She rules from Letherna, a fortress of black spires where the recollections of the dead are gathered and kept, and her symbol is a raven's head in profile. What she was before is disputed even among her own; most tellings hold she was an elven queen who reached for divinity and was changed by the attempt into something neither living nor dead. The shadar-kai are hers — elves who dwell in the Shadowfell and serve her as agents, soldiers, and keepers. She is neither kind nor cruel, but remote, exacting, and interested only in what endures. To her, a thing remembered is not entirely gone. She contests the Shadowfell with [[Shar]] on precisely that ground: the Lady of Loss would have all things forgotten, and the Raven Queen keeps the record.
