Ravenfolk {Kenku} {Erethes}
Ravenfolk were created when Odin decided he wanted his spies to be more versatile or trustworthy, Making a humanoid Raven race seemed like the perfect way to solve that issue. After centuries of following the All-Father, The Ravenfolk eventually broke out of his control and spread out across Erethes, Becoming a full-fledged race.
And even though that was such a long time ago, Some believe that Odin still has control over their race, Even if they don't realize it. This is not true, But that won't stop some from thinking it. Either way, Ravenfolk have a tendency to avoid any anchors or commitments, Not wanting to be kept down by people, places or organizations. This causes most Ravenfolk to be wanderers, Not staying in one place for too long. This nomadic lifestyle keeps most people from trusting Ravenfolk, Thinking of them as bandits or no-good vagrants looking for some quick coin.
Despite this, Ravenfolk continue to try and live their best lives, Much to the dismay of others. Some say Odin is still trying to regain control of the Ravenfolk for his own benefit, But he has much more important things to be doing than regaining the servitude of a people that have long forgotten the feeling, So he's given up on it for now.
