Aarakocra, being a bit phobic about caves and tunnels just refused to enter the great markets of Burghausen because they were inside a mountain. So, using their newly inventerd hot air balloons, the merchants of Burghausen started carrying supplies to the top of Skytop Mountain, the tallest peak on the island, where many of the birdmen had encampments, and started setting up booths to vend their wares and small smithys to make craft goods on the spot. When the first dirigibles were built, about 50 years ago, things started really moving with the larger loads of cargo and passengers they could carry. Skytop Village is still small, but it is a bustling hub of trade now, full of humans, iron dwarves, aarakocra, and other races from around the island.Skyborn LeaperYou grew up at high altitude on a snow-capped peak, becoming hardy and agile.Prerequisites: 1st-level only, must be from Skytop Village, dex 13+.Benefits: Balance, climbing, jumping, and rope use are always class skills for you.
