Silver Beak
A band of kenku pirates that operates mainly in the waters of the Karaga Sea founded by refugees from the Northern Territories' Koulan Forests.
Despite international efforts to stop the Silver Beak, the pirate band has survived for decades as hundreds of kenku fight to defend the only community they've ever had. In the early 900's the group waged a lengthy campaign against the desert shores of Sabha, leading some to speculate on their motives: are they being bribed by Sardivelia's leader Paoli Piedmonte to weaken a regional rival, or are they after something more valuable in the Campanel Desert?
In the 930's the Silver Beak's motives became clearer: to create an airship fleet to lift the kenku curse of flightlessness once and for all. The Silver Beak tasked the Handgun with stealing blueprints for Rakkan airships, and after years of trial and error their fleet was finally starting to take shape. Rival factions and wary nations would begin taking notice as well...
History
A large tribe of kenku fled from the Northern Territories during the most violent portion of the Kiri-Kawa-Oda War, their homeland ravaged by the magic constructs crafted to fight on behalf of the elven Kiri Clan. Seizing abandoned fishing boats and trawlers in the Gulf of Lotan, a young Jian Caa guided his fellow kenku through the treacherous waters of the Karaga Sea for several decades. Even during the Sunken God's Reign of Terror when countless sahuagin terrorized the ocean waters, Jian kept his fellow kenku working towards some larger goal: a homeland to call their own. After a string of successful raids in the years after the Sunken God's defeat the Silver Beak became less active, and Jian was last spotted in 907 docked near the Sabhan city of Qazvin before disappearing from public sight.
Amara Fireheart and Veridan Solidor did a business deal with the Silver Beak in Oridelfa to help Giovanni Rosso obtain some drugs and an enchanted spyglass in 896. In 935 a group of adventurers from the Gilded Hecat Guild rescued a Silver Beak member named Shen Flapper from the wreckage of a crashed airship in the Campanel Desert, helping him recuperate in the town of Qazvin.
