Rabenstich comes from a agrarian village in Nova Vaasa. The druidess Lyris Moonshadow watched over the small village in which he stood as a scarecrow and protecting the villagers' small fields. But one day the druidess set off for Barovia and never came back.

The previously so friendly tree spirit Durthu grew more and more corrupted and fell into the hands of dark forces, it's rotting roots tainting the surrounding lands. Cattle and even wildlife became afflicted by a severe and deadly plague and soon the vegetation also began attacking the inhabitants. More and more of them fled and the few who remained were also corrupted.

One night, Rabenstich also came to life. He doesn't know exactly what woke him up, but in his mind he formed a rough knowledge of the surrounding lands and the history of his village. One thought appeared brightly in his mind: ‘Find Lyris Moonshadow!’. But whether he was on his way to save her or to punish her for leaving the village, he does not yet know.
