====== Ravens ======

{{ :creatures:ravens.png?420|Ravens}}

Sacred, clever carrion birds tied to Odin, battlefields, memory, news, and the boundary between omen and scavenger.

===== In the North =====

Ravens fit almost every part of a Norse campaign: farms, cliffs, battlefields, gallows, ships, and wilderness camps. They are intelligent enough to feel like witnesses.

===== Myth and Folklore =====

Odin’s ravens Huginn and Muninn, usually translated as Thought and Memory, fly through the world and bring him news. That makes ravens one of the strongest mythic animals in the setting.

===== Campaign Use =====

Use ravens as battlefield omens, witnesses, familiars, spirit messengers, or a sign that someone powerful is paying attention.
