Bazdi

Bazdi, also referred to as Grave-birds or bone-pickers, are a family of scavenging Mage-Birds, endemic to many regions throughout Galimma. These large-winged creatures are best known as scavengers that can feed on long-dead carcasses and, most infamously, the lost souls of the dead, restoring their own mana-pools. Bazdi manifest their innate magic in the form of enchanted droppings, which are famously efficient fertilizers that can restore otherwise barren wasteland. For this reason Bazdi are seen as a grim but essential creature that excises filth and returns it as new growth. The Rhathiki Master of Funerals, History, and Agriculture is depicted often as a looming Bazdi, processor for the dead, retainer of their memories, and sower of life thereafter.
