Legend
I have to admit, the thing I like least about ardlings is the name. If they're basically guardinals, why not call them that? (Is it to keep them separate from a monster of the same name?
The only other thing that I think is less-than-great about them is the wings thing. I mean, I like it, but it's a bit too much like Aasimar (for one) and not enough like the given animal (for another).
But they're fine, really. Not the worst race to come to D&D (which would probably be 4e's Shardminds - I liked them okay, but most people (IME) DID NOT.)
