The Cranes of Adrallan are a peculiar species of the realms. They often kept entirely to themselves and live in secluded sections of the forests of Adrallan. Rivers and reeds are their home; there they hide and dart with the speed of horses. It is because of their extreme speed that these cranes are at times coveted as mounts.

The crimson flare of the feathers of the cranes is created from the mass amount of both salmon and berries in their diet. While the cranes are born white, the huge intake of salmon and berries to make up for the colossal caloric intake of their speed eventually tinges their feathers with a shimmering crimson hue. Peace and wisdom are what these cranes embody. They are highly intelligent for animals, capable of learning through visual observation and eventually developing the ability to mimic the sounds of other animals, including the common tongue. The cranes are docile to a fault. They choose always to run instead of fight, and their only defence mechanisms are to batter with massive wings and to scratch and bite; long claws sit at the base of their powerful legs should they become completely cornered.

The taste of these cranes is something that along with their gorgeous feathers, has forced their numbers to dwindle, dwindle, die. Few of these cranes exist anymore, and speculation suggests less than twenty exist in the Realm anymore.

Creation/Origin

Once the descendants arrived in Athera they saw these massive cranes, like any typical curious person they killed these creatures and tasted them. The descendants loved the taste and went on a killing spree onto these creatures. They were killed off until onto a dozen or so were left before the descendants were forced to move, the cranes seeing that they could no longer live in Athera moved with the descendants.

Behavior

These massive beasts also have massive diets, they sprint to match the speeds with schools of fish before scooping them up with their beaks. Once they finish their tiring task they nap under large branches of leaves. From eating so much and sleeping so much these beasts grow up to a huge eight and a half feet, with the leader of the flock at a larger nine feet.

These rare, large creatures travel in small packs of eight and twelve with most of them led by a massive called a matriarch. They are the oldest and wisest of the flock, and normally have the mostly red on their body, making them clearly distinguishable. This has caused there to be some beliefs of cranes being fully red. While the oldest do tend to lead the flock, it isn't for long, since these creatures only live for twenty-five to thirty years.
