Introduction & Loose Guidelines
Welcome one and all lore enthusiasts to the Effluvial Crow (subspecies) lore board!
This thread is entirely dedicated to showcasing all artistic aspects of the species in question, from written works to visual arts, everything in between. This is intended as a hub for flavor text, world and character building, as well as highlighting your feathered companion for all to pause and peruse!
Writings need not be complex. Beginners and old hands are all invited to partake. So be sure to have fun, be creative and if there are any questions that I can help answer to get you settled in, don't hesitate to forward me a PM!

- Note: Concerning all sections
- Everything can be written in first, second or third person. You are welcome to format and decorate it if you so choose, but you are not expected to!
Do however much or little you like, as the goal here is to share, have fun and breathe life into your Crows as well as the world around them!

- The Noble & The Notorious (Titles)
- A title for your Crow, be it knighted in nobility or wrought with notoriety, the choice is yours! To register, simply link the Crow in question to this thread, along with your desired title for them. This is a light effort method to encourage character development and also give others a feel for your Crow!
- Note: Make sure that your desired title has not already been taken by another Crow by checking the title section in advance! Accompanying lore is welcome and beloved, but entirely optional. You can even claim a title now and add supplementary lore later if you so wish.
- Additionally, if your Crow has been exalted, their title will be relinquished and removed from the list, free for others to take. So, please bear that in mind!

- Crow Bio Showcase
- Have you finished writing your Crow's bio page? Awesome! Time to show it off, and here's the place to do it! All you need to do is link me the Crow in question and I'll list them here.
- Written Works & Little Quirks
- This section is for showcasing your all written works, from your Crow's origin stories to dialogues and exchanges or their monologues and musings, as well as any rumors, adventures and perhaps even misunderstandings! It can star not only your Crows, but other dragons that they may be interacting with as well.
- Crow-Themed Fortune Readings
- Effluvial Crows have been known to read fortunes using the myriad of scarlet feathers that they have collected over their lifetime. Though these fortunes are often self-serving, they have been occasionally known to lend their services to would be companions that have warmed the far reaches of their warrior hearts--or alternatively, for a bit of coin. Regardless of the motive, their fortunes told are documented under this section.
- Though this practice primarily originated from Effluvial origins sometimes their sister variants have also been known to partake despite own lack of scarlet feathers. Substitutes may be procured through other means, such as dying white feathers or a great enthusiastic plucking of a poor nearby victim whose fluffy plumes happen both to fit the mark and tick the box. Needless to say such falsities are neither encouraged nor endorsed by the Effluvials themselves.
- Note: If you have a Crow that offers any type of fortune readings, let me know who as well as what their rates are and I will list them here for others to see.

- Ask a Crow!
- Hypothetical situations and little prompts where we can better know your particular Crow! How would they react to x or y? Whether when disaster strikes, or at an awkward family reunion!
- The Crow Clinic
- A special spreadsheet generator designed to coincide with Deviant Crow (level 25 Lesser Crows) lore. The premise is centered around disease research and recording by applying their unique abilities to generate strange and unusual results.
- Poems and Paintings
- For the artists and artistic souls alike, this section is to showcase art of any medium and written poetry related to Crows, especially your Crow!
- Art need not be drawn by you, so long as the artist is okay with it being shared. Pictures will be reduced to a suitable thumbnail clip that can then be clicked on to expand it.
- Poems will be listed as a title, and in the order it has been submitted to the thread. The title will then be linked to the post containing the rest of the content.
