The Raven Queen, the Matron of Death
The Raven Queen, also commonly known as the Matron of Ravens, the Matron of Death, and the Duskmaven, is the goddess of death, fate, and winter; she's also considered the goddess of twilight, inevitability and the passage of time, presiding over the transition between life and death. Originally a mortal woman in the Age of Destruction, she ascended to godhood and destroyed the previous god of death. After her ascension, her true name has long been lost. Her devotees seek her favor to guide them in death and prevent the curse of undeath from falling on them. To an extent, The Raven Queen tolerates undead, so long as the soul has moved on and the body has been given proper rights.
When she was alive, the Raven Queen was described as a beautiful woman of raven hair.
After becoming a goddess she is described as a tall and slender woman, with flowing black hair and pale, porcelain skin. She almost always wears a blank, porcelain mask and her eyes have red irises.

Commandments
- Death is the natural end of life. Grieve the fallen, but do not pity them. Exult in the time that they were granted.
- The path of Fate is sacrosanct. Those who pridefully cast off destiny must be punished.
- Undeath is an atrocity. Death is too good a punishment for those who pervert the rightful transition of the soul.
