    BLRE

    "saw BLRE across history books from Song 400 onward" "A memoriam in the newspaper, dated Song 488. B.L.R. E. was a scholar of the avium, awarded for his research in multiple fields. He was a beloved professor of the university and a true mage til the end. (There’s also a picture of him, a gray-ish corvum with one monocle. He wears a big grin. He doesn’t look like the other corvum you ran into on the road)."

    Team 2 sent to investigate Scorched Grove post-GC

    "(Report from perch guard and avium joint team effort) On the coldest night of the year, we sent another exhibition down. One area of the Scorched Grove was still extremely hot and thus inaccessible, but with almost one hundred percent certainty we conclude that there exists a seal that holds the aspect down, but due to the environment the seal has likely been hidden under ash and obstructed from view."
