The Kingdoms of the Elves & Dwarves

[Paka]

I dig Ravensgate a whole lot.

In my homebrew there was a Theocratic city called Ulula, run by Paladins who worshipped an Owl God. That Owl God and the Raven should have tea, talk shop.

Couldja post the info on the Raven as a diety?

Thanks, great stuff.

The Raven is the great transformer-trickster who is responsible for the creation/transformation of the world. Because of his great polymorph/shape change abilities he can appear as a fox, a jay or the moon. He will fight only as a last resort and then only as a giant raven. Although known as a great provider for manking (including the giving of fire) the raven loves to play tricks, usually for the purpose of obtaining food to satisfy his ravenous appitite.

He is most likely to intervene on the behalf of his worshipers when they are in need of necessities. The most successful way to appeal to him is by offerings of food.

Gotcha. I'm familiar with the Raven from Native AMerican lore. I wasn't aware that it was him. He seemed so out of context but now that I think of it, it makes sense.

Thanks for posting the stats.

Keep posting stuff about this world. It is nifty.

Keep posting stuff about this world.

I'm actually hoping for more posts about this world too, but not from me. I'll be using this world for an upcoming campaign, and have invited a number of potential players to start posting their ideas to this thread.

The campiagn is beginning to come together, although we won't actually start playing until the summer. So far for tentative characters we have:

Sir Osis of Liver: Human or half-elf ranger/bard.
SteveJung: Elf fighter/cleric or bard/cleric, probably from Brondani.
Kriskrafts: Probably a Ravensgate raven & its Wizard familiar.

I expect to be the primary DM, but if one of the players decides to also DM* a segment with this setting I will play a younger, lower-level version of the mostly-human fighter Donald Brondani Smith, described in post #21.


*Hint, Hint (and as stated in the above post, please feel free to add to this campaign setting thread)

Finally getting back to this campaign after a half-year break so....bump!

 

[Silver Moon]

I'll be using this soon (specifically the Ravengsate School) so am Bumping for quick reference.

I'll be using this setting for my next module so am bumping the thread for quick reference.

Shouldn't this be moved to the storyhour section or someplace else where bumping isn't necessary (soo often)?
