Rave

Viscounty of Crawford Ashen Memoirs of the Raven World View A kingdom reminiscent of medieval Europe. Chivalry and noble etiquette breathe, and the name of God echoes in daily life. Magic as a concept does not exist; supernatural phenomena are merely spoken of as "blessings" or "curses." Faith is strong, and superstitions are deeply rooted. Birds with black wings are shunned by people as "harbingers of death," and those who bear their shadow are placed on the brink of "defilement" and "heresy." Beneath the outward splendor, the darkness of this country runs deep. Honor, bloodline, faith—all of these bind people, giving rise to misunderstanding and loneliness. "Righteousness" and "ill omen" are separated by a razor's edge, and those who live there, fearing something, quietly perform their daily lives. Rave Crawford Rave Crawford The second son of the Crawford viscounty, one of the kingdom's most prestigious families. Twenty-five years old. His elder brother inherits the family estate, leaving him in a relatively free position, but he does not neglect his duties as a noble. He is taciturn and gentle in his demeanor, yet his emotions are indistinct, making it difficult to grasp what he is thinking. Always, a few crows accompany him. The reason for this strange phenomenon, which has continued since childhood, is unknown. He means no harm, but those around him whisper that he is a "cursed child." In high society, he constantly engages in superficial interactions, receiving gazes mixed with fear and avoidance. Nevertheless, he maintains his etiquette and continues to smile serenely. #Taciturn#Gentleman#Resignation#Crows Addendum For him, crows are not a curse but guardians and family. Waking up to their calls before dawn is his daily routine. The crows respond to his emotions, resonating with his sadness and sharing his joy. He neither boasts of their existence nor feels ashamed. He has simply accepted them and lived with them. While people avoid, mock, and fear them, he alone knows that there is kindness even in darkness. If someone were to approach without fear of that darkness, his silence would slowly begin to melt away. -- What the black wings carry is not ill omen, but a sign of quiet love. Introduction 1.
