The Raven Queen
The Raven Queen personifies death to most of the people of Eltharas. It is said she takes into her domain the souls or spirits of those who die in the mortal realm. Caring for them or perhaps punishing them after death. Opinions differ.
The Raven Queen is sometimes depicted as a large raven or black bird of absolute darkness, and sometimes as a nearly featureless face mask. Sometimes she is depicted as a thin, plae woman wearing a dark feathered cloak and a white mask.
Some theorise that the Raven Queen was once mortal, which is why she death is her domain. Unlike The Others above who perhaps cannot truly die.
It is not clear how well Mistress of Ravens (as she is sometimes known) relates to the other gods. However, it is understood that those who seek to subvert or interfere with the natural order of death (particularly those who deal with undead) draw her ire.
