Finally you can answer the ages old question: How is a raven like a writing desk?
Corvidae in general, but ravens specifically, are incredibly cunning birds. When it comes to having a trainable pet on the wing, there are few choices as bright or cunning as the raven.

About Tamed Black Raven:
Not everything that travels the lands during Queen's Gaze is friendly.
The legends say that Queen's Gaze is a time when the Soulless – liches, vampires, and other horrors – are most active. Many of these malevolent forces are said to be able to pass as the children of Mann, which makes detecting them a dangerous game best left to experts. But, if you happen to be one of those experts, then these are the tools of the trade you're looking for.
Whether you are searching for a hidden horror or chasing a monster down to its nest, these tools will see you through.

For the Dras, nothing better symbolizes their devotion to the Two-Fold Queen
One bracelet of ivory, one of jet, each extremes of the other and yet identical in purpose. Is there a better symbol of the Al'Tifali faith? The Dras certainly don't think so. Paired bracelets like these have marked their faith for generations.

About Ivory and Jet bracelets
The legends say that not every lost child is lost... or a child.
According to the old stories, there was a time when monsters walked the land. Some of these creatures could take on the forms of their victims, while others would "ride" in the consciousness of their victims, influencing their victim's behavior to their own malicious end.
In their early history, Drasean healers developed techniques to both reveal and drive away such malevolent spirits they call "inducement". The process was often risky and painful for their victims.

About Exorcism kit
When you only have one chance to strike, you need a weapon that will guarantee success.
Known as the Chi`at'y Nesdr, this glass-bladed dagger is a holy tool of the Waerd. Used primarily in ritualistic assassinations, the poison held within the glass blade is an ancient recipe said to be able to affect daemons, and other monsters in addition to the children of Mann.
Each dagger can be used once, the blade breaking to deliver the poison inside, but the hilt is designed to allow a new blade to be joined to it after each use. The dagger's hilt is often engraved with prayers to the Two-Fold Queen.
