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

Product Information

However you decide to work the Raven Queen into your campaign, just remember to play up how enigmatic and bleak she should feel. Note: this doll has been referred to as several different names. "First Chapter," [2] "Core Royals & Rebels: Wave 1," [3] or "Signature." [4] Raven Queen, daughter of the Evil Queen, decides to flip tradition on its crown and chose her own destiny!

Mortals who find themselves in the presence of the Raven Queen often behold their surroundings as though from an important or traumatic memory, as the dark goddess claws her way into their subconscious to extract anything she sees as interesting. 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.” All knowledge of her and whom she used to be was wiped from the memories of mortals by Correllon and Lolth – who collectively agreed that the one thing they hated more than each other was some uppity mortal making a play for the throne.

Others believe the powerful emotions people experience while they go mad confronting their darkest, innermost demons actually sustain the Raven Queen, allowing her to maintain her form and even grow in power. As a child, Raven had a puppy named Prince. During Legacy Year, Raven acquires a dragon named Nevermore. 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. The Raven Queen first appeared in D&D in 4th edition as a minor goddess of death, winter, and fate.

Above all else, the Raven Queen is mysterious. She is a dark secret, her name whispered in furtive tones throughout halls of forbidden learning.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

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. Contrary to popular belief at Ever After High, Raven Queen is not evil or not even mean. She is kind and considerate with a sarcastic side born from frustration over her unjust reputation. When people try to socialize with her, she is skeptic about their intentions, but not so much that it limits her ability to make new friends. 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). Gods aren’t very fun to fight in D&D 5e since, well, they’re gods. It won’t end well for your party.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). Mid-ritual, at the very gates of Arvandor itself, the elven queen realized what was going on and – as all new gods should get used to doing – smote the everliving crap out of the wizards. 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.

She fell deeper and deeper into a divine madness as she contemplated the loss of her kingdom and the failure of her plan.Her “body” is made up of a twisting jumble of stolen memories and darkness, and the elven deities Correllon and Lolth both wiped all memories of her from existence as punishment for getting in the way of their own little war for the souls of elvenkind. Over the subsequent centuries, these identities and memories have fused into the being known as the Raven Queen. Early July, 2013: Raven Queen's first doll is released as part of the ' Signature - Rebels' series. The Raven Queen is obsessed with memories, essences, and souls – whether they are from long-dead gods, mighty mortal adventurers, or great beasts like dragons.
