Chronicle

06e02

Freki called out to his raven to fly cover for the party.

06e03

Scouted the Malosi’s tree portal, but was noticed by Andalla and vaporized.

12e08

With Munin, warned Freki of unseen threats in the Megil’ram, the thornbush, then dove into it, flushing out a flock of shrikes.

12e12

Appeared spectrally on Freki’s shoulder as time stopped: “The veil between life and death grows thin… Do we let this happen?”

13e01

Confirmed Freki’s connection to the third raven following them, and told him that his purpose was “to devour the world. Or… prevent others from doing so. The choice is yours.”

13e02

With Munin, told Freki the doppelganger had walked through a veil they could not follow “without knowing what she knows.”

13e04

Affected somehow by Talos’s soul-pulling attack; afterward, landing on Freki’s shoulder, the ravens said something had happened to them that they did not understand, but they were OK now.

14e03

Clear before, but veiled beyond the portal, while Munin became clear.

14e04

Spoke aloud to Vondal at Freki’s request about Freki’s destiny, then implored Freki to help Munin: “She is the power of memory. She should remember. Find the truth.”

15e00

Returned to Freki once he accepted his wolf nature: “Vecna’s hold over us has been broken.”

15e02

With Munin, followed Lestache at Freki’s request, and shared with Freki the meeting they witnessed between Lestache and the halfling Frokim. The ravens agreed to search the endless caves for captive halflings.

15e04

Diving toward Sophie’s hideout, the ravens poofed out of existence; according to Sophie, they were eaten by Tiamat.

15e07

With Munin, appeared to escort Freki’s arrow of slaying into the Death Tyrant.

15e08

With Munin, warned Freki that the time was approaching, then urged him out of his bloodlust: all his forms are him, no one better than another. They distracted Enoch so Freki could bite him.

16e01

With Munin, appeared to Freki as he passed beyond the veil of death beneath HQ: “Everyone lives two lives. The life… and the echo.”

16e04

In the tower, the ravens flew to the false Raven Queen’s shoulders, telling Freki they were where they needed to be, which felt very wrong to him.

16e06

Investigating the campsite with Munin, he told Freki: “The veil has been tampered with.”

16e08

After the Flux washed over the agents, Hugin had ram’s horns, and spoke aloud: “We have all been changed. We flouted the lady’s offer.” Cal sensed that Hugin was now undead, balancing life and death with Munin.

16e09

With Munin, told Freki the gate to the Afterworld was being held open for the agents, and later that the Raven Queen had opened it so they could deal with Nondal, though the damage had been done.

17e00

Told Freki they could shield Lorelei, and guided him to wrap her in his cloak; when she left in the night, the ravens chose to stay with her.

17e06

Inhabited Cal’s body during the battle against Rhyzophus, turning him into a furious flying were-sheep, until Cal’s rage subsided after knocking out Ormar.

17e07

Told Freki that he was the source of Cal’s anger, but could not withdraw from Cal on his own; with Kavaki’s and Freki’s help, Cal calmed down.

18e00

In Grohnea’s ritual, Freki came to know that his ravens are not pawns of the Raven Queen, but ancient allies steering history since the world was young, instruments of Gaia’s primal authority.
