| Procreation | With each other. With other avians for halfbreeds. |

About one in ten athenars have the bad or good luck edge. They are good with business and other dealings. Many are magic-users and they are often known for their distinct voices. |
| Weaknesses | Despair and darkness magic or faith will hurt them. |
