The crows of Watched Over are born in Guided. Here they receive their powers of foresight. They gaze and drink from pools black as their eyes. Flocks rise over the city at dawn and dusk.
On occasion, a thief from another land will try to capture a Guided Crow to steal its luck. They sometimes pose as visitors and attempt to bag the crow before their arrival, but the crows usually evade them and always fly home.

All abide the rule of crows.
