Feng Shi Bo

Feng Shi Bo

The Feng Shi Bo, also known as the Onyx Crowmen are Elementals conjured from the Winds of Yin. ^[1a]

They are created by the Shadoweavers of the Moon Empress and serve as assassins and spies of the Celestial Court. Feng Shi Bo have no compassion or fear, and like Daemons are not born and can never die. The Onyx Crowmen answer only to the Empress and in her absence, the Jade Dragon, Yuan Bo. ^[1a]

They are unable to lie. ^[1b]

Appearance

They are half the height of human of Cathay but with backward-jointed legs and upper bodies covered in black feathers. Feng Shi Bo have long hard beaks with flat black eyes. ^[1a]

Language

Their speech sounds like croaking and only the Empress and the Jade Dragon can understand them. ^[1c]

Perception

The Crowmen do not perceive the world like mortals but rather see in the four shades of the elemental winds of Yin and re especially attuned to lies and secrets. ^[1a]

Quotes

The Empress' eyes and ears are the Onyx Crowman. They flock, gather and observe throughout the Celestial Dragon Empire wherever something momentous or calamitous happens. I do not trust them, nor do I understand why the Moon Empiress does. ~ Du Zhen, Astromancer.[2]
