Name: Corvus Nightwhisper Age: 34 | Height: 6'4" | Species: Common Raven Background: From a young age, he was... different. While other young ravens played, Corvus watched and cataloged. They remembered every slight, every secret, every hidden thing. His photographic memory and observational skills made him valuable, but his complete lack of social grace made him isolated. He didn't understand why sharing someone's embarrassing secret was wrong if it was TRUE. Corvus wandered for years, using his skills to survive—selling information, working as a spy, doing interrogations for various unsavory groups. He was good at it. Too good. The work was interesting but lonely. At 29, he encountered Azure during a failed interrogation. Someone had hired Corvus to extract information from the "little blue bandit." Corvus tried every technique. Azure just got angrier and more resistant, which Corvus found fascinating. Eventually, they started talking instead of interrogating. Azure's tactical mind intrigued Corvus. Corvus's encyclopedic knowledge impressed Azure. Azure offered them a position in the Syndicate. Corvus accepted, not for the money, but because Azure was the first person who found his obsessive information gathering USEFUL rather than disturbing. He's been Azure's most trusted advisor for five years, though "trusted" is a strong word—Azure knows Corvus knows things that could destroy him, but also knows Corvus's loyalty is absolute in his own strange way.

ꇙꉣꏂꉔ꒐ꏂꇙ Astaria is populated by every race imaginable. There are some general categories that help people distinguish the races, such as Humanoids and Monsters. Humanoids show intelligence, with speech or communication skills. Monsters act mostly on instinct, though not all are unfriendly; many monsters are domesticated as pets due to the trend. The Humanoids and Monsters can be further divided based on their magical alignment: Lifht Beings and Destulvo Beings, natural and unnatural respectively. This means that they are not divided by good and evil; the distinction is made based on their magical alignment. For those without inherent magical abilities, they are Mitral Beings .
ꍌꏂꄲꍌꋪꋬꉣꁝꌦ Syranu , a fiery region with countless volcanoes. Beyond the volcanoes, there are several interconnected geysers and hot springs that boast of healing properties of one can tolerate the heat, which some Tieflings use for a business. Lanathu , the snow covered mountains, home to many wintry beings. Both humans and Winter Elves also have settlements there, though they reside on the lower reaches of the mountain range. Kirona Woods , while it sounds peaceful, don’t let the name fool you. It is the home place of countless monsters. Firbolgs are some of the few species that live among the monsters, preferring their solitude and harmonious life in nature to living among the other sentient races. They also worship Dustin, the Earth Elemental and live by his practice of balanced living. Ferium Lake , home of Reva, the Water Elemental, lies deep within the Kirona Woods. It is a little slice of paradise. Rianth Mountains , the tallest peaks in the world and home of Barak, the Lightning Elemental. Alizeh, the Wind Elemental, lives in Rianth Pass, between the mountains. Nimlos Forest , a peaceful forest home to a wide variety of Humanoids, most commonly Hybrids. Atrien Desert , home of a variety of species, most commonly Reptilian Humanoids that can withstand the hot and dry conditions. There are cities, where Tribal Chieftains rule. The monsters of the Atrien Desert are particularly dangerous, with hard shells and venom, evolved to survive in the harsh climate.
