Kenku

In the minds of people from the Nineward Coalition, the races that most often come to mind when thinking of the Beastlands are the kobolds and the kenku. This is because, unless you travel through the Empire of Fangs, the only way to get to the Beastlands is by ship and with a few exceptions, the port cities that dot the Inner Sea are run by the kenku in the day and the kobolds at night.
It was perhaps inevitable that the kenku became the premier administrators in the Beastlands. Gifted with an incredibly accurate memory and and sharp powers of observation, the kenku are uniquely suited to running the sprawling ports and managing the huge amounts of trade goods that move through them every day. And with the kobolds keeping the work going at night while the kenku sleep, the Beastlands has become an economic force to be reckoned with.
