Raven Knight

A Raven Knight is fearsome in battle, fusing martial prowess with strange abilities gifted by the Raven Queen. Many Raven Knights work alone, though some may find a small band of companions to aid them in battle, and some may even command and lead entire armies into battle. Masters of death, Raven Knights seek to protect those who cannot protect themselves from undeath and the afterlife. Powerful Raven Knights may even become champions of the Raven Queen, and thus champions of the battlefield.
