Any city dweller worth their salt knows to seek cover when they hear the dreaded cooing of a dire pigeon—or will soon learn to do so. These large birds have developed themselves into the apex breadcrumb predators, and a flock of dire pigeons is reason for any baker to tremble in their shoes.

 While dire pigeons are not plentiful, they are hard to miss when they have settled down somewhere. Armed with sharp talons and an insatiable appetite, they will shamelessly harass market stalls and travellers until they get a hold of a morsel of food—after which they’ll come back even more ferociously for seconds.

 There are some who have managed to domesticate dire pigeons, breeding them into world-class carrier pigeons. Where regular carrier pigeons are good for little more than ferrying terse scrolls of writing, a dire pigeon might easily be entrusted with an entire book, making them both extremely useful and extremely expensive.
