HISTORY
In the Beginning
They say there had always been RAVEN, for he is the darkness that compels us to seek the light.
As Great Raven, Dotson' Sa, or Nankilstlas, the irrepressible greed is there, the sarcastic and laconic nature, the almost audible heavy sigh that starts off every conversation; in the beginning RAVEN was all this and more.
Then came the light, the stars and the fury of life and lust.
RAVEN was shattered.
The seven shards that remained grew like the roots of a tree, each with a face of a god, each with its own power and domain - yet all seven tied to the same cataclysm. Each shard wrought mankind great evil: the plagues, the floods, the wars, the insatiable quest for power, the bestial allures of greed and conquest.
The great heroes of our past captured each shard: the Paladins and Knights, the Viking warrior, the mighty Samurai, the great warriors of the Cheyenne and Mohawk and the great Sun-Priests of the Inca and Aztecs. Each of these captured a piece of the RAVEN and cast the remains into Tarterus, the infernal prison of the damned.
The Cult
However, those who had benefitted most from the shards of RAVEN still craved for their power and gods to return.
They plotted and schemed, and at times they were able to free some of the spirits of RAVEN. Each time, they were released however, some heroic effort from mankind thwarted them. Still, the cult grew, in secret, meeting in places only those with wicked hearts would seek and the cult schemed again.
It was decided that each previous incantation had only brought one or some of the seven shards back to Earth. This time, all seven would return together. This time, their power would be too great. The dreams of mankind and their wretched capacity to suffer for love and family would finally be defeated and the Cult of RAVEN would rule Earth and return it to the darkness from which it came.
All seven would be summoned, all seven would unite and form the RAVEN once more. They would need to capture a powerful spirit to do this, a spirit the had defied RAVEN before; and the sacrifice of that spirit would bring all seven gods to Earth at the same time.
Only then would darkness return, only then would the light be extinguished...forever.
