I use the Wind Dukes of Aaqa in my world's pre history as a large influence.
Also go for ancient animal headed (yah, almost Egyptian flavored) races from pre history.
Aarakockra in particular are the progenitors of kenku and tengu. And look! They start with aa like the wind dukes, and have ra in their name.
So I decided to make the ancient civilization of the Wind Dukes of Aaqua, Aarakocra. More advanced than today's aarakocra, but this is a great idea!!!!!
Here is where my mind went south...
Thinking about the bird races and talking out loud, I accidentally mispronounced it as Wind Ducks of Aaqa. A friend heard it, and replied "What? Wind ducks of A'Quacka?"
I cant decide whether to keep my idea and struggle with the voice in my head that hears Wind Ducks, or just let it go....
