Portrait of Helena Ravendancer, ca. 1539

Portrait of the famed daughter of the Lady of the Raven: Helena Ravendancer.

Despite her mother’s tragic fate, Helena managed to survive through a chaotic age. From her humble cottage in Ravenwood, she continued her mother’s legacy of protecting and aiding occult Sims, becoming a skilled potion master and a guiding figure among spellcasters during a time of turmoil.

According to several sources, Helena herself played a crucial role in the fall of the Church of Yacothia, casting numerous curses and hexes upon the elite of its hierarchy — an act of vengeance against the inquisitors who had executed her mother.

Little is known about her personal life, except that she had a bastard daughter, with countless rumors surrounding the father’s identity: a Landgraab, a Goth, or perhaps even a royal prince...

We challenge destiny.

Portrait of "The Lady of the Raven", ca. 1501

Rowena was the daughter of the Goth family, and from a very young age she showed great gifts.

After the tragic death of her mother in early childhood and the discontent of her father, who married shortly after to have male heirs, Rowena was repudiated by her own family when they discovered that she was a sorceress.

She exiled herself and moved to a cabin in Glimmerbrook, where she had decided to care for and heal any sim. Thanks to her great powers, her healing ability and wisdom, she helped reunite the magical world after the Great Hunt and the events of Moonwood Mill, becoming the leader of the magical community, receiving the nickname 'the Lady of the Raven'.

She fell in love with a pirate from Aarbyville and they had a daughter, thus founding the Ravendancer lineage. However, she was captured by the Jacobins and condemned to the stake by the Inquisition of Yacothia. To protect her daughter from having the same fate as her mother, she sacrificed herself by giving herself to the flames. It is said that as her body expired on the pyre, a glowing raven, made of living fire, appeared within it and flew upwards, proving that she was a powerful sorceress of her time.

Her death was mourned by the entire magical community and a poetic saga was composed in honour of 'the Lady of the Raven'.

May her memory live on for eternity.
