The Fyelinst

An intelligent race of humanoids descended from butterflies that are incredibly light and live among the high points of trees in towering villages.

Despite being decended from butterflies they do not have wings but are made up of incredibly light material allowing them to get caught in drafts of wind. They can control their movements during time without wind, being able to control density of air inside several dedicated internal ‘sacs’.

Due to the light physical makeup of the Fyelinst, they need to create measures to prevent being caught by sudden breezes. As one precaution against this, Fyelinsti villages are surrounded by an artificially made web of rope-like material to catch those caught off guard, to prevent their floating away. They also use heavy shoes when travelling allowing them to stay on the ground with the ability to control their jump height by adjusting the concentration of air in their internal 'sacs'.
