Harpy Roosts

**Harpy Roosts** are the traditional homes of Harpies, comprising a large collection of predominantly nests, with small-scale artisan shops, minor trading stations, gardens, public parks, and baths. Harpy Roosts have historically functioned as 'capital cities' of Harpy Flocks across Halcann, acting as administrative, military, cultural, and communal centers of a specific flock, or at times growing large enough to act as the center of political power for a larger matriarchy or queendom.

Harpy Roosts are built at high altitudes, with most being built on the tops of mountains. This serves as a form of protection from outside attack, as well as being a historic and cultural tradition due to the Harpies' natural ability to fly. Due to the sheer altitudes where most Harpy Roosts are built, it is often extremely difficult for non-harpies to travel or leave roosts without the assistance of a Harpy or other form of aerial transportation.
