The Raven Queen, the Matron of Death, an ancient goddess of death. Old and mysterious, as her true name has been lost. Her patrons seek her favour to guide them in death and prevent the curse of undeath from falling on them.
Due to her hatred of undeath, she and the Demon Lord of the Undead Orcus are fierce enemies.

Temples and Shrines
Her temples are large structures, with great looming doors of dark glass. It is made of black, solid and opaque materials - views from their windows are warped and translucent.
