Raven Rock was the ancestral mound of the Black Raven[2] and Gray Wolf tribes of Uthgardt people.[1]
Geography[]
Raven Rock was located near the headwaters of Black Raven River in the Spine of the World.[3]
Geographical Features[]
The site was so named for the 100-foot-tall (30.5 meter) stone sculpture of a perched raven that stood atop the snow-covered plateaus that composed the tribe's burial mound. Just south of the stone was a wolf-shaped depression that surrounded an alter engraved with the phases of the moon.[1]
A number of stone menhirs dotted Raven Rock's plateaus.[1]
Rumors & Legends[]
Along the burial cairns found within, the ancestral mound held the spoils of war that were amassed by Black Raven raiders.[4] Two relics were included among the wealth of riches, each of which was highly valued by their respective tribe. A giant-sized ring of hardened magma was buried near the stone raven, while an enchanted red-dragon-femur was found near the Gray Wolf relic.[1]
Inhabitants[]
Members of the Gray Wolf tribe were forbidden from the mound's highest plateau. They gathered near their altar to the south.[1] The Black Ravens were rumored to have a consistent honor guard of no less than ten barbarians and ten giant ravens guarding the Raven Rock at all times.[5]
