First and principally I, Raven, Baroness of Ravensmoor, being of whole mind, commit and commend my untainted soul unto the hands of the Light my maker and preserver. And my Tainted remains to purifying fire, that I may never return to harrow the lands I and my ancestors so loved in life. I am the last of those that vowed to remove the Void from Ravensmoor, and though I fight on I know that my end must be near. My soul aches to be once more with all whom I have lost, yet will I die with regret, having failed to reclaim this benighted land.
Second, I hereby decree that any subject of Ravensmoor able to produce proof of former occupancy will have their property returned to them when, Light willing, it be safe to do so. Further, any descendant of my own Blackwing knights — heroes all who fought beside me and, to the last, died for my cause — shall be granted estates from my own domain and elevated to lordship.
Lastly I appoint my son, Sir Tancred of the Blazing Scions, to be my sole heir and lord of Ravensmoor upon my demise, but not to take up that title, its rights, or privileges until and unless he should purge that land of the Void. Tancred acts the lord and condemns me like as though he were a priest. Let him rescue these lands, and thereby substantiate that which he has long averred: that his mother was unworthy long before she was Tainted, and that he deserves dominion over what she has sacrificed everything to reclaim — eating ash among ghosts while he has played at being a hero in the queen’s retinue. Let him bleed for his land, as I have.
