Sapient Corvids

Sapient Corvids, officially known as Corvus Sapien is a species of corvids which have recently evolved on Kanashi. They are a group of species of Corvus (Crows, Ravens, Rooks) who have evolved Human-Level intelligance and shown proficient tool use. Due to adapting abandoned human equipment and tools scattered across Kanashi's wastelands they have begun rapidly accelerating in technological progress.
Sapient Corvids do not have one single species of corvus they are descended from, but are instead descended from multiple different species which all covergently evolved into Corvus Sapiens, i.e gained human-level intelligence. Their technology has advanced to their very own Industrial Revolution.
Even though Sapient Corvids are relatively similar to normal Corvus species by appearance, They often are somewhat larger than their less intelligent counterparts, being 71 centimeters tall unlike their shorter relatives. They also have greater range of motion with their limbs.
=== Culture ===
Sapient Corvid culture is very "aristocratic" with them favouring industrial revolution era fancy attire as their primary way of expression, such as top hats, suits and bowties.
They also venerate swords as a object of great personal glory and significance. While usually brandishing a sabre in combat, their favourite weapon with the most cultural significance is The Rapier, which is often a sign of honour and societal status. They are often used in rituals or ceremonies.
Sapient Corvids often feature a spiritual side, venerating dark magic and witchcraft as a part of their culture and practices. 
=== Civilisation ===
Sapient Corvids began forming Covens/Nations across Europe, Siberia and North-America in the mid 200s. They over time began outcompeting various human clans in some areas, while in some areas humans have managed to defeat their expansion and forced them to relocate. 
Sapient Corvids often organize their communities into groups they name "Covens", and have managed to generally control much of Eastern France, Southern Germany and Western Czechia as the largest coven known as Corvus Khristus. Many others exist though, however have not risen to as much power.
