White peafowl

The white peafowl is a large bird that is very common in Bareshdort and Baodourwhey. It has a long neck, small head and a short bright red beak. Its eyes are bright green and the rest of its body is covered with large white feathers. When threatened, it spreads out a large fan of its long white tail feathers that can be up to two meters tall and four meters wide.

In Bareshdort the bird is regarded as holy and is not to be eaten. In the Ba religion it is seen as the predominant bird in Vintera Eril's army. In Baodourwhey the bird is often eaten during feasts, and though it is seen as an important bird to their religion, it is also seen as a delicacy.

Beside the wild white peafowl, there is also a domesticated one. The main differences of the two are the ability of flight, as the domesticated variety has small wings and weighs slightly more, it is unable to fly.
