Ninja is the expression to be used here, not some word I don't understand but must clearly be an insult! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Mhhh, Pasta.I am not sure about the time scales, but the Raven Queen can't be _that_ recent either. "Ancient Mist of Times" though seems more like the war against the Primordials, and I am not sure the Raven Queen was there already.Corellon might be a good choice.I noticed that the Raven Queen has a lot of potenital for conflicts with other "parties". The adventure books for D&D 4 so far focus on Orcus attempt to usurp the Raven Queen, but Vecna is also one of her enemies. And apparently, there are also some former Nerull priests that want to revive him. Bahamut has Tiamat as "natural" enemy, Correlon has Lolth. If they want to highlight established divine conflicts, Correlon is a good choice, but if they want to introduce new ones, more on Erathis or Melora might be more interesting. Yes, that is my biggest issue. I find it hard to "justify" that and consider it unaligned. But maybe here is an approach: To make it really evil and not merely unaligned she would have to take joy taking these souls, torture them and use them for more nefarious purposes. Nerull probably did. But she just sees it has her right as the goddess of death that was taken away from her. She sees it as a way to gain power or influence. She might kill souls, but killing souls is the godly equivalent of killing people. She grants utter oblivion, but doesn't inflict suffering. It means the end to all pain or regret the soul of a dead might still feel.Or maybe the difference is simply - yeah, she might want to do it, but she doesn't. You only become evil if you actually act evil, and she simply does not.</blockquote>
