Long before the rise of the great cities, a forgotten druidic circle known as the Order of the Ancestral Crow wandered through the wild frontiers of the continent. They believed that ravens and crows were sacred messengers between the mortal realm and the spirit world.
Members of this order performed ancient rituals to bind their souls with the spirits of these birds. Through their ceremonies, they gained heightened perception, prophetic visions, and the ability to communicate with the dead. The ceremonial feather cloaks and bone-crafted masks were not mere garments, but vessels used to channel ancestral energy.
Over centuries, the order vanished after attempting to awaken what they called the “First Flock” — an ancient spiritual force said to predate civilization itself. Only fragments of their teachings survived, hidden in scattered relics and sacred garments.
Those who wear the Ancestral Crow attire are said to hear whispers carried by unseen wings. Some claim it grants wisdom. Others warn it carries the burden of voices that should never have been awakened.
