The Raven

The Raven is a deity associated with corvids, children, honesty, and the payment of debts. Most stories describe them as originating in the central plains of the DSRR. 
===Common Appearance(s)===
The Raven usually appears either as an androgynous human figure in a black cloak, or as a more deific flying figure, with red wings and black feathers. 
===Mythological Connections===
Several theological scholars have claimed that the Raven is either descended from or blessed by Prometheus or Ichor. No records or reports explicitly support these claims. They are sibling to both the Rook and the Magpie. 
===Cultural Significance===
The Raven is not explicitly connected to a particular Red tribe. However, worship of the Raven is fairly common on a small scale throughout the DSRR, especially in the central plains. Worship of the Raven is also common amongst children. Common practices include the creation of small altars, upon which worshippers deposit small items that could be valuable to the Raven or other corvids, like shiny coins or needles. 
===Notable Followers===
Because of the small scale and decentralized nature of veneration of the Raven, it is suspected that many historical Red figures had some tie to this prevalent religious figure that was simply never mentioned. In the modern day, however, a number of famous figures have openly mentioned their connections to the Raven. These include Astoa Dakri, the founder of the Red National Mint.
