Ravenspire experienced a devastating flood caused by the sudden rise of the river that borders the city. Hundreds of homes were destroyed, and the city’s lower quarters were submerged. Reconstruction efforts took nearly a decade, during which the Riverguard was formed, a group tasked with monitoring water levels and preventing future flooding. This event also led to the creation of Ravenspire's renowned canal system, which channels the river through and around the city.
