Korvs are sapient avian creatures, most of them looking much like greatly oversized crows (about four feet tall at normal stance) with claw-like hands sprouting from their wings. (There are, however, variations, such as Korvs who more closely resemble Jays or other corvites.) They are very lightly structured, not particularly strong (or durable), capable of delicate manipulation either with their wing-claws or feet -- though the former are not of much use while in flight.

Korvs do not have their own "race language", adopting either the tongue of the country they live in, or else that of the Vartans, since "vartanspeak" has become a fair standard among the "beaked" races, being designed for such speech.

Korvs are found in various regions, but are most concentrated in the Nordikan countries of Chronotopia and Sylvania, having fair influence in the affairs of both nations. Korvs from each country, however, bear little racial loyalty, as most of the multi-special Nordikan nations gain their identity more on nationality than species.
