Matron of Ravens

Credit: Critical Role

Master of the skein of fate, and the mistress of winter. The Raven Queen is the Goddess of Death. Her gaze follows and marks the end of each mortal life, watching over the transition between life and death- and ensuring that the natural transition is undefiled, Mourners at funerals across the land invoke her blessing in hopes she will protect the deceased from the curse of undeath.
She is believed once to have been mortal and invoked now lost magical rites to ascend to Godhood.
Depiction: There are few visual depictions of The Raven Queen; many temples simply use a raven as a symbol of her blessing. Rare images, however, portray the Raven Queen herself as a tall, pale woman wrapped in dangling black linens,her onyx-black hair straight and never-ending her face obscured by a white porcelain mask.
Commandments of The Matron of Ravens

1. Death is the natural end of life. Grieve the fallen, but do not pity them. Exult in the time that they were granted.
2. The path of Fate is sacrosanct. Those who pridefully cast off destiny must be punished.
3. Undeath is an atrocity. Death is too good a punishment for those who pervert the rightful transition of the soul.
