Wind Dukes of Aaqa

The Wind Dukes of Aaqa (sometimes written Aqaa ), or Vaati, were a race of powerful beings dedicated to law and good which opposed the forces of the Queen of Chaos; the Obyriths; and the Elemental Chaos. The nature of the Wind Dukes was unclear: some sages believed them to be powerful denizen of the Elemental Plane of Air, while others believed them to be angels of Bahamut.

Description
Vaati were androgynous humanoids with ebony skin and white eyes, usually described as seldom wearing clothes. They grew black hair but would usually shave it closely.

Personality
Vaati were peaceful and would usually prefer negotiation over fighting. As creatures of Law they would often appear narrow-minded to other races, and were overly concerned with rules and etiquette.

Before the war
Before the Dawn War, the Wind Dukes ruled a vast empire spanning multiple worlds. Most of that empire was destroyed during the war.

The Rod of Seven Parts
During the Dawn War, seven Wind Dukes were responsible for creating the Rod of Law with the help of the Soulforge of Moradin in Torzak-Belgirn. They used the rod during the battle of the Fields of Pesh in order to banish Miska the Wolf-Spider.

Relations with other races

 * Aarakocras: Some aarakocras felt a strong connection to the Vaati, and tried to retrieved the shattered pieces of the Rod of Law. Some were said to report directly to the Dukes, and searched for the temples of Elemental Evil.


 * Humans: In the late 15 century DR, Mwaxanaré, oldest living descendant of the last queen of Omu, forged a warlock pact with the Wind Dukes to gain magical powers.
