Lore
Bracequill had its feathers sealed into steel so it could never be torn again. Rune-light runs in the veins now. It doesn't flinch, and it doesn't remember why it once hid.
The Mantle Owl
Beasts with an owl's face, a lion's tail and wings worn like cloaks, who walk on four legs. They came down from the high dark and hunt in silence under the stars that made them. A Mantle Owl's wings show what it chose to hold on to.
