a large gathering of ravens, known as an unkindness. These intelligent and enigmatic creatures perch on branches, rooftops, and ledges, their dark feathers gleaming under the sunlight. An unkindness is not merely a random congregation of birds; it exudes an aura of significance and hidden meaning.
interactions with the unkindness may reveal subtle patterns in the ravens' behavior. The birds communicate through a complex system of caws, clicks, and gestures, conveying messages to each other in a language that is incomprehensible to human ears. Though their intentions may be enigmatic, the ravens seem to possess an innate understanding of the world's hidden mysteries and the forces that shape it.
These gatherings of ravens might act as omens, foretelling imminent danger or guiding toward hidden treasures or secrets. The ravens could also be conduits of ancient knowledge, capable of providing cryptic hints or riddles that lead to important quests or artifacts.
However, one should approach the unkindness with caution and respect. These ravens are not to be trifled with, for they are fiercely protective of their secrets and their domain. If provoked or threatened, they can retaliate cunningly, using their aerial agility and coordinated attacks to harry intruders. Alternatively, players who demonstrate kindness, respect, or an affinity for nature may find themselves earning the trust and favor of the unkindness, leading to unexpected alliances or access to their hidden wisdom.

These cunning birds have been trained to carry out a nefarious purpose—to steal valuables from unsuspecting targets. With their jet-black feathers shimmering with an almost mischievous aura, these ravens exhibit a heightened intelligence and an uncanny ability to operate in a coordinated fashion.
Under the command of an enigmatic figure or organization, the trained ravens possess an uncanny knack for identifying valuable items. They are adept at spotting precious gems, ancient artifacts, or even important documents, using their sharp eyes and dexterous talons to snatch them away from their owners. Their training has honed their stealth, agility, and precision skills, making them formidable thieves in their own avian way.
Mechanically a Thieving unkindness is the same as a common unkindness except it substitutes the Revenge of Ravens action with the Envy of Ravens Action.
