Hawks

Hawks

Sharp-eyed hunting birds associated with falconry, warning, and the high branches of mythic trees.

In the North

Hawks fit farms, cliffs, river valleys, and noble hunting. They make good companions for scouts because they see motion before ground travelers do.

Myth and Folklore

Veðrfölnir, the hawk seated between the eagle’s eyes in Yggdrasil, gives hawks a mythic association with impossible vantage and messages that cross worlds.

Campaign Use

Use hawks as hunting birds, familiars, warning signs, or messengers of druids, jarls, and land spirits.
