The Morrigan are a camp of Corax.
Overview[]
First Edition[]
This is an ancient society of female battle crows. Their number is always three, their positions passed down to chosen successors. Death, war and battle are their arena, and they often fly above Garou battles, croaking of doom. At time of great omen, all three will gather at the field of battle, and together can perform the Rite of Battle Blessing.
Second Edition[]
Battle-crow biddies, old and dry and fierce as autumn leaves. They're found in the Old Country - ahem, "the Auld Sod." Sod off, I say - they scare the hell out of me.
There are only three members of the Morrigan, and they serve Raven's less pleasant aspect. Whenever a Corax joins the Morrigan, she loses her old name and takes a new one, one of the faces of the Morrigan from legend. Bebd, Nemain and Morrigu - always the same names, ever since they started writing legends down. It doesn't matter if it's your lover of 50 years who gets picked; the woman she was dies the second they settle that new name on her, and all she lives for from then on is battle.
They say, in the legends, that Morrigan and Dagda were married once, then something happened and she turned cold and bloody. You can see that story all over again every time a new raven joins the Morrigan. You can see one light die in her eyes and a new, cold one start burning.
Word is that the three have the Sight, that the wind tells them when the next battle of the Garou is going to be. It might be; they're always there every time the wolves take up serious arms. They always bring eagles with them, too, to feed on the corpses after the Morrigan drinks their eyes.
Never cross one of the Morrigan. You do, your luck changes, and not for the better.
