Valkeri are NPCs found within Feral. They can be found in every realm but Mugmyre Marsh.

Description

Valkeri are seen with wing-like arms, round or slightly square-shaped owl- or finch-like heads, long tailfeathers, and legs that lack talons. Their feathers vary widely in color, but usually consist of two colors of the same hue. Their hands are sometimes wing-like, and other times more spindly and humanoid. They often wear types of robes or tunics.

History

One of the Feral writers, Sam, stated that "Valkeri moved from one planet to other planets to study new cultures and arts. Now, they have lived in Feral for hundreds of years." This is further confirmed by item descriptions such as that of Eland's Totem or the Valkeri's Travel Map, as well as quotes from certain NPCs, such as "Valkeri carry around totems of their beloved figures and heroes to guide them on many journeys."

The race of Valkeri have already lived for hundreds of years, but some Valkeri NPCs today are more loyal to the Queens. Similar to how Sergeant Gale is dedicated to protecting Feral, Calliope is searching for information from the past to find the key to waking up the Queens, and Viola is leading The Betwixt research. Noct has said that "We Valkeri have a song for each of the Queens' periods of slumber, save the event 150 years ago, which rings strangely silent in our history..." Rosalie often mentions that she wishes she could wake up the Queens.

Language

In Season Pass 5 (2021), dialogue from the NPC Noct confirms that Valkeri, Kobolds, and Komodori have their own languages. He says, "Lately I've been thinking about trying to master all of the written languages in Feral, so I can see my novel written out in all kinds of magnificent alphabets... The bold strokes of the Kobold, the thin dashes of the Komodori, even the lyrical, elegant script of my Valkeri ancestors."

Currently, the appearance of Valkeri script is unknown, whilst the other writings, like the Kobolds' and the Komodoris', has made a possible appearance somewhere in the these species' native realms, such as the bold writing in Lakeroot Valley.

Trivia
