Homebrew Crow-Folk (Ebbing Tides) Species Details
A feathered folk resembling large black birds, Crow-Folk share many qualities with their namesake. They are clever, curious, and often inscrutable, they are enigmatic to other races
who struggle to interpret their unique language of their minuscule tics and gestures. Not much is known of Crow-Folk history before the Founding, and any effort to do so is made more difficult given their preference of living in the now.
Crow-Folk are generally slight in build, and can vary quite widely in height - anywhere from 3 to 5 feet. Their faces sport large beaks that are ideal for cracking through their favorite foods, while their hands and feet sport large claws and are covered with a tough, scaly skin. While there is some slight variety in plumage most Crow-Folk are covered in dark feathers which allows them to slow fall.
Crow-Folk the most short-lived race in the Citadel, reaching at most 40 years of age. Their short lives encourage many to make the most of things, leading many to search for greatness in the Lands Beyond.
