The Raven Queen
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Epithets: The Final Breath
Mother of Crows
The Masked God
Mistress of the Red Strings
Tenets: Death is the natural end of life, grieve the fallen, but do not pity them. Exult in the time that they were given.
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.
Domains: Death, Grave, Twilight
Few mortal creatures view death as something cheerful or welcome. Despite this, virtually every person understands the inevitability of death, and its crucial part of the life cycle. As a result, the typical response to the Goddess of Death is a curious blend of fear, suspicion, reluctance, and acceptance. In the end, none are able to escape her embrace.
Servants of The Final Breath wage a constant struggle to educate people about the goddess. They proclaim their Queen is a friend to mortals. She brings a cessation of pain and suffering, grants peace to those ravaged by age and illness, and makes room for the birth of new souls. She is an extension of nature, a part of the cycle of life and death. In this way, she is no more evil than a bolt of lightning or a rainstorm. She claims the souls of the dead because that is her role and duty, not because it brings her any pleasure or glee. Her servants wear masks of impartiality when conducting her rites to reflect that they must not be sad at a passing because there is no way to avoid it.
