It won't take you long to see the ducks.

I haven't read the Eastern section, but I don't think there's anything on sorns. There is however much on keets (and Keetela).

Yeah, looks like p. 40 is your bet. "One tribe of keet is said to have selfishly refused to give up their powers of flight, and to have in fact sided with Chaos and the Black Moon. These are the Sorns -- the pterodactyl keets. They are the most common chaos species..." There's more on sorns and other keets.

I think you could easily fit a keet community in Caladraland.

Ducks make up about 1% of the population of Sartar, and there are known to be 30,000 Ducks in Manaria who are not in Sartar. Some of these could be other types of keets (though Anaxial's Roster suggests that all of the Manirian keets are Ducks).

If any sorn made it to Caladraland, I'm sure it would quickly subvert the secret society into worshipping it.
