Homebrew Thrice Blessed Kenku Species Details
Thrice Blessed Kenku are kenku who fought against the others of their kind when they tried to use Quorlinn's teachings to betray Akadi. Another possibility is a kenku who redeemed themselves in life and was reborn as Thrice blessed. After thousands of years Akadi's distrust and paranoia of the kenku's have subsided enough to allow her most loyal kenku journey to the material plane. However even though she loves her loyalists she still worries that they too might one day betray her. It is because of that she only allows them 60 years and then pulls them back to the elemental plane of air for the judgment of their actions on the material plane. It is though this judgement that she decides if they will return to the material plane after 100 years by her side. If one of her kenku are killed in the material plane their souls are hastened to the elemental plane of air where they will reform their physical form over 1000 years. (They come in 2 colors albino white with red eyes and chromatic black with pitch black eyes.)
Class RP Suggestions
Wizards: Thrice Blessed are among the most disgruntled of the kenku. Taking much longer to learn spell then other classes they normally get poor reviews after their 60 years are up and have to wait 100 years to continue their research. If you play a wizard i would suggest one that is chronically ingrained in to passed of the campaign or world your playing in.
Paladins, Warlocks, Cleric: Thrice Blessed can only be honor bond, worshippers, or pact holders of Akadi who is tempist domain.
Rogue, fighter, rangers, bards and monks: Are among the few allowed to still serve Quorlinn. They protectors of the dark skies and secrets.

Posted Nov 29, 2021The is the author,
This is my first time publishing a race. The only thing that is an issue is that the +1 ability score is stuck on wisdom. You will have to over ride the scores in your character editor if you want something different. I hope you enjoy!
