the
Raven.
He

Vastai.
His
will
is
enacted
through
the
Raven's
Lease,
a
human
ruler
chosen
by
the
god
himself.
His
magic
is
sustained
via
the
blood
sacrifice
that
every
Lease
must
offer.
And
under
the
Raven's
watch,
the
city
flourishes.
But
the
power
of
the
Raven
is

A

Raven's
Tower
holds
a
secret.
Its
foundations
conceal
a
dark
history
that
has
been
waiting
to
reveal
itself...and
to
set
in
motion
a
chain
of
events
that
could
destroy
Iraden
forever.
