"These outcasts are not the only cursed arakkoa holding their ground in Arak. A curious cult has formed in worship of Ka'alu, my consort and the keeper of my brood. They are considered to be quite... odd. Regardless, the outcasts will need their help."

— Anzu

The Ravenspeakers, calling themselves the Flock, are an excentric cult of cursed arakkoa that worship Ka'alu the Raven Mother, the consort of Anzu. They are based out of the Nest of the Ravenspeakers in the Spires of Arak and are led by High Ravenspeaker Krikka. They are considered to not be entirely sane, but are nonetheless allies of the Arakkoa Outcasts.

After fighting off the Bloodmane tribe of saberon, the Ravenspeakers successfully summon Ka'alu, who then aids the Outcasts in the attack on Windswept Terrace.
