The Storytellers

Each Raven has a unique name and background story to bring them to life.

Eluna, a name that evokes the silent, silvered mystery of the night and means "Moon Wanderer," is a storyteller uniquely attuned to the narratives that emerge when the sun yields its stage to the cosmos. Unlike her earthbound kin, who often focus on the bright, tangible world, Eluna glides through the nocturnal air, gathering tales bathed in moonlight: the secrets whispered under the cover of darkness, the dreams of sleeping creatures, and the quiet histories written in the celestial map above. She collects stories of introspection, mystery, and the hidden emotional currents that flow beneath the surface of the day. Her voice possesses a soft, haunting quality, weaving narratives that remind listeners of the profound beauty found in stillness, shadow, and the cyclical, gentle guidance of the moon as it wanders the endless sky.

In the dense, whispering forests of the Pacific Northwest, Nyra, whose name means Silent Wing, honed her craft not through raucous cawing but through the delicate art of observation. Unlike her boisterous kin, who reveled in the immediate clatter of the present, Nyra drifted through the towering cedar and spruce like a shadow, a silent, ebony current in the green undercurrent. This stillness allowed her to truly listen—to the ancient sap flowing in the trees, the secrets carried by the wind, and the faint, forgotten echoes of tales the land itself was trying to tell. She became the keeper of stories lost to time, tales of the mountain's birth, the river's first journey, and the stars' true names, weaving them into narratives as intricate and enduring as the interconnected roots of her forest home.

Kaula, whose name means "Black Feather," is an old soul among ravens, a keeper of tales in a world often too busy with the present to remember the past.

He gathered his first stories not from the beaks of elders, but from the land itself, learning to interpret the silent narratives of stone and stream. This unique ability has made him a solitary, almost mystical figure, one who views every event, no matter how small, as another potential chapter in the vast, unending saga of the natural world. He is a walking library of secrets and histories, his jet-black plumage a stark contrast to the colorful vibrancy of the worlds he describes, ever on the lookout for the next great tale to share with those patient enough to listen.
