King’s Ravens

At a glance

An unusually large breed or order of ravens once reported around Castle Avernus and not seen for years.

Old histories describe great numbers of ravens around Castle Avernus.
A distinct large variety was called the King’s Ravens.
One obscure note described the ravens as always watching and somehow “part of Azalin.”
The source did not clearly identify them as wereravens.
Vidic explicitly distinguished the King’s Ravens from his own organization, the Keepers of the Feather.
Vidic’s account reinforced their connection to Azalin but did not explain their nature or allegiance in detail.
The Keepers’ enchanted feathers cannot command them.
Erasmus’s vision placed them among the powers controlling part of fractured Darkon after Azalin’s disappearance.
Near Castle Avernus, one watching raven vanished and three appeared in its place. They ignored Rage’s Corvid greeting, leading the party to suspect King’s Ravens.
A raven speaking for Ebb confirmed that the shadow dragon now controls the King’s Ravens in Azalin’s absence.
The raven urged the party to escape collapsing Darkon through knowledge held by the Dark Delvers.

Unidentified crow- or raven-shaped observers who followed the party before Vidic explained the distinction between the two orders.
The ravens encountered at Richten House.
The invitation delivered from Castle Avernus.

These connections remain theories rather than confirmed facts.

The company now serves another raven order. Distinguishing the Keepers’ allies from Ebb’s watchers may prove essential in Barovia and beyond.
