| 00:03:01 | Magpie | "...you see a flight of magpies, black wings, white breasts, take to the sky, flying over the stream as the mist rises on this gray day." |
| 00:18:30 | Falcon | "He looks out and says, 'I can still hear the falcon's cry!'" |
| 00:28:33 | - | "A neighborhood on the eastern edge of the city of Dol-Makjar, The Rookery, so named for its many perches and aviaries..." |
| 00:29:12 | Magpie | "The aviaries send magpies flying hither and yon throughout this place..." |
| 00:34:50 | - | "'I wish Alogar was here. I sent those birds to him, but he didn't...'" |
| 00:59:56 | Magpie | "You look out, you see some magpies, the eponymous bird of The Rookery." |
| 01:00:08 | Owl | "But you see some off in the distance, you see a couple of owls headed off in the direction of the western edge of the city." |
| 01:00:17 | Dove | "A few smaller doves here and there." |
| 01:00:21 | Rock dove | "There's kind of an off-white, increasingly gray rock dove that's native to the city, but that no one tends to really keep. Those tend to just be living here of their own volition." |
| 01:00:41 | Falcon | "And off in the distance you see peeling high overhead on that 19, a falcon just kiting on a thermal. No flapping, just rising slowly and steadily up above." |
| 01:24:03 | Magpie | "A magpie starts attacking the driver [...] You hurl this scimitar and just pin this magpie to the side of a neighboring building." |
| 02:26:43 | Falcon | "There's something on the wind. A falcon, soaring." |
| 02:50:51 | Crow | "The dead bodies, three of them got dragged out of here. In being dragged out, you find some crow feathers [...] Your mind immediately goes to the Crow Keepers, which you know is one of the oldest thieves' guilds in Dol-Makjar." |
| 02:53:22 | Crow | "[The Stone of Nightsong is] a fucking black stone with crow—crows." |
| 02:55:53 | Nightingale | "As you draw it, it's a spherical stone that is a sort of perpendicular embrace of wings of some kind-- You know, it could have been a crow, but also I think you'd heard Thjazi refer to it as a nightingale--that looks like it's embracing itself in its wings to create a sphere and it's a carved stone." |
| 04:06:29 | Magpie | "The magpies aren't cawing. Something ancient moves upon the face of this city." |
| 04:24:38 | Nightingale | "The Stone of Nightsong you believe was created after the original guardian spirit, that immortal nightingale, a celestial that took the wings of a nightingale, sort of like a night angel." |
