Nrak is the leader of the pterafolk flock that lairs atop Firefinger’s pinnacle, 300 feet above ground level. Nrak commands respect among the six pterafolk inhabiting the summit and is distinguished by a prominent scar that runs from the top of its head down the right side of its face and chest to below its right wing.
Combat Profile
Nrak is significantly tougher than typical pterafolk, possessing 40 hit points (compared to standard pterafolk statistics found in appendix D). Like its flock, Nrak is described as hate-filled and employs tactical advantages including:
- Dive attacks from aerial circling positions
- Shoving enemies off the tower’s crumbling edges
- Coordinating with additional pterafolk that circle overhead and can reinforce the battle
Territory
Nrak’s flock controls the flat, roughly 40-foot-square pinnacle at Firefinger’s peak, where bones and meat scraps litter the area around their stone tower nest. The pterafolk avoid using the chimney between levels 3 and 4 except to occasionally drop food to prisoners below.
The summit provides commanding views over 20 miles when clear, including the Aldani Basin, Lake Luo, Valley of Embers, and surrounding volcanic peaks—making it strategically valuable territory for the flock.
