"Whether a songbird or a raven they flit around the world without a care in the world, Pleasent beautiful creatures"- Elpis Desponia
Birds are very useful to citizens in the realms of Lord of the Craft. They care commonly used to deliver messages and can also be kept as a pet. They are usually quite obedient and can find those whom they seek. They will also go to a mailbox if the intended recipient of a letter has one. They may never replace couriers but they are just as reliable. Many aviaries exist across the realm where birds can be found.
Behaviour
All birds have different behaviors and aspects that make them unique to Arcas. Some have been around for centuries tamed to receive and send messages. Others, hide as they are cooked for slaughter, and the rest? They are waiting for you to become dinner. Which each new bird one might encounter please proceed with caution. Mostly if they come across loud behavior and sounds birds will fly off without a second thought.
Uses
Some birds are frequently used for sending messages, as they have been for hundreds of years across various realms.
