Hey, Avarnia's big and bad too: cross her and you'll be horribly pecked to death by thousands of killer quail...

As for how important she is, she's the Mother of Birds (according to Anaxial's Roster) and therefore presumably worshipped by all birds (including those in human form, such as the early Rinliddans). That's a lot of power and influence. She also knows the secret of ascending from Earth to the Sky World, important for heroquestors; and she once had fire powers sufficient to attempt to melt Valind's Glacier (but she failed and lost those powers, unless someone can rediscover them during the Hero Wars).
