(Year 233, Spring) Up through Mazalom's history we often find references to Ravenwood. And that is not so strange, because Ravenwood is probably the oldest civilization of the kingdom. When Mazaloom's year count started 233 years ago, the Heighwood family claimed they already owned and used the Crow's Crossing hood, while the Mux-Raisser family claimed the rights to Whispering Glen. This is quite extraordinary, as all other areas of the nation seem to have been rather unoccupied land.
The Ravenwood administration was early, too, but we can't say for sure if it was a community like we define it today, or a few organizations with the particular interest in Thanatology, as Ravenwood is still famous for.
Anyway, the place grew into a small town, and Crow's Crossing became the administrative center. From early years there was a town board, unlike most other districts. Here in Ravenwood the board originally had 7 members, but gradually 4 of them were replaced with crows. Today the board includes Ravenwood Mayor, the Priest and the Undertaker, but they still consult the 4 crows when important issues are handled. The Mayor will be elected, but there is a tradition of this position being held by either House of Heighwood or House of Mux-Raisser.
