Divine Domains
The domains of the Raven Queen are fate, winter, and death.
As the spinner of fate and patron of death, she marks the end of each mortal life, often called upon to guide and guard the departed from the curse of undeath. Though she is the patron of death, she is seen as a sorrowful figure for the deceased and soon-to-be, as she comes to watch over them for their final moments ensuring they are not alone. As many fear the end of life, she beacons her followers and all that is near it to be unafraid, for it is just another part of the cycle that is life.
As she watches over the dead and dying, she is ever vigilant for traces of the undead for they break the cycle and try to control their fates when it is not theirs to control anymore. She demands that her followers join her in the never-ending crusade to thwart the undead and ensure the natural order of life continues on.
