The Raven Queen

"You will be my Champion, and when it's time you'll join by my side like the others before you; if you can understand, I'll grant you the power you seek" -Raven Queen

The Raven watches over the mortal planes anticipating every living being's death, she doesn't cause that death per-say but she ushers the souls that died to their final places. Every once in a while she pulls a soul aside and returns it to life for reasons only known to her. Her reach of power is limited beyond the Shadowfell but is very powerful when she does. Often times Warlocks will be visited by a Raven either sent from the queen herself because she saw fit or because she was beckoned. Unlike other Patrons that warlocks deal with the Raven demands Fealty to her Offering them a place among her ranks in the afterlife. She communicates with her servants either through Visions, Dreams, Whispers, or a Raven. The Raven Queen is very active with her patrons, but not all warlocks are accepted. Many come to her begging for the power of the Shadowfell and many are turned away, oftentimes become Hexblade warlocks. 

The Raven Queen gives power to those freely she sees fit, but a price is paid to her especially the more power she grants her followers. She uses the warlocks to ensure the fates of the ones to die pass, and often times they are sent to end one's life that has created it. With a burning hatred for the Undead and especially Intelligent Undead, she expects her followers to strike them down or die trying. A warlock would be wary of striking a barging and pact with this unearthly power, She demands a great deal, but offers unfathomable knowledge and power.
