Raven

The Raven is a non-playable character who gives the player quests and shares the lore on history of Niffelheim.

The Raven sometimes lands near the player's Castle where the Raven can be interacted with to receive a quest or a fragment of lore.

Quests

Only one quest from the Raven can be active at a time. The player cannot receive a new quest from the Raven until they complete the previous quest by claiming the reward.

The Raven will stop coming to the player's Castle once all the quests are completed and the player receives Fragment of the Portal to Asgard.

1	Treat	Egg (2)	Chicken (1)	Caw... I mean, hello there, brave warrior! My name's Hoog, and I've got some advice for you. First off, don't be depressed - the foggy banks of Asgard need you more than the halls of Valhalla! Secondly, even after death you shouldn't ignore your health. These little partridges are a great source of protein, and the same goes for their eggs. Mmm, tasty! I wouldn't mind having a few of those eggs myself, if you know what I mean...
2	Gatherer	Twigs (3)	Torch (1)	Darkness! Horror! Doom! My nest on Yggdrasil was blown away by the wind from the realm of the dead. I need some brushwood, quick! Bring me two dozen sticks and I'll be sure to make it up to you. I'll give you a torch - it will help you underground.
3	Forester	Acorn (5)	Beer (1)	My, how far we are from Asgard. I've flown for so long, now I'm starving. Help a poor little forest bird, won't you? I think five acorns will be enough to keep me going. Don't worry, I'll show my gratitude.
4	Hunting Time	Bird Meat (2)	Chicken Cacciatore (1)	Birds. Oh, these useless, annoying creatures! There's only one good thing about them - that tasty tender meat. Ahem, don't look at me like that, I'm a special bird. I have a name! Hoog... or was it Moon? I keep forgetting... Oh, nevermind! Just bring me two chickens. Time to go hunting!
5	Tender Meat	Rabbit Meat (2)	Rabbit Roast (1)	By the way, do you know that you can cook meat instead of eating it raw? Oh, sorry, you're a human, it was your invention after all. What about rabbit meat? Bring me two rabbits, I'll cook them and you will get one. And some coins on top. Sounds good?
6	Salt Cave	Rock Salt (2)	Flour (2)	Salt is the cornerstone of health! Even trolls lick the walls of their caves deep underground to get a dose of the good stuff. Fortunately, there is a more civilized way to obtain it: You can hammer salt out of a rock or buy it from the merchant in Temple City.
7	Heady Fun	Honey (2)	Honey Pancakes (1)	My master is a known lover of mead. One time he even seduced an ugly giantess just to get to the... Ah, nevermind, the point is that mead is made from honey. How about you bring me a few pots? I'm planning a small get-together in my nest.
8	Feathers for the Feathered	Feather (5)	Iron Arrow (30)	Do you remember your funeral? When your comrades-in-arms laid your body on the drakkar and returned to the shore, where they feasted for three days and three nights, reciting all of your victories and escapades? They had no doubt you were going to Valhalla, but they were wrong. You are here and this is the highest honor. You were chosen by the masters of Asgard to save all Nine Worlds. So go get me ten bird feathers. Come on, don't give me that look! There's a reward in it for you!
9	Arachnophobia	Spider Cocoon (2)	Spider Steak (1)	Spiders sure are nasty creatures, aren't they? The larger the scarier! Small ones are okay - close your eyes, jab 'em with something and that's that. But the big ones... They give me the creeps! And it's amazing how many there are. In each and every world there's fighting with spiders.
10	Iron Will	Iron Ingot (5)	Iron Trap (5)	Vikings are made of steel. I always say that... Or was it Hoog? Or maybe I'm Hoog? Nevermind, that's what one of us always says - and whoever that was, he was right! You vikings are unbendable and unbreakable. The only problem is rust. So if you don't want to get rusty, come have a swing with the pick in the dungeon. I need five iron bars badly - to make an unusual trap.
11	Mushroomer	Boletus (3)	Mushroom Pie (1)	Do you know what vikings and crows have in common? They love meat. But meat is not enough to satisfy hunger, is it? What about those vitamins and minerals and stuff? Or that thing... Fiber? Or hallucino... Ahem, sorry, what was I talking about? Oh, yes, mushrooms! Try and find me a boletus, and I'll bake a nice mushroom pie.
12	Filling Pie	Lamb (2)	Meat Pie (1)	Eww, these mushrooms are disgusting! The nastiest thing I've tried in my life. The situation is dire, but a nice meat pie will save me! Two lamb chops, and make it snappy! Quick! Hurry! A raven is dying in here...
13	Rope Time	Rope (2)	Oil Lamp (5)	Have you ever been hung on a tree and pierced with a spear in an act of altruistic self-sacrifice? No? I agree, this is a complicated and bizarre idea. I mean, a rope would be enough. And speaking of ropes! I desperately need a few coils. Will you get them for me?
14	Big Catch	Brown Bear Meat (1)	Titanium Arrow (30)	How can you tell a real bear from a berserker shapeshifter? You've got to scratch it behind the ears. A berserker will surely bite your hand off. Remember this for the next hunt. I need a nice slab of bear meat. The bigger and juicier, the better.
15	Mighty Beast	Buffalo Meat (1)	Smoked Ham (1)	The mighty buffalo is the most dangerous beast in these parts. It knows no mercy, no fear, its horns are sharp as the fangs of the World Serpent and its hooves are heavy like the hammers of the red-bearded gods. Only a true hero deserving a place in the Hall of the Slain will be able to prevail against it! Erm... take the hint...
16	Collector	Cockerel (1)	Fragment of the Portal to Asgard (1)	Hey, are you collecting these knick-knacks... What are they called... Shards of the Ancient Portal, I think? Don't be embarrassed, I'm not judging you, everyone needs a hobby. I like all kinds of shiny stuff - like this piece I found. Yes, I have one. Do you want it? I'm willing to swap it for a rooster. After we win, I'm going to start my own poultry farm in Asgard and live life to the fullest.

Lore

No.	Name	Story
1	Arrival	Welcome to the Land of Fog, warrior! We don't know each other but I believe you've already met my brother, Hoog. Or was it Moon?.. Stupid names, I always forget who is who! But one thing I know for sure - I am the smarter one. Well, your mission here in Niffelheim is very complicated and dangerous. But you've already gotten used to danger, haven't you?
2	Source of Worlds	Caw... How are you, warrior? Don't you find the thick fog troubling and the cold wind tiresome? It's always like that in this place. This land is dead. It's been dead for so long, that no one remembers it alive. Except for me. I do remember and can tell you the tale, if you'd like. Ahem... In ancient times, before the Nine Worlds existed, there was a spring here by the name of Boiling Kettle. The eternal cold around it turned water into ice, but the spring didn't freeze and... Wait a minute! What's that? Can you hear it? A sale on pine nuts in Valhalla! Pine nuts! I'm sorry, viking, we will continue some other time!
3	Challenging Gods	Greetings! How about a small history lesson? Where was I? Ah, yes, the frost giants! No? Nevermind, there was nothing interesting before them anyway. So the frost giants and their leader Ymir launched an assault on Asgard. A war with the gods is not an easy thing, and the giants were fighting a losing battle until they came up with an idea to pour Chaos into the Boiling Kettle thus creating the most powerful weapon in the Universe. Would you like to find out what happened next, warrior? Then travel to Temple City, admire its architecture and return here.
4	Temple City	Have you had the chance to visit Temple City? Have you noticed its position? The Priests of Death have built it over the Boiling Kettle - the spring from which all Nine Worlds were born a long time ago. The same spring was used by the frost giants to build their main weapon.
5	Secret Weapon	And we are moving on, deeper into the past! So the giants were ready to destroy Asgard once and for all, but all of a sudden Loki steps in. The ginger double-crosser sneaked into Ymir's lair and stole the secret weapon. I won't go into detail on what he had to turn into to pull that one off... Even ravens appreciate the bounds of decency. Anyway, Loki stole the secret weapon and the gods unleashed their fury on the inhabitants of Niffelheim. Ymir was killed and he lost so much blood that all the other giants drowned in it. All except for Bergelmir and his family - they escaped on a boat and eventually drifted to the shores of Jotunheim. Do you see where I'm going? No? Well... I could explain, but my throat is sore from all the talking. I need some rest and inspiration.
6	Bergelmir's Kin	Great! Now where were we? Bergelmir? Ah, yes! He settled in Jotunheim and started the race of jotun. It was his great-granddaughter Angrboda, the mistress of the Iron Forest, who later had a lovely child named Hel - the mistress of Niffelheim, the dark realm of the dead. Meanwhile the gods were trying to decide what to do with the weapon created by the frost giants. It was impossible to destroy, as well as everything born in the Boiling Kettle. Therefore it should've been hidden, right? So they hid it somewhere in these foggy lands. However it was so long ago, nobody remembers exactly where it was hidden. And here is where you step up, warrior. Your mission is to find the frost giants' secret weapon and return it to the gods of Asgard. It's not safe to keep it in Niffelheim any longer!
7	Renegade Priests	Greetings, warrior! Have you already found out who the master of the Death Priests is? Have you seen what is hidden beneath those black hoods? I hope so... We couldn't trust the fate of the Nine Worlds to some simpleton. But do you know that not all of them trust their mistress? Some of them doubted her truth, were frightened by her intentions and abandoned her. They are hiding in the dungeons of Niffelheim. Find the renegade priests and support their cause!
8	True Identity	Greetings, warrior! Rumor has it, there is a sorceress around here that fancies you? Love is a wonderful thing, no doubt about that, but be careful. Try to take a better look at this sorceress and think carefully: Is she really who you think she is? What are her true intentions? Women are such strange beings. Especially, women of Niffelheim...
