-The largest jundari eyrie that stills survives in the Realms. Its counterpart,​ [[atlas:Morning Calm]], was built in the northern [[atlas:Abjurer Mountains]] and abandoned generations ago. The central eyrie is located on a large plateau high in the western [[atlas:Iron Mountains]]. While few people actually live in here, most visit at least once a week. The majority of the population is scattered across the mountains in small tribal villages.+The largest jundari eyrie that stills survives in the Realms.

-Four great eyries were built upon the world for the jundari, each one dedicated to one of the four winds that served their goddess. Evening Song was dedicated to the western wind that brought music and spiritual strength to the world as it slept. Its sister city to the east, [[atlas:Morning Calm]], was dedicated to the eastern wind which gave the world a reborn life. [[atlas:Night Mourning]] is actually twin locations both at the very top and very bottom of the world, while [[atlas:Blazing Glory]] is a single range that runs the [[wp>​equator]].+Four great eyries were built upon the world for the jundari, each one dedicated to one of the four winds that served their goddess.

 However, the troubles of the lesser races soon came to rest at the doorstop of the Evening Song. For generations they have lived above them, soaring through the clouds above them heedless of their petty thoughts and ambitions. However, the lowlanders coveted what the goddess gave to her children and with iron and steel in their hand they came to take what they wanted. However, the troubles of the lesser races soon came to rest at the doorstop of the Evening Song.

 However, the ways of the jundari do not change quickly as they are nearly as immortal as the elves. So, while the humans saw the passing of several generations,​ the jundari were still debating with those that survived the attack upon Morning Calm. Finally, enough of the Whisperers spoke out that the people of Evening Song would begin making contact with the nearby humans, who seemed to control most of the land. However, the ways of the jundari do not change quickly as they are nearly as immortal as the elves.

-Their first contact was with the [[atlas:​King ​of Dakar]] and [[Kranydria]] went smoothly. While the staring from the people at first disturbed the jundari, they eventually fell into old habits of accepting gifts from the lowlanders as proper tithing. However, their mistake in treating all humans as one led to their worst mistake.+Their first contact was with the [[Kingdom ​of Dakar]] and [[Krandryia]] went smoothly.

-Their greatest hunter, Windstar, led a trade delegation to speak to the Brundswag to the far north. Their ruler killed the delegation and made Windstar’s wings into his own personal cloak. The jundari were outraged by this most evil act and would have taken their hatred out upon all human; except for the intervention of Bellini, they youngest Whisperer ever. She told them that the evil was of the [[atlas:Brundswag]] leaders, not the evil of all humans.+Their greatest hunter, Windstar, led a trade delegation to speak to the Brundswag to the far north.

-While the jundari claim all of the lands east of the [[atlas:Gate of the Gods]], in actuality their most eastern villages are several kilometers from the Gate. However, since they care little for what happens below their peaks, they often trade the valuables of the land for the food and metals of the [[bestiary:​dwarf|dwarves]].+While the jundari claim all of the lands east of the [[Gate of the Gods]], in actuality their most eastern villages are several kilometers from the Gate.

 Very few of the jundari live within the only true city. Instead, they tend to say as mated pairs or in extended families in the peaks scattered across their land. Most jundari are very protective of their territory, but a few prefer to share the winds near their home with others. Evening Song was built by the west wind and dedicated to the strength of spirit and music that are its gifts to the world. Very few of the jundari live within the only true city.
