Special Abilities

Aura of Good
Detect Evil: A hunting paladin cannot use this ability as a move action. However, when a hunting paladin has successfully followed a creature’s tracks for at least 1 minute, she can discern whether the tracked creature’s alignment was evil, as if she had cast detect evil in its presence and concentrated for 3 rounds.
Hunt Evil: Once per day, a hunting paladin can designate a single evil creature within her sight or one that she has determined to be evil by declaring it the target of her hunt and following its tracks; this allows her to add her Charisma modifier as a bonus on Survival checks to follow that creature’s tracks and on Perception and Stealth checks opposed by the target of her hunt. She can sense her target’s presence and location, which lets her pinpoint her target’s location when within 10 feet; if the target has concealment, she can roll twice and use the better result on rolls to determine whether she misses due to the concealment. She gains uncanny dodge as per the barbarian class feature against her target.

To the humanoids of Golarion, the god Easivra is a curiosity, at best. A god of an obscure race of bat-men in the Mwangi expanse, his worship among humanoids is nearly nonexistent. Easivra has done nothing to change this perception. This is not for lack of worshippers or willpower, rather a lack of interest on his part. His followers among the humanoids are nothing more than anomalies. He is, after all, the patron of all noble eagles on Golarion.

The noble eagles have taken upon themselves the mantle of the protectors of birdkind and the Dawn Eagle as their progenitor and patron. Evil has no place among the beauty and purity of the sky, they say, and it is their duty to ensure it stays that way. Intensely proud of their heritage, great lineages of righteous warriors known as Roosts define their society.

It was into this collection of holy champions that Clalaak was born, the first child of his mother Seerkii and the 78th descendant of Swiftwing, the semi-mythical founder of his Roost. He was taught the mysteries and doctrines of Easivra from hatching, learning the nobility of their purpose and the absolute necessity of their cause. It was his pride and his duty to follow in the wingbeats of his forebears, and he took to the skies to prove himself in glorious battle against the corruptors of the skies.

A group of Beheaded had been spotted in his family’s territory in the Verduran Forest, and he was eager to prove himself. He swooped in for the kill against a straggler, but as he did, three more intercepted him. Midair duels between flying beasts are a terrifying and glorious affair, and this was no exception. He flew as hard as he could, but despite his best efforts, the Beheaded overwhelmed him. He plummeted towards the ground, and he knew it was his end.

He closed his eyes and saw an eagle with wings of fire, it’s cry a call to righteous battle. It was Easivra, it had to be! He opened his eyes and found his wounds healed, his body full of vigor. He flew at a Beheaded and crushed it between his talons, before setting his sights on the rest.

When the battle was done he rested for a time and knew beyond a doubt he had been chosen to fight back against evil and to challenge humanity by inspiring them to be the best they could be. He would stay in the Verduran Forest, protecting it’s skies from any more incursions by creatures that would despoil them.

Clalaak is, as with nearly all eagles, intensely proud. His kin watch the skies, keep them safe so that all of birdkind may traverse them without fear. Despite his pride, he is kind and deeply caring. The cause would be nothing if those he protects lived in fear of their protectors, after all, and Easivra bids his children to act kindly and mercifully, to live their lives as best they can and encourage all others to do the same. The soaring passions and epic tales of the eagles are well known, after all, and Clalaak loves to tell of them all.
