Beastspeaking
Bird Stuff

Relationships
The Black Coyotes: A small-time band of street kids trying to survive in Ketra by whatever means they can. These means are usually illegal.

History
Grimr was born the son of a prostitute in Ketra. She did her best to raise him alone, but when he was six, she got sick. It wasn't long before she died, and he found himself sent to an orphanage. His years there were miserable; the staff was cruel, the food was scarce, and nearly nobody ever got adopted. It was a place to pack away the unwanted, nothing more.

When he was twelve, he and his few friends escaped with the belief that they would be better off living on the street than spending one more minute in that place. And they were right; they were less hungry as thieves, and infinitely more free. They joined up with a few other kids and called themselves the Black Coyotes, after the animalistic features of their leader.

Things were good for the next three years, with Grimr rising in the ranks above some of the older kids. He was clever and quick, almost as quick as the boss himself. He was skilled enough that when a mage offered to pay the gang to steal something from a rival for him, the boss sent Grimr.

It was supposed to be an easy job: get in, find the spellbook, get out. No one was supposed to be home, but the owner returned early. A fight ensued, and when the dust settled, Grimr's knife was in the mage's chest. With their dying breath, they cursed the boy to spend the rest of his days in a form befitting his crime: a crow.

Beastspeaking may be common among mages in Adela, but nobody he knew could understand it. So he fled the city to live in the countryside and search for anyone who could make him human again.
