A God of a Dead Age has chosen you.
Take this Shade Raven. Much as it will serve as your familiar, you, too, are the familiar of the Raven Queen. If it falls, it will rise again in blackfire. And so will you.
This Shade Raven is a familiar, however it does not gain the benefits described in the Find Familiar spell. It cannot use the help action, allow you to see through its eyes, or allow you to cast touch spells through it. It rolls its own initiative for combat. If it is reduced to 0 Hit Points, the Shade Raven's Master can use their reaction to have it be born again in shade and flame. It deals 1D4 Necrotic to all creatures within 5 feet of it, and gains 1 Hit Point. This feature can only be used once per long rest.
Additionally, if your Shade Raven is still alive and you are knocked unconscious, you can add 1D4 to your death saving throw as you grow closer to the Raven Queen in the twilight of Life and Death. If the roll is equal to or greater than a 20, you rise again in a burst of shade and flame gaining back 1D8 Hit Points, and dealing 1D8 Necrotic to the creature that struck you down. This feature can only be used once per long rest, and only if the Shade Raven has not used its own resurrection feature that day.
