==Overview==
The Winged Horde are a demi-[[human]] race, with large wings on their back. Their wings do not support sustained flight. Rather, they are used for gliding purposes. They use [[nerek]], a foul-smelling liquid to protect their wings and repel insects. This and their custom of storing food for long periods of time, gave rise to a stereotype of Winged Horde as malodorous. They were also known as sanguine, which lent itself to mischief.

Their largest known settlement is in [[Two River City]], although other communities apparently exist in the [[Grassland]]. They once had settlements in [[Tinto Principality]] but were expelled from the area as [[Tinto City|Tinto]]'s strip mining began to damage the land. A displaced people, the Winged Horde were brought to Two River City by [[Genkaku]] in 432, where they were given land on the sandbar that divides the [[Lana River]] and recognized as citizens with the right to be involved in the civil process there.

The reputation of the Winged Horde in Two River suffered to a lack of cultural understanding between the races there. However, their bravery during the [[Dunan Unification War]] was noticed and following the conflict, the persecution they suffered in the past has ceased.
