White Raven Totem
One night, Bres’ love returned and spoke of her exile, she had been recovered by Bastien Morrow, and with her back in his arms they set their plan in motion. Late one evening Bres met with his mother over supper to discuss a means to end this struggle. There he poisoned her, and brought her body into a quick paralysis.
In the dead of night, he carried his mother up above the markets of Clarion and performed the ancient rites of Fogholt, as a means to dishonor her. Bres contorted her body to resemble a raven, her ribs were severed from her spine and her lungs spread across them like wings.
She was discovered at dawn, as the bells of mourning rang through the city. Bres declared himself the ruler now, and the Hollow Priests began to march through the city ensuring no one would stand up against him. The citizens here wish for her back, as everything has changed since he took hold.
Standing tall and foreboding at the edge of the Outer Ward, the Magda Totem is a haunting monument. Crafted from dark, twisted bone picked apart by craven birds and adorned trinkets strung up around the ribs. It casts long shadows across the surrounding area as it is the body of the previous ruler of Clarion. The air is heavy with an unsettling aura, as if the totem itself is imbued with the restless spirit of Magda Nuada. Local children dare each other to touch it, whispering tales of curses and old gods being too afraid to look down upon this land. The totem is a stark reminder of the strictures imposed by the Unna Maska.
Since Bres struck her name from the whispers of his people, the totem is referred to as the White Raven. The totem stands as a grim reminder of her influence and the city's dark past.
