Esildua

A rare trait stemming from the Effluvial Crow bloodline.

The Effluvial Crow’s trademark contagion. A distinctly bittersweet smell swiftly accompanies it once secreted from their claws, trailing a line of black smoke in its wake.

If afflicted, enhanced strength, fever, dizziness and confusion are among the first symptoms to develop. Once it has fully incubated within its new host, one final symptom will appear at last--uncontrollable bloodlust.

This strain is used to goad the Effluvial Crow’s opponent into attacking without pretense, allowing them both to engage in what is considered a “pure fight.” Healing potions only serve to strengthen the infection’s effects, speeding up what is already a dangerously quick process.

The greater the lifeforce of the victim, the hotter the disease burns, until at last, the victim's body succumbs from physical strain, unable to keep up with their own rampaging madness.

This type of strain is able to be used on all members of the Crow family with exception to the Effluvial Crows themselves--who are naturally immune. It is delivered via a puncture from their claws.

A physical trait of Eboncrows, where one’s wings are a bit shorter, but also more finely shaped than most of the Crow variants. As a result they are swifter and more agile in aerial combat compared to their cousins. It makes them very formidable fighters as well as difficult to catch.

Few are able to outfly a pair of Eboncrow wings in terms of speed and grace, but if one does not train up their stamina, then it may only be a matter of time before they are caught up to.

An Eboncrow latent perk. The individual works naturally well in groups--too well, in fact. They will prefer to be part of a mob rather than fight alone, but once having blended into the crowd of angry faces, they are able to weave in and out effortlessly, picking up hits where others leave off and sleuthing for other equally delicious opportunities to contribute.

An Eboncrow latent perk. Individuals with this trait are naturally good at making connections within all societies. Rules and etiquette come easily to them even if they don’t believe in it themselves. They can naturally find their way to a black market or ties with the societal underworld. Either way if there’s a question that needs answering, they usually know who to ask.
