The common belief was that this holy symbol was given to a paladin Lugdana by a giant raven or a divine servant of the gods - angel who took on a form of a raven. The paladin wielded the magic item, ridding the land of foul vampires until his death. Clergy of Ravenloft adopted the symbol as their own after Lugdana's demise.
