The Aarakocra remind me of those bird people from Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.

The Aarakocra remind me of those bird people from Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. I was thinking the same thing. Way cooler looking in my opinion though.

I don't have a mail service in my world...yet... I am not certain with D&D, but in Zelda I loved getting mail. I can imagine players getting excited over receiving mail from a particular NPC they know. (The traveling mailman gives you an excuse to give players mail near dungeons or while they are out in the wilderness).

I am adding it in and am really excited for them to either get mail from NPC's that are apart of their campaign now, or family members from their backstories, etc.

With a well established mail system it is a great way to give rewards potentially, or even a ton of adventure hooks. Family member in distress, package sent was lost, or twist it was stolen by the mail person, so on and so forth. I think it is a really good idea that if don't well would only be odd the first time it happened. After that the players will probably try and look for a mail center in every town and village they come across.

It is inescapable... Mailmen can be creepy and Legend of Zelda has the creepiest:

Now I'm picturing this guy with a Liam Neeson face saying "I will find you, and I will kill you"... After typing this I am now aware that this is what the image you posted is referencing.

So, I was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas about goliaths. I've never really used them in any RPG but for one of my NPC's I'm planning on having a sorcerer Goliath(At almarianknight's suggestion I believe). When I make NPC's that are big in my story I generally make them their own character sheets as opposed to jotting down a few notes and their stats. This guy is going to be a partner to a small-race fighting class guy (They are meant to be ironic). In the process of looking at what is written in the elemental evil pdf I didn't really feel like all the info I needed to flesh out the character was there. So, basically what I am asking is where I might find other info about their society and perhaps the type of sorcerers they would be. My guy at the moment is likely to use almost no magic that is not fire or utility and is descended from a gold dragon bloodline. Does this make any sense/ how can I make it make sense.
I guess this probably isn't the place to ask this but seeing the title sparked the question once again in my mind. Thanks in advance.

Definitely homebrewing the Aarakocra into a Raven and Eagle Birdkin race!! It also might be worth looking at kenku in the monster manual, or Tengu on any pathfinder wiki. Although these are both technically crow races, it might be worth looking into. Hope you post them in your anthro thread when your done. Psyched to see these(especially the raven one, "Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore'").

Here's some stuff concerning Goliaths, their society, and (most importantly) their view of different magics. Sorry that there is not much here. Apparently they are most likely to be Druids... This is mostly Forgotten Realms stuff, but I hope that's fine: forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/GoliathLook under Culture.
