Corvus

"'There's an old man tappin' on my window pane,""Wonder if he'll take me away.""His bony finger mixes with the rain,""Wonder if I'll get any say.""I hear him comin in the door now,""Wonder if I'll have time to pray.""Tomorrow they'll find my lyin' on my floor,""Never to see another day.'"- Excerpt from "Rainstorm Blues" by Thrush Elmore

Corvus is the First One deity of graveyards and the rain. Those that follow his ways guard the veil between life and death and are usually neutral presences within a group. Corvus' followers don't tend to allay themselves with any kingdom or organization and are encouraged to distance themselves from bonds to any one place. Because of their lack of significant earthly ties, followers of Corvus rarely gather in organized cults and temples to Corvus tend to be small, simple shrines scattered in various areas of death such as graveyards or ruins. A cleric of Corvus may be called upon to conduct funerary rights, dissuade undead, and initiate ceremonies intended to remember the dead.

Appearances
Corvus primarily appears as a tall, thin figure garbed in black, ridged armor and adorned with black feathers. Upon his head he wears a large helmet shaped like a crow's head that obscures the upper half of his face and sports a long, hooked beak. In this form, Corvus carries with him a long, serrated sword and is surrounded by an entourage of crows. Corvus uses this form when communicating with his followers and this is generally considered his "true" form.

Corvus is said to appear to people in disguise as a young man wearing a black coat and carrying an umbrella. He always appear in the rain and is followed by the heavy scent of petrichor. Corvus will appear in this way to people to test them or to otherwise walk about unbothered in the mortal world. An armored version of this form with a large pair of black wings may also be used by Corvus himself or one of his champions in moments of divine intervention.

Finally, Corvus' more monstrous form takes on the appearance of a giant black crow with five heads, four wings, and an exposed ribcage. This crow form may appear as an omen of death or when a mortal has incurred Covus' wrath.
