Ilaira Nightraven

Summary/Background
A powerful and cold-hearted Fey of the Raven Court, Ilaira Nightraven is little more than an assassin by mortal standards, but among the Raven Fey she fulfills a sacred role. Dispatched by the Raven Queen as her emissary, Ilaira's blade is named the "Kiss of the Nightraven" and considered the judgment of the Raven Queen herself, which Ilaira Nightraven fulfills with dispassionate indifference to either the merit or severity of the judgment. Rumors and legends hold that the black starglass Kiss of the Nightraven can either slay the very soul itself along with the body, or trap it for delivery to the Raven Queen for further, greater punishments. Whether either of these claims are true or not, the Kiss of the Nightraven is merely one tool in Ilaira's arsenal, and between her inherent Fey magic and mythic agility she is a danger even to some gods.

Over thousands of years, Ilaira Nightraven has led and ended countless lives, and is purported to have both fathered and mothered at least 50 Half-Fey children and 20 full-blooded Raven Fey, though Ilaira's lineage is a closely guarded secret.
