The proud decendants of the Aearee Creator Race. Not much is known about them, they generally loved in high altitude mountainous terrain but avoided most of the territory held by Osteria. Which meant most of them populated Anchorome and the Western Lands and left Faerun to the Sarruhk and their mortal enemies the Batrachi. Eventually the ancient civilization with it's many temples and societies fell to the wayside, and from the ruins came these races.

Aarakocra
Aarakocra were a group of mages called the Kocra that fled to the Elemental Plane of Air in the wake of their civilsation, rather than fight the changing climate and increasingly hostile world of Dragons and worse. Their time there changed them, where the Aearee were gifted with flight, it was a paltry skill compared to the Aearee-Kocra (Aarakocra). They also took on a more primal essence of Air into their beings, thereafter being far more gifted in storm magic than their cousins. With the rejoining of Abeir with Toril and defeat of The Batrachi Pack during the Titansblood Wars, Aarakocra have started to reappear in greater numbers in Abeir-Toril, mostly taking advantage of the outposts, collapsed settlements, and trade route established in Anchorome. They find normal gravity a burden, often taking week or months to adjust.

Syranites
An offshoot of the Aearee peoples that fled to the western lands when the Dragons started to hunt their people with the fall of the Sharan. Here they found temperate forests of northern Anchorome, large trees and land a stranger to dragons. They have small hunter-gatherer families littering the forests and use Fabian tactics to take down invading monstrosities and dragonkin with the help of the titanic pine trees. More recently some of them have left their close-kit communities to interact with the new strangers on their lands. A rare individual even making the journey across the Great Sea.
