The Coven of the Raven was founded by Selena Malthus, and are some of the most respected and feared members of the school, as they are adherents to the Goddess Mórrígan, who represents battle and strife. Though many see then as being very much like the Coven of the Stag, many Ravens will say that while Stags try to control the unrelenting powers around them, the Ravens embrace and use them to their advantages, and many of the Coven become Aurors within a few years of graduation. The Coven’s dueling club, the Valkyries, are the undisputed masters of dueling, winning the Institute’s Dueling Cup 8 of the last 10 years.
The Coven of the Raven is responsible for the Institute’s yearly celebration of Beltane, also known as May Day, on May 1.
