description: 'A nosoi resembles a whippoorwill, sparrow, or other small bird wearing
  a heavy leather plague doctor''s mask. They are the clerks, messengers, and scribes
  of the Boneyard, witnessing judgments, directing souls, and generally performing
  the administrative grunt work that keeps the Boneyard functioning. Most nosois are
  particularly chatty and eager to discuss how important they consider their individual
  assignments to be.
