King’s Ravens
At a glance
An unusually large breed or order of ravens once reported around Castle Avernus and not seen for years.
Recorded claims
- 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.
Possible connections
- Vidic and other crow- or raven-shaped observers who followed the party.
- The ravens encountered at Richten House.
- The invitation delivered from Castle Avernus.
These connections remain theories rather than confirmed facts.
