the not-terribly distant past. He staggers about as if partially (or is 
it entirely?) drunk - or perhaps he's simply been bonked on the head too 
many times? Its hard to tell. With such slender legs and arms, he appears 
to be incredibly frail, and those scrawny knees knock together with the 
fear of a coward.  Strange and faintly glowing talismans hang around his 
neck and various dead animal skulls in various stages of decay have 
been glued to his armor, giving him a faintly repulsive appearance. 
'Silly bird, silly bird,' he mumbles, reaching over his own shoulder to 
pat his back. 'Dumbbird, dumbird', he sighs. 
Keat is in perfect health.

January 2014 Writing Quest Entry, written by Tikruul:


The day was long, it had been a long scrabble over centuries.

Growing, climbing, striving ever higher winds...

...and he was close. Very close.

"Just a few more fights, and I can relax" the ancient Aara thought to himself.

He turned to his next quarry - the Museum's tour guide leader. He'd fought long, and hard, the poor man never saw him coming. The backstab dealt a hefty blow but he turned to fight back. For a mild mannered tour guide, he put up a good, if brief, struggle.

He wiped his weapon free of gore. One more thing. He wanted it to be special…he wanted it to be something truly awesome, bespeaking his status as the realm’s strongest bird. Something to cause the realm to capture him don to shade of plumage in stone, crystal, and precious metals, throughout the realm ---!

He sees a shimmer out of the corner of his eye. Reflexively, after centuries of his path as a shaman, he rifts the haunting ghost. It puts up a fierce battle. Fiercer than the spirit had in life. Rifts flare, curse, chill touch, and weakness are all uttered by his opponent. His cloak shatters, the ghost lands a good hit, but with a final, empowered rift, it as done, and the ghost was no more…only…

### Keat has advanced to level 30.

He half laughs, realizing what has just happened, completely on accident. His dreams of grandeur shattered…but even still.

He had made it. The world’s first level 50 Aarakocran.

Geasa:

  1. Will never aid a member of the Dawnbringers
  2. Will always cloak any newbie or Chosen of Fate who asks
  3. Will teach what I know of the shaman craft to others.
