Ever After High First Chapter Raven Queen Doll (Multi-Colour)

Product Information

Gods aren’t very fun to fight in D&D 5e since, well, they’re gods. It won’t end well for your party. The Raven Queen first appeared in D&D in 4th edition as a minor goddess of death, winter, and fate.

However, when the dust cleared, the surviving Shadar-Kai found something else where their queen once stood: her ruined body and mind reborn as the Raven Queen. While she was having a good old sulk, the residual magic from the corrupted ritual stripped away the last vestiges of her physical form, transforming her into a being composed entirely of “symbols, images, and perceptions.” Now, the Shadowfell is pretty unreservedly terrible, so this had the effect of instantly killing her and annihilating her body.However you decide to work the Raven Queen into your campaign, just remember to play up how enigmatic and bleak she should feel. As she felt herself slipping away into nothingness, the queen drew together all the dead memories and discarded souls from the Shadowfell, weaving them into a cloak around her. As a child, Raven had a puppy named Prince. During Legacy Year, Raven acquires a dragon named Nevermore.

Raven Queen, daughter of the Evil Queen, decides to flip tradition on its crown and chose her own destiny!Because the elf queen was in a state of quasi-godhood, her anger at the evil (well, selfish and incurably stupid, at least) wizards twisted the ritual, catapulting the queen, her physical kingdom, the Shadar-Kai, and the wizards into the Shadowfell instead.

Then, the Raven Queen could send you off to do just about anything, from recovering lost artifacts and memories to hunting down the thirteen Nagpa. The echoes of raw emotion within these fragments cause ghosts – pale echoes and memories – to appear from time to time, wandering the vast stone halls, playing out especially painful or otherwise powerfully emotional moments from their lives. Serving the Raven Queen: Using the Goddess of Death as a Deity or a Patron In those days, she was rumored to be a powerful human sorceress and necromancer who swore revenge against the god of death, eventually usurping him and – after a tangled web of alliances, betrayals, and power grabs went wrong – ending up exiled in the Shadowfell, reinvented as the Raven Queen. The Raven Queen’s true name remains unknown (a piece of information the demon god of death, Orcus, would dearly love to get his hands on).As a dungeon master, the Raven Queen is exactly the sort of entity that always finds a home in my games – enigmatic, steeped in gothic horror aesthetic, and pee-your-pants-scary-powerful.

Above all else, the Raven Queen is mysterious. She is a dark secret, her name whispered in furtive tones throughout halls of forbidden learning. Cryptic, indefinable, and unquestionably a being of great power, the Raven Queen has in recent years become one of the most iconic deities in all of D&D 5e. Clerics of the Domain of Death or the Grave Domain would make great candidates for disciples of the Raven Queen – although her obsession with collecting memories might also make her a potential deity for a Knowledge Domain cleric as well (albeit, a pretty creepy one). Note: this doll has been referred to as several different names. "First Chapter," [2] "Core Royals & Rebels: Wave 1," [3] or "Signature." [4] She fell deeper and deeper into a divine madness as she contemplated the loss of her kingdom and the failure of her plan.Perhaps The Cult of the Raven is trying to break the Raven Queen out of the Shadowfell – something with dire consequences for all of elvenkind if they succeed. Over the subsequent centuries, these identities and memories have fused into the being known as the Raven Queen. Not evil, but a manifestation of entropy, sorrow, decay, and the long, cold sleep when the lights go out. The History of the Raven Queen
