A legendary figure originating in pre-Shattering mythology, The Raven King was said to be the Keeper of all magic and Rivenna's right hand who walks amongst men. Though his divine connections and mythological status have long been accepted by most who have even heard his tale, there exist a small group of magical scholars scattered across the realms that insist that The Raven King is not only real but that he is far more than a simple divine scion. Rumors have long persisted of the strange, black-feathered dreams that are said to visit great scholars of magic upon the eve of the performance of powerful arcane feats and it is a common belief amongst more superstitious wizards that Ravens are the messengers of his power.
