A card with an illustration of a black bird and a quest idea: "A mining town in a secluded mountain valley endures a self-inflicted tragedy. Defying the local legend of blackbirds bringing dusk and dawn with their calls, a drunk miner threw a stone at a flock not long ago, scaring the birds away - and with them, the rising sun. Drowned in darkness for days, the denizens are desperate for aid in bringing the sacred flock back."
A card with an illustration of a black bird-of-paradise and a quest idea: "A typically quaint settlement changed beyond recognition as a new trend took hold. A local priest promised the townsfolk a sign from the gods, and - just as they prophesied - a pair of colorful birds made a home in the temple's altar. The birds became the de facto government, as the people place offering bowls along with notes and prayers in front of the birds, and follow the "advice" of whichever note they choose.
A card with an illustration of a bee-eater and a quest idea: "A colorful bird buzzes back and forth, clearly trying to convince you to follow it someplace. Tempted, you sentenced yourself to a dredge through dense shrubs deep into a forest. Your dedication was rewarded when the bee-eater stopped just short of a massive, gilded chest. Sounds of knocking and hushed cried for help come from beneath the bejeweled lid."
A card with an illustration of an albatross and a quest idea: "A storm ravaging the countryside persists days longer than usual this time of year. Entrusted with the task of finding out whether the cataclysm has unnatural origins, you discover a lone giant albatross crying out in the eye of the maelstrom. Endowed with the power of speech, the bird agrees to leave and take the storm with it, if you help it find its missing partner."
