Physically, they are of medium-low stature with a lean and slender body, and their height rarely exceeds 5 feet. Their upper region is generally brown in color, but it can vary from rusty to brown even to different shades of black and grey. The head and back are generally paler, with streaks or dots running down along the body. Males and females are similar, as are young chicks, although the latter tend to be duller. The hooked beak, generally of a golden colour, stands out visibly on the small heads. They don’t have wings and instead have fleshy, featherless legs (from knee down) and arms (from elbow down), both of which are golden and have four-toed claws. Their chicks are born ovoviviparous, meaning they hatch within the mother's body, and families usually never have more than a pair of chicks throughout their life.

The Hawk people prominent clans, or rather the kuriltai, were divided from the very beginning of their society, often quarreling with each other and competing for territory exploitation. Their culture has always been nomadic or semi-nomadic, based on hunting, gathering, and raiding, and their military strength is nothing less than formidable. There were, and still are, many notable clans scattered throughout the southern Uhn ranges, but the most well-known were the Rouran, the Kytah, and the Shiwei. Renowned for their excellent prowess in assaults and ambushes, even in arid areas where hiding places are scarce, the Hawk people have always been highly feared by neighboring kingdoms. But until clans were competing with each other, the situation could be kept under control. This changed when, three centuries after the Tale, they found a khan (a chief) who was able to unify them.

However, before that time, there were many attempts from Kibaya to annex them. Southern clans were first absorbed by Kibaya, given their constant looting of the Mouse people, thus giving Kibaya the opportunity to advance in colonization. This partial annexation, however, did not last long, both because of constant riots and, above all, because of the arrival of a khan who regained control of the lands. Despite their marauding nature, the Hawk people have always been esteemed for the important task they perform along the Uhn mountain range. To the west of them are the malefic Virfaam salt flats where so many monstrous creatures thrive. Thus, Hawk people have built a complex and highly resilient network of outposts, communicating with each other, precisely to protect peoples from attacks and invasions of these monstrous creatures.

They speak the Aevar language, a subtle and melodious language able to make even a dull and narrow text harmonious and poetic (perhaps a Spanish gibberish).

Religiously they are mostly lay followers of Zantist asceticism, practicing meditation and self spiritual research, but here and there still thrive some cults of Kalaukeke (deity of battles and storms), Teeje (deity of looting and piracy) and Thialon (deity of conquest and tiranny).

Their ancestral princes were Yesügei Baator Khan and Temüjin Merkiit, who taught their race that the Hawk people are free and independent, just like their feral cousins, and as they always will be. Hawk people were born in the hunt, live in the hunt, and will die in the hunt. Houses and villages are made to raise a family, but no place in the world can ever contain a Hawk's entire life, as they always watch far beyond the mountains and the present moment.
