Crow Queens

It was once said that a crow could bless the body of a deceased, returning their soul to their body. The crow gave them a second chance, but at a price. The crow's own soul would bind with the deceased's and they would become one, the resurrected now being able to turn into an overly large, ethereal crow. If the crow had been powerful, the resurrected could switch between their crow and a normal crow. But legend also says that the only crows known to be able to do this were hunted, tried for witchcraft, and found guilty. These crows, as we call them, were really an entire race of magickal beings, wiped out entirely because of superstition.

The realm of Rowathi was literally created by the crows. The land imbued with their magick, they created the other bird species. But the crows could not imbue their own magick into their avian counterparts. And thus, the crows had the ability to create life, and take it away. They ruled over the avian kingdom, their power respected and revered. All corvids had the power to create. But not on the scale that the crows were. An unkindness had started a revolt amongst the corvids, creating unease throughout the avian settlements. And then, the Queen was dethroned, the entire crow line eradicated, or so they thought. Nowadays, if someone sees a crow, they report to the Ravens, an elite line of warriors sent out to eradicate any thought of a crow. But the crows have adapted to hide their wings... to mimic other species. And so a revolt shall begin, a war will ensue, but can the crows take back what's rightfully theirs?
