Raven Unkindness

When the sky darkened with wings and the cacophony of harsh cries filled the air, the travelers knew they had strayed too far. The unkindness descended like a storm, their black feathers gleaming like obsidian as their sharp beaks and talons struck with unnatural ferocity. It was as if the air itself carried their malice. Even in the chaos, the ravens seemed to act with a dreadful intelligence, circling and driving their prey into corners from which there was no escape. And when the last scream faded, only feathers and silence remained to mark their passage.

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats

Raven Unkindnesses gather in regions with a blend of wilderness and civilization, thriving near forests, ruins, graveyards, or abandoned structures. These areas provide ample resources for scavenging and roosting, as well as a haunting atmosphere befitting their eerie reputation. Often, the sites where unkindnesses form are places steeped in death, tragedy, or forgotten magic, leading some to believe the birds are drawn to the echoes of such events.

Behaviour

Unlike solitary ravens or casual flocks, a Raven Unkindness operates with an unnerving sense of unity and purpose. These birds act as though guided by a singular will, swarming predators or interlopers with coordinated strikes and chilling precision. They are notorious scavengers, but when provoked or disturbed, their collective aggression can overwhelm even the fiercest adversaries. Locals often ascribe mysterious disappearances to an unkindness, whispering tales of these birds luring wanderers to their doom.
