Kenku

Kenku are avian intelligent creatures that originate on many of the inner and outer planes.

Koofs
Koofs are only distinguishable from Corvin Kenkus because they have a red beak instead of black, but they could not be more distantly related. They split from Kenkus before Pazunia flipped to the other side of the Maelstrom (possibly at the same time Kenkus were created), and are therefore both native to the material planes and Pazunia, but only found in the highest mountains of Ardun, usually near portals to Pazunia, where they live in primitive tribes that worship Pazuzu and other primordials. There is a small chance that Koof eggs laid in Pazunia will hatch as Corvins, and vice-versa. Despite being native to the Material Plane, Koofs are not the progenitors of any other races of Kenku. They are very uncurious about geography and rarely travel. All other races are the result of later Corvin Kenku expeditions to material planes.

Dendrite Kenkus
Dendrite Kenkus are identifiable by their brown and white plumage speckled with tan, grey and black. They are the descendents of a group of neutral-alligned Corvins who immitated the Aaracokra's hunting techniques, and became renowned hunters before migrating to Hyperborea.

Kissas
Kissas, or Fey Kenku, are identifiable by their green to teal plumage with black eyestripes and long tails. They originated in the Feywild when an unseelie fey lord wished to retain their devious nature as spies, but make them more beautiful to fit in better. They are almost universally unseelie, and their small colonies exist in unseelie lands where they serve unseelie fey lords.

Perisees
Perisees, or Fell Kenku, are relatively small, grey kenku who originated in the Shadowfell. They are well suited to camouflage in the Shadowfell, but take up residence among other races as long as they have a small tribal flock in the area. They are the descendents of Kenku hired as spies and corrupted by the fell realm.

Kyanoids
Kyanoid Kenku are identifiable by their solid blue and white colouration, with black stripes and speckles. They originated in Manatuana and populate many islands there, where they collect treasures into small economies. Corvin Kenkus do business in Manatuana, but generally live among other races, whereas Kyanoid Kenkus take over entire islands and live in flocks. This means most travellers still only encounter solitary Corvins, and not Kyanoids.

Corvins
Covins, originating in Pazunia, are the protogenitors of the Kenku races. They were created by Pazuzu, or perhaps some cosmic chaotic event involving the plane. Corvins Kenku, being entirely black, are by far the most common variety, consisting of the only members of the race in all planes except those where other races originated. Even in these other planes, such as the Feywild, the local race still only consists of a half or fewer of the total, with Corvin Kenkus making up the other half or more. In Ardun, the Koofs are so rare and so infrequently encountered that many people do not know they exist, and will have only met Corvin Kenkus if they have met any at all.
