Razorbills

<spits> 'There's nothin' I hates more than

those bloody Razorbills. Me Nan used to have

this little cottage up in Nordland. Lovely

place it was. Used to keep sheep an' chickens

there. Anyhow, it was all fine 'til those birds

moved in. Great big flock of 'em landed one

year about a mile off. She never noticed to

begin with just kept a better eye on her

They're just like any other bird: really thick!

All you need do is carry a broom and you'll be

safe. Y'see, they attack the highest point,

swooping down and nipping at whatever they

think is threatening their chicks which is

–

anything within a couple of miles of their

nests. So, hold the broom up high, and they'll

swoop down and hit that instead. Careful they

don't knock it out your hands now...

–

stock, makin' sure those things weren't off

with 'em. But then the bloody birds started

nestin' proper, and suddenly they went mad!

Swoopin' all over the place! Attacked me Nan

whenever she left the house. I reckon she was

soon too afraid to leave her home. When I got

up there later that autumn, all was left was an

empty cottage. I reckon they'd eaten her!

There's nothin' I hates more than those bloody

Razorbills! To M ó rr with all of 'em!' <spits>

'According to an Elven text I secured from the

libraries of Lord Baragain, the Razorbill used

to be a far more benign species. However,

during the Great War, when the Aethyric

energies of the world waxed and the Ruinous

Forces swept the land, a colony of birds in

Norsca fell into the expanding Realm of

Chaos. The effects were immediate and

permanent. Their bloodlust increased, their

taste for flesh multiplied, and they gained a

previously undemonstrated pack mentality.

Soon, the text claims, the local coasts were

cleared of competing raptors, and the species

expanded quickly. Now, there can be no

doubting the success of the Razorbill, for

there is no longer a coast in the Old World

where they do not gather.

'What is the point of a bird that is so stringy!'

'You've got to be pretty careful of yer animals

iffin you be livin' by a colony o' Razors. Just

after their chicks ha' hatch'd, they ha' a lot o'

hungry mouth ta feed, and iffin the fishin' be

lean, they'll be aefter yer livestock. They even

come aefter us iffin they be desperate enough.

Ten year back, Janz lost his youngest to 'em,

may Sigmar bless 'is poor wee soul. They just

hopped up to the crib and stole off with the

poor child while 'is wife's back was turned.

Never forgave hersel' . She said she could hear

Jutte cryin' by the cliffs. Died soon aefter, she

did. But nets do keep 'em out, as does a swift

hammer to thar head!'

– H ERMUT S CHIEMANN , P OTTER

'Listen to me! They ain't stupid, d'ya hear?!

We was playing by the cliffs, mindin' our own

business, like. It wasn't our fault one fell off

the cliff! We wasn't slingin' stones at them or

anyfin'! But they still came for us. Squawkin!

Hunneds of 'em! Killed Jaque. Pecked

Crepin's eyes right out... I never go near the

cliffs now. They'll see me coming...'

R AZORBILLS

Razorbills are voraciously carnivorous birds that gather in great coastal

colonies of several thousand. They attack any creature that comes too

close to their nests by swooping and pecking, often in flights of several

score. Normally they are solitary predators that hunt by scooping fish

from the sea, but during hard times they gather in large flocks,

combining their strength to bring down larger prey.
