Order of the Raven

The first members belonging to the Order of the Raven did not have their start as blood hunters, but as followers of the Raven Queen. These worshipers went on a pilgrimage to kneel in the presence of their deity, but found themselves alone in the colorless torn landscape of the Shadowfell. The followers wandered without a clear path, racked with fear and despair. Most of the followers fell to madness and lost their sense of self. It was months until members of other Blood Hunter orders found them among the ruins of the degraded landscape. Those followers that had any shred of motivation left, pushed forward under the care of the steadfast hunters, fighting the sense of hopelessness. It wasn't until they had made it past the veil into the Material plane that the hunters made the terrible discovery. It was far to late for the survivors and they noticed that there was a significant change made. The hunters had tried to find a way to fill the emptiness that had rooted itself into the poor souls, but the final decision was made to give them the Hunter's bane in hopes to reverse some of the damage. It was a shocking revelation when every rescued individual had survived the deadly imbibing of the poisonous concoction. It seemed to give them back some clarity and focus which they payed back in full pledging to aid in the fight against the dark forces.

The order of the Raven often seeks the companionship of adventurers, because of the pure emotion that kind of company brings. It is because of the emotion draining properties of the Shadowfell that the Ravens have insight to the wonderful nature of emotion, and they often express themselves unwilling to become unfeeling husks once again. The leaders to the Order of the Raven continue to pray to the Raven Queen for guidance despite their past ordeals and when new members seek to join the order they venture once more into the Shadowfell on a holy pilgrimage to test if they have what it takes to rebuild themselves back from nothing.

Ravenous Hunger

At 3rd level, Whenever you regain hit points, the dice for determining how many hit points you receive can be rolled again and you take the higher result.
