Habitat: It most commonly lives in the coastal mountains near Haelun’or and Riv’vallel.

Description: The Riv’Vallel is a variety of hawks, having long ago migrated from around Tahn, finally settling in the coastal mountains, where it became a dangerous predator to the fish of the sea. With time it has taken on a ice blue colour, managing to disguise itself well in the snowy mountains. It’s most common difference from normal hawks, are it’s deep blue claws, which is what it was named after. It generally has an ice like appearance, almost resembling that of an ice sculpture.

It is not a friendly animal, it’s a dangerous predator, frequenting attempts to kill anything and everything that isn’t fellow Riv’Vallels. It is dangerous to people who wish to travel the mountains, it’s a stealthy animal, being able to almost disguise itself in the snow around it. If they feel like they’re up against something stronger than themselves, they do not flee, but instead call upon other Riv’Vallels to give them aid and assistance. With all of that said, it is possible to tame the Riv’Vallel, but doing so would be a dangerous and hard task, given their natural behaviour.

If tamed, they are frequently used in case of battle, this is mostly because of their natural behaviour and their claws, which compared to other hawk’s, appear to be quite a bit sharper. They are also easily distracted from commands, making them not useful for that much more than combat or gatherers, using them as messengers would almost be near impossible, as it’d most likely get distracted and go on a hunt, forgetting about its task.

The Warhawke settlement of Riv'Vallel, was named after the avian, seeing as many of them were frequently spotted nearby.
