Hi everyone, got a quick announcement to make!
I had to think about this a lot after receiving a few requests to make a Ravenshadow character, and let it sit a while and talk with the staff.
However, after the outcome of ATAE, and considering the rough logistics of House Ravenshadow to start, I am (and really, we are) no longer going to allow anyone to make applications for the family being already born to them. I am fine with the idea of a lost relative who needs recognized by plotlines and NPCs as a sort of quest reward to become part of the clan, and I am fine with the idea of earning from the NPCs a sort of adoption and consolidation into the line. Those I feel are the only ones I can in good conscience promote as ways to have a clan member now.
There had been someone who wanted to find a way to have Daeatria's fraternal sun elf twin sister still alive, and I may allow them to do that if they take interest again, but that is about it. I also had the discussion with staff revolving around the fact there are only so many nobles of a single line who could become adventurers before it breaks immersion.
This feels for the best, I think. Much love to you all!
Best wishes,
Arya
