    Currently, KF has access to Ospryan Valkyrie and Jek, The Silver General. Wouldn't it be great if the Ospryans were made into a sub-theme? In my mind, I think the answer is yes! Here are some possibilities...

    Ospryan WindMage

    Race: Beast, Ospryan | Class: Mage | Size: Small
    Artwork: A flying Ospryan wears a dark robe and holds a shimmering staff. On the tip of the staff is a large clear globe, which contains a dark cloud and lightning.
    Flavor-Text: "I will strike them down with a flash and the thunder will be our victory cry."

    Ospryan Harpy

    Their back story could be that they are a matriarchal society that was once almost extinct. Their numbers started to grow once they allied themselves with K'thir. Females are somewhat common but males are rare. They fight to protect one another and rebuild their numbers.

    @Cinder405 gave me the idea of an Ospryan sub-theme. Thoughts?

    I like it
    For Windmage remove gale it is too strong give wind aura instead
    Wind mastery looks cool but remember osprey got race: beast so they can easily get beast boost 3 so if you stack AS with boost they will get huge damage and defence boost
    same with sky lancer 30% dmg boost on top of 12 dmg is very strong
    12+3 (boost)+ 2 (AS) + 30% (SL) = 20 dmg
    romove territorial from harpy and give it fury

    Hunter flying = wind striker.
    I don't like rend or berserker as upgrade options.
    The stats are meh and I think a bloodfiend should have life siphon or something.

    Dropped Berserker 1 and replaced it with Life Siphon. Dropped Hunter: Flying and replaced it with Winstriker. I made it's stats "meh" because, he has Thirst for Battle (which will increase his Damage/Defence) and he also has Bulwark: Ospryan as a way of adding more HP. Once you factor in those variables, then his stats don't look to shabby any more. ;)

    I have been waiting forever for someone to come up with something like this. I love this idea and if this happens my Jek will finally have theme besides beasts.

    Hmm, kind of strange Jek is a split rune when both Jek's and the Valkyrie's flavor text mentions K'thir.

    As a ST player I hate letting go of a hero, but he feels a lot more like a KF champion(he'd have to lose 1 spd though lol).

    And to the OP, amazing ideas man, I'm also a fan of this mini mini theme(as of now), and all ideas in the thread are awesome too.

    I wondered why they had Jek and the Ospryan valkryie, but nothing beyond that for Ospryans. Seems like the perfect thing to add.

    Ospryan Keeper
    Faction: K'thir Forest | Rarity: Uncommon
    Race: Beast, Ospryan | Class: Wizard | Size: Small
    Flavor-Text: "Ospryan keepers have kept their history and culture safe within their vast collections of scrolls and books. They found the magic tomes to be useful in protecting their trove of knowledge."
    Nora Cost: (not familiar with nora cost calculation) 80ish?

    Champion Stats
    DMG: 10 | SPD: 6 | RNG: 4-5 | DEF: 0 | HP: 40
    Champion Abilities
    Attack: Magic | Flight | Counterspell mastery
    Upgrade Path 1
    Improve: Damage |Grant: Evasive Maneuvers(3)* | Improve: Speed
    Upgrade Path 2
    Attack Charged (2) | Deploy Charged (1) | Abuse Charged (2)

    *Grant applies for 2 turns
    *Evasive Maneuvers(3): flying creature gains evasive (3) and reflexes (3). The creature loses this bonus if it is grounded or otherwise loses flying. Skystriker

    Wanted to have something that was unique to Ospyrans, and thinking about them as the air superiority types, I decided that Evasive Maneuvers was something like that. They dominate the air, but if they get grounded, they are vulnerable. Might call it something else, like Ospyran Agility.

    This champion, on the other hand, is all about support. Keepers don't risk their knowledge on the front lines, so they support the Ospyrans by negating enemy spells and providing support.

    I don't want to say this but they have slow speeds on purpose if they all had 8 speed they be OPhas hell. I would suggest to @Xirone to give some of them 5 speed cause 6 speed is really fast for KF

    Faction: K'thir Forest/Savage Tundra | Rarity: Exotic

    Upgrade Path 1

    2 Things:

    1. I've wanted more Ospryians for quite some time, so I'm happy to see more (and more prominent) people pushing for more, especially with more or less interesting designs.

    2. How does a Harpy not have Screech? Should at least have Attack: Sonic.
