Curse of the Raven Queen

**The Curse of the Raven Queen** was an ongoing quest given to Jaela, and later the rest of the Ätlän-tã Fælcons, by the Raven Queen, the goddess of death, with the endgame of destroying a powerful and evil lich, Sinu the Red. After some time, the Raven Queen became impatient and decided to curse Jaela. She gave to her a dagger, with a black blade and black hilt, with a pommel in the shape of a raven's head. It's eyes would glow red once per day while Sinu still lived, which signaled to Jaela that she was to take a life, and who was worthy to be killed by her. The rules stated that if she did not kill someone each day, someone close to her would die, and if she were to reveal the curse or her mission to anyone, that person would be placed at the top of the list.

Introduced Episode 182 - Another Lake, Another Caravan, and seems to not be too strict on the part of Michael. After dealing with a lot of other problems, Jaela, in Episode 232 - A Slight Gravitational Problem, decided to focus on the problem at hand, literally, and left her girlfriend Aludra Wyrmsbane behind in Deephome to seek out and destroy Sinu the Red once and for all. She and her friends Toby Treacletart, and Steve Meloncamp enlisted the help of two members of the Night Cloaks, Denton Glenchester, and Rowan Grey.
