Kawona Info.:
The Kawona is an amphibious species, which means that they can live in water or on land.
They have gills located on the top of their beaks for breathing underwater.
The Kawona is capable of flight and also fast swimming due to their four wings and tail that double as fins.
Their bodies are almost completely covered in very light, feather-like scales.
They have 3 fingers on each hand, and 2 toes on each foot.
Their beaks are much more flexible than most birds because of the Kawona's close relation to fish, this giving them much more freedom in their speach.
An adult Kawona is roughly four feet tall.
Not being a very predatory species (other than to small fish or animals) the Kawona has developed a light blue hue so that it may better blend in with the ocean and the sky to more easily hide from predators (of which there are a decent amount on Amuyeli).
After a very long Bronze Age, the Kawona moved right into the Industrial Age.
The Kawona never went through a medieval era, bulky metal and stone creations are not very helpful when it comes to flying and swimming.
In the Industrial Age, the Kawona have begun to use small, simple machines.
They have also begun to file down their nails to a smoother, rounder shape instead of letting them grow into the talons that the more primitive Ages had.
At this point in time most Kawona have moved out of the water to Digalvdi Tree based housing.
Since it is not often used, it had become commonplace to tie down the head fins when leaving the home.
The more advanced Kawona are generally a very peaceful race.
Unfortunately the tribal half of the Kawona do not share this temperment.
The "Sea-Breather" tribes had decided they also needed to rule the land and sky.
Luckily for the "Air-Breather" tribes, their technology had advanced greatly since the last conflict, so they were able to defend themselves.
The "Sea-Breather" tribes however, were content to stay with their crude weapons, and were never able to make any progress.
After the war the "Sea-Breathers" began a massive exploration campaign and were not heard from again for many, many years.
Pictured below is one of the "Air-Breather" soldiers in standard uniform.
A few more primitive tribes in the far west still make their homes under the sea.
Amuyeli, the Kawona homeworld is made up of one vast ocean with small plateau islands jutting up from the sea floor.
There are very few land-based races on the planet because of the lack of land.
Most species are either flyers, swimmers, or amphibians.
On top of each of the plateau-islands would be a few incredibly massive Digalvdi Trees.
The Digalvdi Trees on the plateaus are easily twice as high as a redwood and three times as thick.
Due to their odd locations the trees have developed a way to seperate the salt from the seawater.
Any extra fresh water that the tree does not need is then pumped up to the top of the trees where is collects in large bowl-like leaves.
Since the trees are constantly pumping water the leaves often overflow creating small waterfalls falling from the tops of the trees.
The islands are where 90% of Amuyeli's creatures are found, either living in the tree, on/in the island, or in the surrounding waters.
The Digalvdi Tree (or Tree of the Heavens) is the main source of life on the planet.
It rains maybe 2 or 3 times a year on Amuyeli, and even then it is only a light rain for a day or so.
By purifying the sea water, The Digalvdi trees provide the only truly fresh water on the planet.
The Digalvdi Trees have a double canopy, creating large pockets of open space between the layers.
This space is home to the majority of the planet's flying creatures, including many Kawona.
