Broken Avian Automata (artifact)

Still much sought after, Avian Automata were purportedly common sights in the houses of the fabulously wealthy, at least until the Aversarians conquered the Kartharadds and suppressed the art of automata crafting long enough to doom it entirely. Records indicate that some of these breathtakingly intricate machines were even enchanted during construction to mimic the behaviors of real birds, and the finest could even respond to simple instructions.

This particular example of the lost art can only sing and uselessly flail its one remaining wing, but it's nonetheless an impressive display item.
