In the heart of the land of Umbra, where silvery moonlight danced upon the charcoal shadows, there reigned a queen who commanded both fear and reverence. Her name was Raven. The mere utterance of it sent shivers down the spines of all who lived within her dominion. She was not just a ruler; she was a deity of darkness, draped in flowing black satin that shimmered like the night sky adorned with stars.

Raven’s beauty was legendary. Her raven-black hair fell in cascading waves down her back, glimmering like the feathers of a crow under the scant light of the ever-watchful moon. Her eyes, deep pools of midnight, held secrets untold and promises unbroken. When she walked through the cobblestone streets of Noirhaven, the townsfolk would kneel, hearts pounding, as she passed. They could feel her presence before they even laid eyes on her; a palpable aura that enveloped her like a cloak, radiating waves of power and prestige.

In the quiet chambers of her castle, Raven ruled with a firm but fair hand—a duality that confused many. For beneath the surface of her dark charm lay a wisdom that was as deep as the abyss. She was not without her vulnerabilities, but those were reserved for her trusted few, and they were as complicated as the shadows she embodied. Her inner circle was comprised of men fiercely loyal yet equally sinister, each of them drawn into her orbit. They thrived in her realm, where their darkest desires were encouraged and embraced—a sanctuary for those who craved the thrill of shadow.

Every night Raven finished her duties for the day and fled to her bed chambers, her favorite few sturdy men awaited her in her room. The smile that rested on her face was sure because she knew those men would help wash away the stress from the day. So, Raven let them do just that.
