	As a subrace, Avariel are pretty gypped; they get Auran (the Air [[Elemental]] language) as a bonus language and the somewhat standardized "You can Fly 30 feet per round, but you can't fly if wearing Medium or Heavy Armor, or if Encumbered" flight racial trait. They're literally the only elven subrace at this point to ''not'' get a +1 to an ability score... as well as one of only ''two'' races that only get +2 to their ability scores. The other one is the '''[[Kobold]]'''!

	They first appeared in issue #51 of [[Dragon Magazine]], in an article titled "The Winged Folk". Here, they were named the "Al Karak Elam", and were a race of beauteous, flying, elven [[demihuman]]s who had once been staunch allies to the other races of light. However, when their race was decimated after first coming to aid of a rebellious nobleman who turned against his demon-worshipping king, and then betrayed by that same noble, they withdrew into seclusion. These proto-Avariel are described as resembling [[Half-Elf\|half-elves]], save for the presence of large, white-feathered wings on their backs, and their naturally intense beauty. They live simple lives as tribal hunter-gatherers, with males tending to be the tribe's warriors and females its priests. They also have a strong affinity for illusion magic. Possessing stupendous strength for an elven race (minimum [[Strength]] 15 for males and 14 for females!), they possess eagle-like vision, owl-like night vision, and the ability to speak to raptor-birds (that's hawks, falcons and eagles), owls, [[griffon]]s, [[hippogriff]]s and [[pegasus\|pegasi]]. They dislike being at sea, but absolutely ''hate'' to be underground, which can drive them insane with fear. They're much shorter-lived than normal elves, only living as long as half-elves.

	After this, the Al Karak Elam disappeared, until the release of the infamous Complete Book of Elves. Here, now renamed the Avariel (although Al Karak Elam is mentioned an alternate ~~race~~ they are known by in some lands), they appeared as a monster entry in the book's appendix. Now fully resembling winged elves, avariel are defined by their more delicate frames, large eyes and chiseled, angular features. Avariel have lost the bird-speech ability of the Al Karak Elam, and their wing strength has also decreased; whereas the Al Karak Elam fly as easily as they walk, avariel must rest after flying for at least an hour, and they are also vulnerable to flame attacks, which burn their wings and can ground. They are no longer afraid of being at sea, but retain their claustrophobia, and have more restricted weapon skills than common elves, due to their wings getting in the way. They typically wield glass or obsidian weapons, as for various reasons they're not inclined to forge metal. Avariel act more "human" than some elves do, perhaps because of their short lifespan of 300 years, although even by elven standards they tend to be arrogant and aloof, to the point they can't become [[ranger]]s. Unlike the Al Karak Elam, avariel adopt a more elaborate social structure, typically dividing into two castes; warriors and artisans.

	Whilst information is presented in the CBoE to make an avariel player character, it's a matter of teasing out the relevant info from the monster writeup. So, it was followed up by a second Dragon article, "On Wings of Eagles", in issue #233. Here, readers are presented with a full-fledged and easy-to-read PC writeup, as well as some expanded social information, new racial proficiencies and weapons, and a sample avariel city.

After this, avariel faded away into nothing. They reappeared in an [[Unearthed Arcana]] for 5th edition, but haven't made it into any fully official product as a playable race. They also get a brief mention in the campaign Princes of the Apocalypse, where a [[Moon Elf]] named Aerisi Kalinoth imagines herself to be an avariel, and as such uses a combination of ''minor illusion'' and ''fly'' to complete the masquerade.
