In the forests outside the main cities there are creatures other than humankind who claim the title of 'Top of the Food Chain'. Those creatures are by and large members of The Kestral Society.
Monsters. That's the easiest classification for who or what comprises the bulk of KS, but the leaders of KS, referred to as 'The Ring', represent the Society's largest interests.
Marna is the oldest of The Ring. Her ragged wings represent the stories of a thousand battles she shouldn't be alive to tell. Her deep set eyes have just the faintest glint of life in them, her raspy breath and sagging skin could be equal results of her age or the disease inside her that she constantly fights against. Even with all this against her, she's got a voice that commands. And when she raises it, thousands have no choice but to bow to her will.
Liravayne acts as The Ring's spymaster. Their eyes never stop watching, never stop reporting, and they can get into everything the humans try to keep secret. Liravayne is in a constant state of sorrow as they mourn for each and every drone. Even so, they crawl into the human settlements almost every night to murder one human as retribution for their careless steps that crush Liravayne's eyes.
