Marquises

A hoarse black crane teaches rhetoric; a phoenix with a child’s voice becomes an accomplished poet; a winged wolf is a formidable fighter. Naberius, Phenex and Marchosias are three of the Goetia’s fifteen marquises. Others turn to battles, hidden treasure, love or the behaviour of birds. Decarabia supplies an especially curious display: bird likenesses that fly, sing and drink like living creatures.
