Grief struck, Raven left Nerva and pursued a life among the locals at Mercy. Her hot temper and thievery left her undesired among the people and in the Zig. Which she broke out of on 7-14-06 during a massive riot.
She decided to help the Seer Kalinda out. It was a few days later, she stubbled upon an old abandoned keep atop a hill in Cap Au Diable. The Circle of Thorn had chased her there. She hid there for days. The old structure was full of Ravens and she watched how they looked after one another. The kept watch over the enitre flock. It was that day, she founded Raven's Nest.
On the third day, a dark figure approached the keep. The man wore armor from head to toe. He made camp just outside the walls. That night, Raven spied on the knight. She found he was very wounded and weak. She attended his wounds and he swore allegence to the Nest and was dubbed Raven's Knight.
The growth of the Nest membership steady climbed. It was made up mainly thieves and vagabonds. Most only hung around temporarily. At best it was place for one to catch their breath, but far from a home. A few months later, a young beautiful elven magician showed up. Her story was that of dispair. And like most she was welcome with open arms into the Nest.
Her name was Silent and her story was her own for no questions were asked in the Nest. Over the next few months, Silents abilities grew stronger and stronger. It was evident she was destined for great power.
Raven Stalker noted this about Silent and approached her on a blistering cold December day. They stood atop the walls of Raven's Nest and discussed its future. Raven Stalker had some personal business to attend to and needed Silent to run the Nest while she was gone. Silent was honored and took up the role.
Raven Stalker wrapped her cape tightly around her and walked off, disappearing in the snowy horizon. No one knows what has happened to her. But she swore to Silent she would return some day back to the safety of the Nest.
And that is how Silent Aftershock became the leader of Raven's Nest. View her diary for more info.
