Kril Rookeries

The two best known rookeries of Kril are The Rock Where Sygil Lost His Beads and The Meadow That Shielded Marakhai From The Wind. Though to the scholars of Dragsa, the simple traditions of including the story of a place through its name might seem childish or even ridiculous at times, it serves the Kril well. Behind the name of each rookery, there’s a story and a lesson.  
The Kril that live in The Rock Where Sygil Lost His Beads will look around themselves thrice every time they drop something in hopes of never repeating their ancestor’s mistake. If you’re lucky enough, they might even tell you the whole story of how that poor bird wallowed in self-pity for nearly a century. Though, if they call you “as blind as Sygil”, you might reconsider your life choices or invest in a pair of glasses.
 
Inhabitants of The Meadow That Shielded Marakhai From The Wind are the most peaceful and most numerous group of Kril. They rarely wander beyond the protection of the trees and rocky hills that shield them from the harsh elements. It’s there that you might encounter the Ancient Krils and seek their infinite wisdom. But it might be worth remembering that Marakhai’s story ended in tragedy.
  Rookeries aren’t as sophisticated as the dwellings of Dryads or Kutauri, mostly due to the scarcity of resources. Their wooden houses are smaller and usually tucked in between rocks or trees. One might not even notice that they’ve entered a rookery, partially due to the clever disguises and partially to the inherent magic of illusion that these bird-folks wield with such proficiency.
