  "description": "[b]Foraes:[/b] From a distance, a [i]forae[/i] could be mistaken for a \"strider\":/posts/105302, but these once-extinct, big-beaked birds originate from draconic revival efforts rather than druidic influence. Compared to striders and \"shirrows\":/posts/153104, foraes are among the bulkier and more combative protobird types, though they are less adventurous, preferring to anchor themselves to a specific territory. Most are found in rural and grassland communities where they serve as guards along the outskirts, perfectly suited to run and cover a lot of ground.\n\nAs an ancient feral species accustomed to Midrian society since day one, they are deeply aligned with both the culture and the bed."
