Valravn was born to Raleska in Ankyra Sound, a dystopic birth that nearly ended the life of his mother. Erzulie and Rosalyn raised him as his own while their adopted daughter recovered. Valravn was a jovial child, his confidence unmeasured save for one crux: his horror of the sea. When Valravn was nearly a year old, he was chased from Rusalka by a bear. Driven deep inland, Val became lost. Months passed where he joined ranks with Bearclaw Valley, a cult worshipping bears. A schism developed between him and Bearclaw's leader, Aventus -- Val fled with a puppy named Indra in tow. In the summer of 2022, Val reunited with Sapphique.
