Ravna van Roeyen

The Countess of Dibril Valley, often called "the demon Ravna" by her subjects. She rules from Castle Roeyen, overlooking the Village of Brashov.

Background

According to Ismark Kolyanovich, Ravna came to his home in Brashov to apologize to his father, Boyar Kolyan Indirovich, for his harsh treatment by her servant, Rahadin. While visiting, Ravna became interested in Ismark's sister, Ireena Kolyana and returned to visit several times, ostensibly to see to the girl's health. Kolyan ultimately refused to let her return, prompting Ravna to leave in anger.

Developments

The party encounters Ravna outside St. Andral's Church, while trying to return the bones of St. Andral to their tomb. Ravna tries to lure Ireena out, but the party locks her in the church. Ravna departs, leaving only an invitation to the party to meet with her at Castle Roeyen. Afteward, the party learns more about Ravna's history and determines that she is the same person as Ravna Batrova, and must be several centuries old. The party later encounters Ravna at Yester Hill prior to the ritual summoning of a tree blight by the Terg druids. The party then encounters Ravna at Khazan's Tower after killing Rahadin. Ravna destroys the tower in her rage, though the party is protected by the force cage surrounding the elevator. However, Loken cannot fit and is crushed to death in the collapse, only to be raised from the dead by Ezmerelda d’Avenir.
