Ravenwind is remarkable in not being especially remarkable. They didn't suffer great losses during the third war (though many members, including Celorfir Ravenwind gave their lives in the battle at Mount Hyjal). The family takes its name from the ruined city of Ravenwind where the family originated. The greatest tragedy to befall House Ravenwind in recent times is the death of Norbrimbor by the hands of an unknown assassin. Since his murder Anyviel has made herself scarce. The young Nouala Irendue has been the defacto matriarch of the Ravenwind family since her mothers self-imposed seclusion.
