Long ago, in a history now shrouded in the annals of time, the
Ravens were created by the God of War, [[God of War]]. Indeed, legend
says it is the second oldest clan to be created, started right
after the victory over Elder Dragon God.

The early days of the clan were spectacular with people for
centuries it was remembering the golden dawn of the Old Ravens.
Perhaps this old glory was because [[God of War]] was assisted by so many
able immortals and wise and just leaders. The Lady Godiva stood
by his right hand as his immortal hero for centuries. The
Legendary [[Chiasmus]], the Bard was without doubt the strongest
mortal of his day- although his rivalary with [[Dusk]] of [[:Category:Discordance|Discordance]]
was much talked about. Aurora and Borealis, the twins and Garne,
the [[:Category:Illithid|Illithid]] likewise rose to be leaders. However, [[Chiasmus]]'
departure left a void, that was to be filled by [[Rukhsanaa]], the
Queen of the Trolls, who rebuilt the clan in [[God of War]]'s name into
one where the young were welcomed.

Other powerful leaders followed. [[Killian]] rose to take the place
of mortal leader, later to reach the same kind of preeminence
that Chiasmus once held in the realms. But alas, the old glory
did not last. At the time of [[Aerick]]'s emergence from the Astral
Plane, [[God of War]] had become a much weaker power; only occasionly
showing his countenance unto the mortal population.

[[Aerick]] toiled hard under the rulership of [[God of War]], not knowing
what deeds he performed could be overturned with a whim. He
brought new blood into the Clan and many were those who passed
through the halls when Aerick did become the Storm's Call. Then
a day came that changed everything.

Learning of deeds performed by the Storm Lord from his spies
within the Astral Plane, [[Aerick]] did launch a surprise attack
upon the Clan [[:Category:Maelstrom|Maelstrom]]. [[Streiter]], God of Chaos, Lord of the
Storm did discover [[Aerick]] within his Temple.

[[Streiter]] did many things to [[Aerick]] over several hours of...
interrogation. It was at this time that [[Streiter]] and [[Aerick]]
did come to an understanding and the [[:Category:Maelstrom|Maelstrom]] did switch its
energies into that of [[Aerick]]. [[Aerick]] became Lord of [[:Category:Maelstrom|Maelstrom]].

[[Aerick]] performed adequately within the service of Chaos Storm.
Being the type of person that he is, he let is underlings do
all the work. It was their Clan afterall and he only did the
duties that were required of him.

[[:Category:The Ravens|The Ravens]] went about their lives in [[Aerick]]'s absence. And
with time, Lord [[God of War]] left the realms, making way for [[Belidus]] as
its Lord. He ruled wisely, though firmly. And was in turn ably
assisted. Lord [[Sherrivus]] showed great promise as its Hero,
before departing to [[:Category:Circle of Fire|The Circle]]. The Lady [[Undine]] took the clan
under her wing as mortal Leader. Indeed she came to be with
time the longest serving officer any clan has ever seen.

There became a time that a strange thing happened to the Gods.
One day they woke to be Gods of other clans and became strange
and beligerent. Most of these changes were to the good, some to
the bad. Yet some things did not change. Mortals went about
their business as they always did, not caring who they worshiped
as long as they got what they wanted.

It was at this time that the being known as [[Biavaschi]]'s was
leader of the Ravens, as [[Belidus]] departed to lead [[:Category:Circle of Fire|The Circle of Fire]]. Using the Scales of Justice created by [[Sherrivus]]
through some mysterious means, [[Aerick]] did force himself into
the Lodge of the Ravens in a futile attempt to create havok
within the Lodge. During the encounter between [[Biavaschi]] and
[[Aerick]], the Scales released so much energies that it destroyed
itself, as well as [[Biavaschi]], in a horrific blast. When he
came to, [[Aerick]] discovered the body of what appeared to be a
young woman before him with the Scales shattered into its
component parts. Using his various powers, [[Aerick]] attempted to
recreate the Scales, yet they remained shattered.

[[Aerick]] searched through his memory as it appeared there were
blank spots concerning the recent past. The last thing that
[[Aerick]] could remember before awaking was [[Streiter]], the
Stormbringer, placing his hand upon his own head. A single
mark upon his forehead was the only remembrance of that meeting.
All other thoughts and memories were erased with the destruction
of the Scales. Perhaps it used up its powers in attempting to
restore [[Aerick]] to what he once was.

New power did flow into [[Aerick]] with the shattering of the Scales.
It enabled him to become Judge of the Ravens. Using his powers,
he did summon forth a beast to serve him. The beast took up his
task quickly and easily as it went forth and hired several
hundred workers to create a new hall in [[Aerick]]'s name. Several
months went by as the Gnomish workers built a new hall to house the
Ravens.

[[Aerick]] did seek to bring order and justice to the realms. The
Clan rose in might and others came to aid him in his mission.
Lords [[Uzell]] and [[Xirus]] came to be his Heroes, only to depart. From
a clan of Law and Order, it once again became a clan of mystery
and mystical knowledge. And the clan prevailed as it always did,
its mortal leaders and the spirit of camaradrie among its members
as always remaining its defining trait.
