Notes 

• Aarakocra, the birdmen, arrived in 'The North' due to either an experiment by Robert the Bald, the powerful arcanist who lives in Cloudtop Citadel, or as a magical experiment or mishap by the Dragonborn of Rodhin when attempting to create dimensional gates. One of those gates connected to the Plane of Air allowed for several tribes of Aarakocra to cross the threshold into The North.
• Heed is a Warden for a band of Aarakocra who have settled in the lower tiers on the opposite of Cloudtop and away from the mutants and monsters that Robert uses to keep visitors away. The birdmen share several portions of the Spine and the Serpent's Valley nestled between the various Dragon Hills with the likes of Rodhin, Dragonia, and the Peshwah tribes who dwell in the Eastern Hak. Heed's role is acting as the advanced eyes of his tribe and their aerie. He often adventures with other residents when a threat (or opportunity) poses in the region.
• Is working with a party organized by a mysterious human woman named Piosenna who claims that another relic of The Gods has been found in the Eastern Hak and that the group representing these various factions could get in on a chance to splitting whatever wonders may exist within. Since she has gotten her hand on the keys, she gets the first pick of artifacts, of course.
