Valkyrie

The Valkyries were a species, created by Aera, which founded the kingdom Skyston. The were the most famous, living creation of Aera, the goddess of air and sky. She formed them after her image. The Valkyries were only women, so to hae a baby a Valkyrie had to pass a ritual, after which she had got an egg, if the ritual was successful.

Creation
The first Valkyries appeared near the Skysgate Mountains, the eastern mountains of Melon. They build their capital Aeron on the slopes and around the highest mountain, Oregon, which was the entrance to the home of the good gods, Gardell. There existed five houses at the beginning:

The House Hawkfeather
The House Hawkfeather was the house of born leaders. During the years the house brought all the Queens of Skyston.

The House Eagletalon
The House Eagletalon brought most of the warriors, who protected the cities and villages and led the Skywatch.

The House Kitebeak
The House Kitebeak had the fastest flyers, so they had their own combat class, the kites, which set on light armor and fast weapons.

The House Owlwing
The House Owlwing had the most wise and smart Valkyries. They had sorceresses, diplomats, teachers and merchants.

The House Sparrow
The House Sparrow was the house of craftswomen and hunters.

Founding of Skyston
After the first Queen of the Valkyries, Ary, had had a dream in which Aera appeared, she told her people that their task was the protection of Skysgate, especially Gardell. The whole company traveled into the centre of Skysgate Mountains, where the entrance to the home of the Shae-Haressi was. Ary instructed Lady Mal of the House Sparrow to build the city Aeron as the capital of Skyston. Lady Ares of the House Eagletalon founded the Skywatch, which was the combat organisation, where women learned to fight with heavy weapons and armors. Lady Vex of the House Kitebeak made the opposite of Ares: fast-flying Valkyries with light weapons, while Lady Olea of the House Owlwing built the Sky-Citadel, where people learned to control the winds and do magic. Each of them created their buildings, so time after time Aeron had been set up.
