Vitri

Vitri are found near frozen ponds and lakes in the Frozen North. They are known for their magical ability to turn ice into a glass-like substance. 

Their "glass" is used by grifix for many things, as it behaves exactly like normal glass when melted. 

The birds usually make "glass" for their nests. they break ice into small pieces which they then turn into glass using their head feathers and build into a nest for their eggs. If they were to make their nests from regular ice, they would melt under the mother and the wet babies could freeze to death, so that is probably the cause of their strange magical ability. Their eggs and chicks look like they're made of glass, and esentially pointless to try and consume, for they simply shatter and can't be eaten.

The creatures are scared very easily spooked and if they get spooked while close to their ice, they will flee and the ice they had turned to glass will melt. 

The adult birds have feathers that sparkle like glass crystals and reflect light beautifully. Grifix value such feathers very much, but they are very hard to obtain.
