The Raven Queen is trapped by her fascination with the past. She sits in the shadows, amidst all the memories of the world, looking at the ones that please her most as though they were glittering jewels. Many great wizards have attempted to understand her motives, but like a raven she has always remained cryptic, keeping her cache of secrets just out of their reach.

Those who are blessed by Issylra often lose a memory important to them in exchange for great power.

Appearance

Issylra does not have a physical form but manifests as a miscellany of symbols and images. Those who have sought to give her form have depicted the Raven Queen as a figure in a black cloak, a white mask from which small black wings sprout from behind.
