Raven is best friends with Madeline Hatter, who originally was going to be her roommate until Apple White requested that she be roommates with Raven instead. Raven is also close friends with Cedar Wood and Cerise Hood . Above all else, the Raven Queen is mysterious. She is a dark secret, her name whispered in furtive tones throughout halls of forbidden learning. Gods aren’t very fun to fight in D&D 5e since, well, they’re gods. It won’t end well for your party. She fell deeper and deeper into a divine madness as she contemplated the loss of her kingdom and the failure of her plan. In those days, she was rumored to be a powerful human sorceress and necromancer who swore revenge against the god of death, eventually usurping him and – after a tangled web of alliances, betrayals, and power grabs went wrong – ending up exiled in the Shadowfell, reinvented as the Raven Queen.

Maybe it’s smaller scale than that, and perhaps a low-level villain simply wants to gain the Raven Queen’s favor (or, more probably, some of her power) by sacrificing a bunch of people in her name – maybe sending them to the Shadowfell if you don’t want to be as explicitly gory.

All knowledge of her and whom she used to be was wiped from the memories of mortals by Correllon and Lolth – who collectively agreed that the one thing they hated more than each other was some uppity mortal making a play for the throne. Her “body” is made up of a twisting jumble of stolen memories and darkness, and the elven deities Correllon and Lolth both wiped all memories of her from existence as punishment for getting in the way of their own little war for the souls of elvenkind. Not evil, but a manifestation of entropy, sorrow, decay, and the long, cold sleep when the lights go out. The History of the Raven Queen

As a goddess of death, the Raven Queen can impart a fraction of her power upon clerics who worship in her name. Some adventurers (returned to life a few days later once their companions scraped together the necessary cash for a resurrection spell) claim that the Raven Queen imparted unto them a quest, whether to learn some hidden secret or retrieve an item of great power in the mortal world. Clerics of the Domain of Death or the Grave Domain would make great candidates for disciples of the Raven Queen – although her obsession with collecting memories might also make her a potential deity for a Knowledge Domain cleric as well (albeit, a pretty creepy one). Mid-ritual, at the very gates of Arvandor itself, the elven queen realized what was going on and – as all new gods should get used to doing – smote the everliving crap out of the wizards. Because the elf queen was in a state of quasi-godhood, her anger at the evil (well, selfish and incurably stupid, at least) wizards twisted the ritual, catapulting the queen, her physical kingdom, the Shadar-Kai, and the wizards into the Shadowfell instead.Raven Queen, daughter of the Evil Queen, decides to flip tradition on its crown and chose her own destiny!
