    So, Seeing as my last faction post felt like more of a one up rather than anything serious I'm going to make an official post.
    I'm removing the order part of the and I'll keep it brief.

    We are the Ravens, Caw. We don't have a set purpose as other factions may other than to do the best we actually can. As as a result we are sort of a jack of all trades. We also intend to be a logistical faction, There is no point in fighting with due cause, and becuase fuck it, Why not.

    Pretty much we're in the process of building home nests and the like and gearing up, Etc. Slow work, But steady.
    If anyone is interested in joining.. Feel free to message me in game or through the forums.

    (I like throwing in images as well, Spices things up. Caw.)
    Just as fair warning, Us Ravens are a cautious lot. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. :P
    So my friends, Take flight, And enjoy your time! Caw.
    Even though we're known as an unkindness or a conspiracy we are the complete opposite! (For the former at least xD)

    Random Raven fact:

    Ravens can show empathy to each other.

    Despite their mischievous nature, ravens seem capable of feeling empathy. When a raven’s friend loses in a fight, they will seem to console the losing bird. They also remember birds they like and will respond in a friendly way to certain birds for at least three years after seeing them. (They also respond negatively to enemies and suspiciously to strange ravens.) Although a flock of ravens is called an “unkindness,” the birds appear to be anything but.

    Caw! Caw!

  2. Raven fact of the day! A bit long but still:

    Ravens are considered the most intelligent birds, displaying high learning ability and use of logic for solving problems, in some tests bypassing the chimpanzees. In one experiment, a raven had to reach a piece of meat dangling from strings bound to perches. To get to the food, a raven had to follow a series of actions: pull up a string stretch, hold a loop of it on the perch with a claw, then pull up another stretch and hold that loop. The birds had to repeat the action 6 times till getting the meat, while even after 30 trial crows did not succeed.

    Ravens could perform this complex sequence of actions straight away and they have never seen string before or encountered meat hanging this way. These birds pass very well complex tests, including "no tests" or "trial and error" ones that involve logic.

    Ravens put other animals to do tasks for them. Their beak cannot open tough skins of the carcasses, that's why when they encounter a big corpse, they make calls that attract wolves and foxes to the site and the large carnivores can break the carcass to expose the meat for the birds.

    The raven's developed intelligence is connected to their complex social lives and scavenging lifestyles. The birds must find out very rapidly how to locate themselves far enough from a wolf or fox not to be exposed to an attack when sharing a dead animal but close enough to get food.

    Ravens have been even taught to count.

    Due to exams this'll probably be the last raven fact for a few weeks.
    However, Enjoy!
