The kenku race
The kenku once served a mysterious, powerful entity on another plane of existence. Some believe they were minions of Taifun, Palace of Tempests, while others say that they were scouts and explorers for the Citadel of Ice and Steel. Whatever the truth, according to legend, the kenku betrayed their master. Unable to resist the lure of a beautiful sparkling treasure, the kenku plotted to steal the item and escape to the Mortal Realm.
Unfortunately for the kenku, their master discovered their plan before they could enact it. Enraged, the entity imposed three dreadful curses upon them. First, the kenku's beloved wings withered and fell away from their bodies, leaving them bound to the earth. Second, because their ingenuity and skill had turned toward scheming against their patron, the spark of creativity was torn from their souls. Finally, to ensure that the kenku could never divulge any secrets, their master took away their voices. Once the entity was satisfied that they had been sufficiently punished, the kenku were set loose on the Mortal Realm.
But even for such powerful entities, it is not easy to totally make the qualities of a race disappear....
