Corvidah

Appearance
The Corvidah are a species similar to Crow/Raven people. Their faces are covered in jewelled beak masks which tend to differ for each gender slightly, as well as having different types of decoration depending on their religious efforts. Their face and body is mostly hidden by a long black cloak and bandages with differently coloured insignia. Several feathers are attached to their outfits. Feathers and clothes have patterns resembling the ones of crows and Ravens. Females usually wear brighter, more sandy colours with more bandages in general.

Behaviour
Corvidah are a non-hostile race for the most part. They usually stray from strangers. They have an eye for shiny things, thus offering them gemstones or other similar objects will guarantee a friendly interaction from their side.

Abilities
When spreading out their wings and using their cloak as extra support they can glide for short distances, similar to how flying squirrels can do. Their preferred weapon of choice are spears and javelins. Their magic is mainly focused on wind-spells as well as using runes and different symbols for casting. Oftentimes they enchant their weapons with spells to deal more damage in battle.

Culture
They are a tribal culture and live in forest environments. Their houses are inside of huge trees with bridges in the treetops connecting several houses in a village. The Corvidah prefer a simple life.

History
This species has always lives far from others. They rarely interact with other races on Deus, usually only sticking to the simplest means of trading. The Nubislae have always been a threat to them, though unbeknownst to almost all Villages and families, these monsters only came in existence due to people starting to believe in them being real. Over the years the population of Nubislae has increased to such a degree that civilians started to doubt the existence of their gods, because “Why would they do this to us?”, thus leading to a huge decline in their magical abilities. Now with the additional threat of The Forgotten wandering the planet, several Clerics decide to try and convince their believers to follow the rituals again and to pray to their gods to give them strength and help them fight off this new monster.

Other
They lay eggs, commonly 1-3 eggs at a time. They are slightly Patriarchal. Average Lifespan: 50 years Sexually Mature at age 13 (26% of their lives), full adult at 17(34% of their lives).
