a story about a man who keeps flocks of harpies (or harpy adjacent creatures) in a dome like structure over a town. They have human forms, but many of them have forgotten how to fly, or change into their true form. They also have an animal form, and some of the towns people have forsaken their human forms and stay in their bird forms to escape.
