Basic Information
Anatomy
The Ialin are large birds, of a size aproximate of a small dog, with a powerful hooked beak, strong legs, and sharp talons. They have thin, tapered wings for a high speed flight and a rapid change of direction. Their eyes are incredibly powerful sight, being able to see up to 1 km away with great details.

Growth Rate & Stages
- Fledglings They hatch after a month of incubation. With open eyes, and with a lack of feathers. Fully dependants of the parents.
- Juveniles After a two months of growing, their size is doubled and they will start learning how to fly. After a week, they will start hunting by themselves (small bugs).
- Adults Fully grown, they will shed to have their adult plumage and will leave the nest, usually taking one of the Radent's offspring rather than finding one in the wild (now that they are on Iphars, they usually cannot find a wild Radent). Soon, they will start hunting bigger prays.
Reproduction
When it is time for the Ialin to reproduce, they male will fertilize the female and it will lay 2 to 5 eggs. After that, the Radent of the male and the female will be allowed to reproduce.
The eggs look brown with yellow spots, and they nest in small caves that the male crave in the floor, usually in a wall. After the laying, the male will hunt and the female will take care of the eggs.

A Ialin best friend!
Ialin do not have a partner for all life, but they do live all their life with a Radent which they treat as a best friend or pet. It is believed by Dagetel that Ialin have a special cry for their friend, meaning that they give the Radent a name. The Ialin will bring food, water, and take the Radent around with them as much as possible. They even sleep together, cuddling!
It seems that Ialin have magic in them as well, as the Radent are not adapted to live in such a hot climate, but when they live with a Ialin, they do not have problems, but if a Radent is left without a Ialin, they will die of heat.
If a Ialin or a Radent die before the other one dies, they will be depressed. If the Ialin is left alone, they will stop eating and drinking, waiting for death as they mourn their friends. If a Radent is left alone, they will quickly die for heat, but they will not leave their friend's corpse, mourning the little time they have left. It is common to find both corpses together, cuddling as if they were sleeping.

Nevaid's wrath is where they live, visiting the north of Emea for hunting.
Awwww this is so cute ❤ best friend for life :D How do the Radent feel about that initial kidnapping though? Are they "brainwashed" into accepting the situation and only end up liking the Ialin because they are entirely dependant on them for food and not dying of heat?
Tbf, there is not anymore full wild Radents, but in their other world, the Ialin had a method to "domesticate" them.
