Category:Hawks: Royal House



The royal house to the Avian Society is traced down the Shardae family line.

The monarchy is descended through the maternal line, or through the Queen, who is known as the "Tuuli Thea". Customarily the reign of the Tuuli Thea ends when her eldest daughter becomes pregnant, thus ensuring continuation of the line. If no female heirs exist, the title would pass to the eldest daughter of the Tuuli Thea's son, thus continuing the line of female monarchs. The Tuuli Thea's consort does not receive a title; all avian husbands are referred to as "Alistair" (meaning "protector").

The Shardae family is known for their golden eyes, hair, hawk form, and hawk Demi form wings(Meaning though their faces may look different they all share the same Golden colors). This trait passes through the family virtually untainted by raven, crow, and other avian alistairs not of the hawk species. Like the rest of the avians, hawk children are assigned an alistair at birth or early in life, typically a high-ranking raven or crow with connections to the royal family.

Royal Family Members Mentioned but not described
† Caylen- Grandmother to Nacola and extended Grandmother to Shardae family. It is said that the reason the Avians are vegetarian is because Caylen couldn't stand the smell of cooked meat and refused to let it be served in the Keep. So the cooks created food that would be allowed and it became uncommon.

†  Mara Shardae- Eldest daughter of Curtis & Nacola. Sister to Danica and Xavier. Half-Sister to Sive.
