Bestiary

The supreme Trickster, Raven is said to have either made or saved the world on numerous occasions. His little cousin Crow is slightly more humble but no less clever. Smart, pragmatic, and unsettlingly knowledgeable, Raven and Crow have sinister connotations to some people and cultures for their habit of snacking on the dead. As a result, Raven and Crow are considered psychopomps, ferrying the spirits of the dead on to their rightful resting places… and occasionally bringing them back for revenge.
