The Crow Brethren was a group of vermin crows led by Krakulat. They lived in a large pine grove. After some of Swartt's Horde killed Krakulat's mother, he directed attacks on them in a rage at his mother's death. After Swartt Sixclaw had the pine grove burned down, the attacks continued in the open space as the horde marched. Many of the Crow Brethren were killed by Swartt's tactics during a night attack, when they were impaled on spears. The rest were finished off by the Gorge Foxes led by Shang Damsontongue.
