The Great Eagle

The Chorda were peaceful avian people living off of the fields that offered plenty. Many travelers would travel through their lands expecting safe passage. Until one day, their leader, the Great Eagle, retrieved a golden stone. The stone had miraculous powers that could heal others including the dreaded soul rot. The Great Eagle saw the potential of the stone and decided to guard it. He tasked the other Chorda to protect it at all costs. The once glorious land soon became a field of despair as souls attempted to take the stone for themselves but were met by the power of he Chorda who became more vicious in their nature.
