White Krow

The Sagacious Krow

Piercing the Veil

The White Krow is an arcane species who's sight is capable of seeing through all secrets & perceiving near anything in Fate. Veiled in platinum white feathers & gifted bright, luminescent eyes, the White Krow is one of only a handful of creatures fated enough to survive the transition through the veil & it is commonly mythicized that Krows serve as the spies of the gods to oversee their domain.  

Deeply Sought After

The White Krow is prized by all races for multiplus reasons; as pets, they live timeless lives, making them ideal pets for races of extremely longlived lifespans; as prey, their souls & bodies serve the nourishment of a hundred creatures; as a trophy, their feathers can be used to veil even the most devious of secrets and their eyes can uncover the truth of nigh any subject.  

A Voracious Species

White Krow are Voracious and consume other creatures' shape & soul to ascend. They hunt their prey through magical means, using predacious werks to incapacitate their prey before consuming them alive. A White Krow is unlikely to hunt creatures much larger than itself, but there are notable historical accounts of White Krow hunting down prey as large as moose & mountain lions.  

No Easy Prey

The White Krow is no mere bird & the grand insight it carries allows it to stay clear of danger for a great distance; a good reason why few will ever catch a glimpse. But those inventive or fated enough to encounter one are far from overcoming the challenge of taking its feathers. An arcane species, the White Krow is capable of a great many feats of magic, employing werks of great power to avoid having its Fate cut short.
