The Avesri

Legends of Bennuma

(as might be told by Hadimer, in the time of the IceGem)

The Avesri

Everyone knows of the Avesri. Well, everyone knows at least something of them. Oh, some people worship them as gods, many imagine them to be spirits, some say they are pure magic given solid form; but pretty much everyone thinks of them as being the protectors of this world of ours. The Guardian Birds of Bennuma. Those of them which still exist, that is.

Some people believe there are more Avesri than are known to us; some believe there never have been more than the ones which exist now, that the ones no longer with us are nothing more than legends of fancy. But the Avesri do exist, and legends of them abound. Long ago, not all peoples knew all of these legends, but times have changed and the peoples communicate more freely with each other. Still, some may know of more legends than others.
