The aviansie follow the god Armadyl, who united the warring Aviansie tribes on Abbinah. It was Armadyl who brought the Aviansie to Gielinor during the Second Age, establishing an empire atop the floating citadels, eventually leading them into the Gielinorian God Wars of the Third Age, a decision that later led to the race's near-extinction during Zamorak's destruction of Forinthry toward the end of the war. Only a fraction of the Aviansie race present on Gielinor survived this tragedy and retreated back to Abbinah.
