If you press your ear close to this egg, the small peeps inside almost sound like distant voices.
Kasandar tityrids are rare, beautiful birds found only within the vicinity of Chachen Ixa in Tetzcotal. Despite their small range, these birds are known of as far as Synara, and revered by many. They possess an eerie power that even the magi do not fully understand, the power of prophecy. While the ability to see into the future is documented in other creatures like the Raza lemurs, the visions of kasandar tityrids are unique in that the tityrids seem to have some say in what happens. They can not only see the future, but for small events, they can also change it. Their sway seems to be fairly limited -- they can cause a person or creature to turn right when they would have gone left, or act when they would otherwise have remained inert, as long as both options are valid for the being in question. They can share their visions with humans by mimicking human speech to relay prophetic riddles, and those who choose human companions have been known to occasionally make improvements to their human's life. Getting one as a companion is difficult enough, and even if the bird will use its powers for you, most people prefer not to have them around. Their prophecies are vague and difficult to understand at the best of times, and even when they can be understood, the birds will often lie for fun, or change the future so that their previous prophecies go unfulfilled. A wise person knows to always be wary of fortunes, especially when they come from a kasandar tityrid.
