Talons of the Raven

Younger and more hale and healthy Ravenites are utilized by the The Church of the Raven as the Raven Queen's wings, spreading her tenets and faith wherever they go. But just as a raven's wings lend it swift flight, its talons and beak are never far, ready to tear at the flesh of those who would seek to harm it or its brethren.

So, too, go the Talons of the Raven, rooting out practitioners of necromancy or others who would seek to twist the strand of fate to their whim. The Talons do not have an internal hierarchy themselves, instead deferring to the Raven Priests for instruction and guidance in their pursuits. The Talons of the Raven also interact with the public, though it is in more of an investigative sense. In the pursuit of their goal of ferreting out the Raven Queen's enemies, they will often seek out information from the local populace. A Talon investigating reports of the undead in the area, for example, might make inquiries with the locals to find out more information.
