Editing History of The Ravens

Long ago, in a history now shrouded in the annals of time, the 
Ravens were created by the God of War, [[Giga]].  Indeed, legend 
says it is the second oldest clan to be created, started right 
after the victory over Corin-Mur. 
 
The early days of the clan were spectacular with people for 
centuries it was remembering the golden dawn of the Old Ravens. 
Perhaps this old glory was because Giga was assisted by so many 
able immortals and wise and just leaders. The Lady [[Godiva]] stood 
by his right hand as his immortal hero for centuries. The 
Legendry [[Chiasmus]], the Bard was without doubt the strongest 
mortal of his day- although his rivalary with [[Dusk]] of [[Discordance]] 
was much talked about. [[Aurora]] and [[Borealis]], the twins and [[Garne]], 
the [[Illithid]] likewise rose to be leaders.  However, Chiasmus' 
departure left a void, that was to be filled by [[Rukhsanaa]], the 
Queen of the Trolls, who rebuilt the clan in Giga's name into 
one where the young were welcomed. 
 
Other powerful leaders followed. [[Killian]] rose to take the place
of mortal leader, later to reach the same kind of preeminence 
that Chiasmus once held in the realms. But alas, the old glory 
did not last. At the time of [[Aerick]]'s emergence from the Astral 
Plane, Giga had become a much weaker power; only occasionly 
showing his countenance unto the mortal population.

Aerick toiled hard under the rulership of Giga, not knowing 
what deeds he performed could be overturned with a whim.  He 
brought new blood into the Clan and many were those who passed 
through the halls when Aerick did become the Storm's Call. Then 
a day came that changed everything.
 
Learning of deeds performed by the Storm Lord from his spys 
within the Astral Plane, Aerick did launch a surprise attack 
upon the Clan [[Maelstrom]]. [[Streiter]], God of Chaos, Lord of the 
Storm did discover Aerick within his Temple.
 
Streiter did many things to Aerick over several hours of...
interrogation.  It was at this time that Streiter and Aerick 
did come to an understanding and the Maelstrom did switch its 
energies into that of Aerick. Aerick became Lord of Maelstrom.
 
Aerick performed adequately within the service of Chaos Storm.  
Being the type of person that he is, he let is underlings do 
all the work.  It was their Clan afterall and he only did the 
duties that were required of him.

[[The Ravens]] went about their lives in Aerick's absence. And 
with time, Lord Giga left the realms, making way for [[Belidus]] as 
its Lord. He ruled wisely, though firmly. And was in turn ably 
assisted. Lord [[Sherrivus]] showed great promise as its Hero, 
before departing to the Circle. The Lady [[Undine]] took the clan 
under her wing as mortal Leader. Indeed she came to be with 
time the longest serving officer any clan has ever seen.
 
There became a time that a strange thing happened to the Gods. 
One day they woke to be Gods of other clans and became strange 
and beligerent. Most of these changes were to the good, some to 
the bad. Yet some things did not change.  Mortals went about 
their business as they always did, not caring who they worshiped 
as long as they got what they wanted.
 
It was at this time that the being known as [[Biavaschi]]'s was 
leader of the Ravens, as Belidus departed to lead the Circle 
of Fire. Using the [[Scales of Justice]] created by Sherrivus 
through some mysterious means, Aerick did force himself into
the Lodge of the Ravens in a futile attempt to create havok 
within the Lodge.  During the encounter between Biavaschii and 
Aerick, the Scales released so much energies that it destroyed 
itself, as well as Biavaschii, in a horrific blast.  When he 
came to, Aerick discovered the body of what appeared to be a 
young woman before him with the Scales shattered into its 
component parts. Using his various powers, Aerick attempted to 
recreate the Scales, yet they remained shattered.
 
Aerick searched through his memory as it appeared there were 
blank spots concerning the recent past.  The last thing that 
Aerick could remember before awaking was Streiter, the 
Stormbringer, placing his hand upon his own head.  A single 
mark upon his forehead was the only remembrance of that meeting.  
All other thoughts and memories were erased with the destruction 
of the Scales.  Perhaps it used up its powers in attempting to 
restore Aerick to what he once was.
 
New power did flow into Aerick with the shattereing of the Scales. 
It enabled him to become Judge of the Ravens.  Using his powers, 
he did summon forth a beast to serve him.  The beast took up his 
task quickly and easily as it went forth and hired several 
hundred workers to create a new hall in Aerick's name.  Several 
months went by as the Gnomish workers built a new hall to house the 
Ravens.
 
Aerick did seek to bring order and justice to the realms. The 
Clan rose in might and others came to aid him in his mission. 
Lords [[Uzell]] and [[Xirus]] came to be his Heroes, only to depart. From 
a clan of Law and Order, it once again became a clan of mystery 
and mystical knowledge. And the clan prevailed as it always did, 
its mortal leaders and the spirit of camaradrie among its members 
as always remaining its defining trait.
