Lady of the Ravens

Post by Nalini »

Helllo all,
I am looking for any background on the Lady of the Ravens. She is found on the Isle of Ravens, in the Nocturnal Sea. I am trying to put a quest together for my group, but i havent found much on her background, and how/why she came to be in the Domain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Kargatane "The Book of Sacrifices" has a Lady of the Ravens article (p. 113-117)...IMO one of the better articles :)

She's basically an evil, spoiled rich girl whose only friends were ravens and was able to be able to speak with ravens but now can't,as she can't remember her name eithor, so she is trying to find out her name so she can speak with her ravens again...and she can turn others into ravens

There's also an expanded version of that Book of Sacrifices article in Quoth the Raven 13, available from the Library on this site.

There's nothing canon about her. She's based on the legends of Circe from Greek mythology, particularly the Odyssey. The only non-canon sources I can think of that haven't already been mentioned is Felauragoth, also in the Book of Sacrifices. As a disclaimer, I wrote that, but it does have a slightly different reading of her.

Presumably she'll be mentioned in the Nocturnal Sea gazetter that's coming out...

...someday. Maybe.
