Historical Guide to (my) Ravenwood

(Year 233, Spring) Up through Mazaloom's history we often find references to Ravenwood. And that is not so strange, because Ravenwood is probably the oldest civilization within the kingdom. When Mazaloom's year count started 233 years ago, the Heighwood family claimed they already occupied Crow Farm (now Crow's Crossing hood), while the Mux-Raisser family claimed their rights to Whisp Farm (now Whispering Glen hood). This is quite extraordinary, as all other areas of the nation seem to have been rather unoccupied land from the very beginning.

The Ravenwood administration was early, too, but we can't say for sure if it was a community like we define a community today, or just a few organizations with the particular interest in Thanatology, that Ravenwood is still famous for.

Anyway, the place quickly 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.

New Zoo Attraction: Advardo!

(Year 233, Spring) Advorton Zoo, the only zoo of Mazaloom nation, is located in Ciudad Enamorada. Yesterday the zoo management announced this year's new attraction. Press was invited for what has become an annual Spring event. We all remember the chaos that followed when the Selvadoradian Giant Frog was introduced a few years back, and during the event it managed to eat two cameras and wound four journalists who moved to close to the iron fence intended to protect the audience from this scary jungle creation. The frog is still a popular attraction, but the iron bars have been replaced with a more solid version. Yesterday old and new zoo fans tuned in from many corners of the kingdom; What will be the next animal?

This time zoo manager Mónica López revealed that they got a rare copy of the Grim Standard Ascendant Crow! What? A common bird?
