Personality Characteristics
Motivation
The whole existence of the Raven Queen is focused on collecting memories and strong emotions, typically associated with loss and tragedy. To that end, she dispatches shadar-kai to the far confines of the multiverse to wait for such an event to unfold, as scouted by her ravens. Then they collect mementos, such as trinkets, memories from the living and sometimes the souls of the dead, and bring them back to her.
The Raven Queen also claims domain of the souls of all shadar-kai, which always return to her after their deaths.
She is said to have forged the first weapons infused with shadow magic. These sentient blades, such as the Blackrazor, were found in many locations throughout the multiverse and are capable of binding with their wielders. For that reason, the Raven Queen is a popular hexblade patron among warlocks.
