飞羽族是一种生活在托瑞尔附近山区的像鸟一般外表的智慧种族。飞羽族喜欢一连几个小时在空中飞翔，张开翅膀，乘着暖流和上升气流飞行。从远处看，它们很容易被误认为是老鹰或其他大型猛禽。飞羽族身高约5英尺，翼展约20英尺。它们平均只有90磅重。在每只翅膀的中间有一只三指的手，这只手只有在翅膀折叠起来的时候才有用。它们翅膀上的肌肉附着在一块多骨的胸板上，它们有力的腿末端是锋利的爪子，可以向后收缩，这使得飞羽族可以用脚当手。它们的头部结合了鹰和鹦鹉的特征。它们的喙是灰黑色的，眼睛也是黑色的。雄性是鲜艳的颜色，通常是红色、橙色或黄色，而雌性则是棕色或灰色。
The aarakocras are a race of intelligent birdlike people who live in mountainous areas around Toril. Aarakocras love to soar high in the sky for hours on end, riding the thermal currents and updrafts with their wings spread wide. From a distance, it’s easy to mistake them for eagles or some other large bird of prey. Aarakocras stand about 5 feet tall and have a wingspan of 20 feet. On average, they only weigh about 90 pounds. Midway along each wing they have a three-fingered hand, which is only useful when the wings are folded in. Their wing muscles attach to a bony chestplate, and their powerful legs end in sharp talons that can be drawn back, allowing aarakocras to use their feet as hands. Their heads combine the features of an eagle and a parrot. Their beaks are gray-black, and their eyes are black as well. The males are brightly colored, usually red, orange, or yellow, while the females are either brown or gray.
刚孵出的飞羽族在出生后的头三个月是不允许离开巢穴的。在那之后，他们大约五年都只被认为是孩子。在这个时间，他们被赶出部落的公共巢属于他的家庭的部分，并被给予一个他们自己的地方。飞羽族可以活到100岁以上。
Aarakocra hatchlings aren’t permitted to leave the nest for the first three months of life. After that, they are considered children for only about five years. At this point, they are kicked out of the family’s portion of the tribe’s communal nest and given a place of their own. Aarakocra can live to be over 100 years old.
飞羽族的寿命和年龄与人类相同。
Aarakocra have the same life expectancy and age categories as humans.
历史History
飞羽族最初来自费伦的西边遥远的马兹特克大陆。在几代人的时间里，飞羽族从一个岛迁移到另一个岛，穿越无痕之海，跟随远方的侦察兵在日出之后寻找新的筑巢地。第一批飞羽族殖民者在公元418 DR，也就是鹰飞之年，到达了费伦北部。
The aarakocras originally came from the distant land of Maztica, far to the west of Faerun. Over the course of several generations, flights of aarakocra migrated from island to island across the Trackless Sea, following far-ranging scouts in search of new nesting grounds beyond the sunrise. The first aarakocra colonists arrived in northern Faerun in 418 DR, the Year of the Eagle’s Flight.
飞羽族最终在费伦建立了四个主要的殖民地：星之山在至高森林，风暴之角在科米尔、维洪海岸的裂隙山脉山脉，以及在楚尔特的密丝特克里夫（Mistcliffs）。然而，星之山的殖民地仅在几年前被绿色古龙伊拉克玛丽库斯（Elaacrimalicros）摧毁。所有费伦的飞羽族都发誓要为他们的亲人报仇。
The aarakocras eventually created four major colonies in Faerun: the Star Mounts in the High Forest, the Storm Horns in Cormyr, the Cloven Mountains on the Vilhon Reach, and the Mistcliffs in Chult. However, the Star Mounts colony was destroyed only a few years ago by Elaacrimalicros, an ancient green dragon. All Faerunian aarakocras have sworn to avenge their deaths of their kin.
性格Outlook
飞羽族看不起其他种族，不管是字面上的还是比喻上的。他们同情那些在陆地上生活的可怜的傻瓜，因为他们行动不便，他们经常批评他们“缺乏远见”。
Aarakocra look down on other races, both literally and figuratively. They pity the poor landbound fools for their lack of mobility, and they often criticize them for a “lack of perspective.”
飞羽族需要旅行，去看看脚下的世界。这一点加上对在星之山殖民地杀害同伴的怪物复仇欲望，将他们中的许多人推向了更广阔的世界。
Aarakocras have a need to travel, to see the world unroll beneath their feet. This, combined with a lust for vengeance against the creature who murdered their fellows in the Star Mounts colony, has thrust many of them out into the wider world.
飞羽族是一个骄傲的民族，他们之间有着紧密的联系。他们是技能高超的猎手。飞羽族猎人在他们选择的狩猎场上空翱翔，直到他们发现猎物，然后以最快的速度俯冲下来，叼起猎物，在猎物还不知道发生了什么事之前就将其杀死。因为这个原因，大多数的飞羽族成为战士，这是他们最喜欢的职业。
The aarakocras are a proud people with strong ties to one another. They are hunters of surpassing skill. Aarakocra hunters soar over their chosen hunting ground until they spot game, then dive down at top speed to snatch up their meal and kill it before it even knows what happened to it. For this reason, most aarakocras become fighters, and this is their favored class.
飞羽族社会Aarakocra Society
作为一个飞羽族的生活主要是用来打猎或制造工具和武器。虽然并不是所有的男性都被期望每天都能吃到部落的食物，但是那些不吃的人有很好的理由不吃。儿童和年龄很大的人可以免除这项责任。
Life as an aarakocra is mostly spent hunting or making tools and weapons. While not every male aarakocra is expected to snatch up the tribe’s meals on a daily basis, those who don’t better have good reasons why not. Children and the extremely old are excused from this duty.
当一个年轻的飞羽族接近成熟的时候，他的长辈教他自己一个人打猎。如果他对天空和他的猎物表现出极大的尊敬，他可能会被引导成为一名牧师。
As a young aarakocra nears maturity, his elders teach him to hunt for himself. If he shows a great reverence for the sky and his prey, he may be steered into a career as a cleric.
部落生活对大多数飞羽族来说就是一切。这个部落共享一个巨大的，没有屋顶的公共巢，由厚厚的藤蔓编织成一个巨大的碗。部落中最年长的成员，无论男女，在部落萨满（牧师）的帮助下领导部落。在远离部落的地方，无论是单独的还是群体中，飞羽族都是孤僻的。他们有极度的幽闭恐惧症，除非别无选择，否则拒绝进入任何封闭区域。对他们来说，被困在一个无法到达天空的房间里就像是死亡。
Tribal life is everything to most aarakocra. The tribe shares a large, roofless communal nest made of thick vines woven together into a gigantic bowl. The eldest member of the tribe, whether male or female, leads the tribe with the help of the tribal shaman (cleric). Away from the tribe, aarakocras are aloof, whether singly or in a group. They are extremely claustrophobic and refuse to enter any enclosed area unless there is no other choice. To them, being trapped in a room with no way to reach the sky is akin to death.
语言和文字Language and Literacy
有着说风族语，风元素的语言。他们的种族与这些生物有着长久的关系，甚至飞羽族将风元素的语言作为自己的语言。他们通常也说通用语，很久以前就意识到他们需要能够与地面上的人交流。
Aarakocras speak Auran, the language of air elementals. Their race has had such a long relationship with these creatures that aarakocras have adopted the tongue as their own. They also normally speak Common, having long since realized that they need to be able to communicate with those people on the ground.
所有的飞羽族都是文盲，除了那些拥有野蛮人以外职业的玩家角色。
All aarakocras are illiterate, except for those with a player character class other than barbarian.

飞羽族魔法和知识Aarakocra Magic and Lore
飞羽族有一种专门为他们的人民设计的咒语——空中召唤之舞(见附录)。
Aarakocra have a single spell particular to their people, the aerial summoning dance (see the appendix).
飞羽族神祗Aarakocra Deities
在费伦，飞羽族几乎都崇拜一个神：艾德莉·法恩雅。这个精灵的神祗受到了飞羽族的青睐，仅仅是因为她是唯一一个与飞羽族的生活方式相符合的善良神祗。在飞羽族看来，她有时会以一种明亮的白色巨鸟的形象出现。从这只鸟身上掉下来的羽毛——神祗的羽毛——是飞羽族巢穴中最珍贵的物品之一。
Aarakocras in Faerun almost all worship a single deity: Aerdrie Faenya. This elven weather god is favored by the aarakocras simply because she is the only good deity who speaks to the aarakocran way of life. She has been known to sometimes appear to the aarakocras in the form of a brilliant white, giant bird. The feathers that fall from this bird-god’s plumage are among the most treasured items in an aarakocran nest.
与其他种族关系Relations with Other Races
飞羽族喜欢和其他种族保持距离。在所有其他种族中，由于他们对艾德莉·法恩雅的共同崇拜，以及大多数精灵对待自然的尊敬方式，飞羽族觉得自己与精灵最亲近。
Aarakocras like to keep their distance from other races. Of all the other races, aarakocras feel closest to elves because of their common worship of Aerdrie Faenya and the respectful way in which most elves treat nature.
飞羽族对其他标准的角色种族没有什么感觉。他们对半兽人、地精和蜥蜴族有着持久的仇恨，因为只要有机会，这些生物就会把飞羽族关进笼子并折磨他。Aarakocras don’t feel much of anything about the other standard character races. They have an abiding hatred of orcs, goblinoids, and lizardfolk, though, for these creatures will cage and torment aarakocras, given the chance.
飞羽族装备
在战斗中，相对于其他武器，飞羽族更喜欢标枪。它们通常一次携带六个，用单独的鞘绑在胸前，就像一个大的带子。他们中的许多人还携带飞行骑枪(见附录)。
In battle, aarakocras prefer javelins over all other weapons. They often carry six of them at a time, strapped to their chests in individual sheaths, like a large bandolier. Many of them also carry flight lances (see the appendix).
动物与宠物ANIMALS AND PETS
飞羽族不饲养家畜作为食物或驮畜。它们有时会让更小的鸟在它们周围筑巢，但它们更多的是朋友而不是宠物。像翼精灵一样，飞羽族经常和巨鹰成为朋友。
Aarakocras do not raise domestic animals for food or as beasts of burden. They sometimes allow smaller birds to nest around them, but these are more friends than pets. Like the avariels, aarakocras often befriend giant eagles.
