The Parliament of Ravens

A Parliament of Ravens is a collection of Supernatural Ravens, Crows, Magpies and other black birds (including at least one...duck?). They gather at verges, in the hedge and in dreams. While at these gatherings they have great debates and arguments. Visitors wishing to pass through their territory without being swarmed and viciously pecked must tell a them a story.

A parliament of Ravens was first recorded in Armidale, though it is likely that others exist elsewhere.

Armidale history (Awakening)

November:

A 'normal' raven presents a typewritten request to observe concillium meetings. Mort allows the raven to accompany him.

October:

• The verge in Madgwick leads to a corpse of trees with thousands of Ravens who speak in all languages, including English, the First Tongue and others.
• They demanded a story from each of the travelers, in order to pass through to the Shadow.

August:

• After encountering an individual claiming to be Odin in the Temenos, several mages encountered a massive flock of sentient ravens.
• The ravens agreed to send the mages back to their own dreams/bodies if one mage told a story now, and the others told a story at a later date. The mages agreed.
• The ravens liked the story and the mages were returned to their own dreams.
