Soraya, named after the first falconer appointed by Serra herself,[1] was the last known of Falconers of Aysen, on Ulgrotha.
Description[ | ]
As all members of her family line, Soraya could speak the language of birds. As a falconer, she was respected and honored, for to have the respect of the great Mesa Falcons was to have the respect of Serra herself. More than a few of the common caretakers at the Serra Aviary suffered nasty bites from the Mesa Falcons, when they got too close.
The duty of Soraya wasn't limited to the aviary, however. In case of invasion or in times of trouble, the Falconer always seemed to be the first to know of any calamity, not only in Onella but in all of Aysen. This was because, in times of great danger, one of the Beast Walkers would transform themselves into a crow, fly to the Aviary at Onella, and report to Soraya. For this, to take on the duties of being the Falconer was a lifelong duty with many hardships and responsibilities.[2]
Given that hundreds of years have passed since her natural lifetime, it is likely that Soraya is long dead.
