Harpy soldier

An Harpy soldier from the Dark Legion of demons, from the army of the Succubus Pukunta during the demon-Car’Had war, one of the preliminary movements of the Dark Legion before the war of the power.

Succubus General Pukunta was in charge to siege and conquer the Skyhalls, the capitol and fortress of the gryphon people, the Car’Had, after they failed assault to the dark tower of Dol’Nur, in their war against the demons.

The army of Pukunta was composed of harpies, gargoyles, flying demons and dragons, around the number of 50.000 of them against 6.000 Car’Had defending their fortress, but with the death of their commander during an assault, her army disbanded.

The Harpies of the Dark Legion where equipped with spider-silk drow made armors, very light to not bother the harpies when fighting, and the demons sometimes provided them weapons, but the harpies prefeered to fight using their legs instead.

The Harpies lived in the high mountains of Aels, Zarhuy, Ushaenor and western Hieyoks, and they where oviparous and carnivorous, which make them a rather distrusted specie, for attacking and eating the travelers in the mountains.

Normally, for every fifty female harpies or so, there was only one male, that they procured to keep safe in their nests, from where originated the rumors that said that there existed only female harpies.

The Harpies where very territorial, and they lived normally in flocks of about 50 to 60 members, and most of them used just some very rustic stone and bone tools:

However other harpy flocks, in contact with other peoples, like the ones who served the Dark Legion of Demons, learned to work the copper, bronze and iron, and even the hability to build in stone, and these more organizated flocks quickly become small kingdoms, like Härps-Izil in the corridors of Wind.

The mortal enemies of the harpies where other flocks of Harpies, the Gryphon-kin, the Car’Hads, and the Gargoyles in the air, but in land they needed to defend themselves from the ones who wanted to eat their eggs:

The Ur Dur Goblins, created by the demons, and who later escaped, leaved the harpies of Aels in the brink of extinction as they spread in the continent for eating their eggs, so the Harpies needed to live cliffs and mountains impossible to climb.

Some kinas of Harpies where the Miriannar from the islands of Ushaenor and Aels, the blue Kiariatenn of the cliffs of Kuzuardh in the seas of Hieyoks, the Feuerhäaran from the high mountains of Ushaenor, and the Iziellen, from the Corridors of Wind in Aels.
