Talk:Black Raven tribe

Tribal Alignment
I question the tribal alignment of CN stated in the article; Powers & Pantheons pp. 70 states that specialty priests of the Black Raven tribe are restricted to the alignments of LG, NG, LN, TN, LE, NE.

FRCS pp. 255 confirms this by stating that the clerics of the Black Raven totem bust be nonchaotic, which results in the same set of alignments as the 2e source P&P (LG, NG, LN, TN, LE, NE).

These two sources imply a tribal alignment at least leaning to the lawful end of the spectrum. However, Faiths & Pantheons pp. 85 states explicitly that the Black Raven tribal alignment is CE, which is utterly incompatible with the previous sources and with this article.

The source cited in this article (Silver Marshes pp. 26) is a location description; the only mention of alignment is that of the individual camp (CN). The actual description of the tribe (Ibid pp. 94) and of Black Raven player characters (Ibid pp. 96) do not mention any alignment requirements (though one NPC is CN).

Although the F&P reference might be a typo, without an explicit statement in 3.5 or later canon regarding the CN tribal alignment, which is incompatible with previous canon in both 2e and 3.0, I would remove the definitive statement of alignment and include a note or section indicating the conflict or illuminating the differences between editions.
