• Eyes


• Ferns (or more simply, the visual shorthand of Plants in general: an idea taking root, unfurling, and dispersing; the Northern hemisphere’s verdant landscape; concepts of being stationary, grounded, rooted, earthy, and internal)

In formal depictions, it’s only considered polite to include all faces of a Formwalker, though honestly there are a number of oft-used shorthand symbols most bird folk recognize as alluding to Corvus. The image of Corvus is associated with (and can be identified in shorthand by) the following symbolism:

• The Lidded Crescent, or the symbol of the Moon


• The Sky, and its associated shorthands


• The Odd, or odd numbers
  the concept of struggle (Odd numbers are seen as “located” above the World Line in Bird Folk mathematical notation)


• A sense of Order (the choosing of a winner, the awarding of justice, and Corvus as arbitrator and as a final decider: Corvus has the authority to claim one side over the other as having more weight)


• Looking to the Left


• Looking Down

Black / Dark, through her association with the North

Corvus is also often connected to the color Aqua, through her associations with the East

• The Eye of Corvus / All Seeing Eye
  (signifying Watchfulness and Guardianship)

• The Ranger Responsibility/Role of Keeper (and the unaffiliated Follower of Corvus role, also known as “Keepers”): recordkeeping, orderkeeping, truthkeeping

• The direction Eye/North (the concept of “Upriver,” The color Black, Darkness/Night)




• The Location, and the Creation Story, of the Caldera / The Slip




• The Library at the Caldera




• Central Island




• Corvus is connected to the complicated notion of “East” as one half of the World Line, and thus with its related symbols

The general landscape of the Trifold Peaks, as they fall under the North and thus under Corvus’ domain. This also includes specific ranger regions:
+ the Verthandi Outposts, specifically the ranger station and post office at Messner Point
+ The Northwest Wilderness and the Slopes of Urd, and specifically the ranger station at Norna Station
+ The Great Northern Forest and the Crags of Skuld, and specifically the ranger station at Rhysling Point
