The Ravenfolk/Giants

Raykian
Raykian (ray-kee-an) is home to the Ravenfolk (such as Apearon) and the Giants (such as Cleo.) Their main cities are high in the mountains and they have Korean and Japanese inspired appearances with Greek tendencies. They are known for their scholars, diplomats, and automaton markers.

History
In the 13th Age, the country of Raykian was simply known as Giant territory. No one dared to cross it for fear of the "terrible monsters" that the Giants supposedly were. In truth, the Giants were more civilized by the 13th Age, but didn't know how to approach the outside world without being killed. Thanks to the Ravenfolk however, acting as emissaries to the other races, modern technologies of the 14th age were brought to Raykian.

Ravenfolk History
The Ravenfolk once had land elsewhere in the world, although it has long since been forgotten as they were displaced by humans somewhere during the 1st and 5th ages. They were nomadic for a while, which is why many Ravenfolk can be found all over the world, however the majority of them settled in the Giants' territory after the Giants took pity on them.

During the 13th and early 14th age, the Ravenfolk began to work with the other races, namely the Elves and Dwarves in the development of their railways and airships.

Flying and Standing Guard
Raykian is an incredibly large city and so it has an equally large number of guards, namely the Flying and Standing guard.

The Flying guard are elite Ravenfolk who rest on perches above the streets of the city. They have sleeveless uniforms to allow them to glide or fly down to deal with criminals and thieves. Those stationed in the market district and busier areas in the city have mechanically enhanced wing systems that strap to their back. These allow them to actually fly and easily capture fleeing criminals.

The Standing guard are trained Giants that generally act as city police. It's very common for Flying and Standing guard to be put on patrol together as the Giants' height is perfect for the Flying guard swooping.
