The Kenku originated from a small island, where they shared the land with the Aarakocra, whom they’ve often disputed with. Several of the Kenku who had frequently turned to their god, Krauzden, grew tired of their god not hearing their pleas to gain an advantage over the Aarakocra over territory disputes (unaware that the Aarakocra also worshiped Krauzden), so they hatched a plan and used ancient magic in order to gain immense power. This, however, not only drew Krauzden’s attention – but his wrath as well. He stripped all Kenku of their ability of flight and speech; flight, because this what they loved and speech, so that they could never recite the spell again. He demanded that the Kenku prove themselves to him and then he will remove the curse. However, that day will never come as Krauzden was one of the gods that was murdered by L’orak’ana.
