The Zephyr of the [[http://www.parthosrpg.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Cathilcarn Cathilcarn]] are free spirits who enjoy soaring on the currents high above the ground, taking in the majestic views Parthysis has to offer. They posses an irrepressible zest for life and a pleasantly cheerful disposition. The flighty disposition that Zephyr's are well known for is merely an extension of their embrace for all things pleasant and soothing in life.

The Zephyr of the [[http://www.parthosrpg.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Cathilcarn Cathilcarn]] are free spirits who enjoy simply soaring on the currents high above the ground, taking in the majestic views Parthysis has to offer. They posses an irrepressible zest for life and a pleasantly cheerful disposition. The flighty disposition that Zephyr's are well known for is merely an extension of their embrace for all things pleasant and soothing in life.
Warlike Zephyr have a complex code of honor that they use to guide and temper their militaristic activities and training. These Zephyr spend their lives defending their kin, and frequently follow the path of the Heliae. Their lives are geared towards war and protection and they answer to their generals who share responsibility for ruling the society with the religious leaders. This Zephyr of this military force, known as the Talons, are extremely proud, and they form eternal friendships with those who earn their respect and trust. They protect the Aerie and sometimes aid those that pass through their lands, and have inhabited many of the abandoned Aridoc and Ardashir strongholds and watch towers at the lower reaches of the [[http://www.parthosrpg.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Cathilcarn Cathilcarn]]. In times past, the threat of Dragon attacks was the main concern, though in more recent times, bandits have become more of an issue.
Despite their divergent personalities, these two subcultures interact surprisingly well. Young Zephyr typically spend time immersed in each subculture before opting to join a single caste, learning from both warriors and priests. This lifestyle, which proceeds until adolescence, allows Zephyr raised in one caste to learn how the other caste lives. This system makes for an efficient collaboration between the two castes. For example, peaceful Zephyr will closely study migration patterns of the fauna in the area and tell the warrior-hunters where to hunt. The Zephyr take flight across the skies and crags of the [[http://www.parthosrpg.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Cathilcarn Cathilcarn]] for many of their needs. They fish in the freezing waters of the sparkling mountain lakes and hunt across the broadleaf forests at lower elevations.
The Dance of the Swirling Winds is a semiannual festival held on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes to celebrate the changing seasons and to honor Lucia. The Dance of the Golden Sky is held on the winter and summer Solstices, and similarly honors Celestia. Offerings of beautiful feathers are released into the snow plumed winds in [[http://www.parthosrpg.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Cathilcarn Cathilcarn's]] highest peaks, and the entire Convocation joins in an aerial ballet danced to chimes and harps.
Zephyr combine a tradition of vigilance and military formality with a joyous reverence for the sheer peaks and open skies of their homeland. Most wishing to defend the Convocation's majestic way of life join the militant and coordinated Talons while those more inclined to prayer join the Maiden's Faithful, and still others, those who strike out on their own to protect not only the Convocation, but all who pass beneath the shadows of the [[http://www.parthosrpg.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Cathilcarn Cathilcarn]] don the robes of Skywardens.
The Skywardens are followers of Celestia and self-appointed protectors of the skies, the [[http://www.parthosrpg.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Cathilcarn Cathilcarn]] mountaintops, and anywhere else a Zephyr might ride the winds. They are the aid for those lost or injured while in their domains. The Skywardens are individualists, and operate better outside the strict uniformity of the Talons. Far from being looked on as outcasts, Skywardens are well respected and uphold oaths to never willingly allow anyone to suffer in their domain. Skywardens sometimes, though rarely, have been known to leave to bliss of the Convocation's Aerie out of a sense of duty, and travel to lands where they might extend their aid and put their skills to greater use.
