"That's right, it's the Raven's Claw!" Lemour looked at Elwyn and continued, "The fact that you know this name means that you've put in a lot of effort in the history of ancient magic. This fanatical heretical organization was born more than six hundred years ago. The original members were all from the Ravenclaw Academy in Hogwarts. They consider themselves to be the orthodox descendants of Ravenclaw and believe in the Goddess of War, Kerrigan. She is an extremely important deity in the Celtic Mythologies, representing wisdom and war. "
The Goddess of War appeared in different mythologies. Although the name was different, the priesthood was generally the same.
In ancient times, the Celtic warriors would pick up a stone that represented them before they went to war, mark it, and pile it together at the edge of the battlefield.
When the battle was over, they would retrieve their stones and leave the rest where they were, piling them up like a small burial mound. They believed that the warriors who died were the sacrifices taken by the Goddess of War, Kerrigan.
Therefore, the appearance of the Goddess of War was often accompanied by war, death, and destruction …
Even so, she was still a righteous deity. It was hard to imagine that she would have anything to do with a cult.
As for the relationship between Ravenclaw and the Goddess of War, it had been explained many times before. This ancient sorcerer family was said to be the direct descendants of the Raven that Kerrigan had transformed into. They were also known as the Greedy Plunderers, describing their thirst for wisdom and knowledge.
Elwyn had confirmed this from the memory left behind by Rowena Ravenclaw.
"At that time, Buxbarton was just a small school that had just been established, but Hogwarts was already a very famous magic school. It was much larger than it is now. More than two-thirds of the sorcerers in the entire magic world graduated from there." Nicole Lemour recalled the past and continued, "The most famous of them all was the Ravenclaw Academy. Only the most intelligent people were qualified to enter it. During that era, their wisdom was able to guide the development of the magic world."
More than six hundred years ago, the Muggle World was in the midst of the Renaissance, which was considered to be the prelude to modern European history.
At that time, the world of magic was also undergoing a huge transformation. The old magic system was gradually abandoned, and new magic theories and more practical ways of casting spells were invented. All of this was led by the wizards represented by the Ravenclaw Academy.
These new magic schools and organizations not only innovated in magic theory, but also advocated different ideas, including many that now seem absurd and even wrong …
"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but one day, a wizard from Ravenclaw Academy suddenly announced that he had found a revelation left behind by Rowena Ravenclaw in Hogwarts Castle. The core of the revelation was that the Goddess of War, Kerrigan, would once again descend upon the mortal world and carry out Judgment Day. Everything would be destroyed, and only the descendants of Ravenclaw and the believers of Kerrigan would survive …"
Elwyn had read what Nicole Lemaire had just said in a book, but no matter how he thought about it, it was ridiculous.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it?!" Lemaire stared at Elwyn and said in a hoarse voice, "At that time, everyone thought so and ignored the wizard and the organization he founded, Raven's Claw. However, the organization's growth was beyond people's imagination. The wizard seemed to have really found the power left behind by Rowena Ravenclaw, a powerful magic from ancient times."
Without a doubt, the wizards of Ravenclaw Academy were very smart. When they became fanatical and paranoid, they were much scarier than ordinary people.
Raven's Claw quickly became a huge cult. In the following decades, they frantically searched the world for the relics left behind by the ancient sorcerers. No one knew what they were looking for, and no one knew if they had found anything.
Everyone only knew that they had done many crazy things and planned many horrible massacres.
Unlike Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters, Raven's Claw did not want to rule the world of magic. What they wanted was chaos and destruction.
In the beginning, because of the relationship between Ravenclaw and Kerrigan, the members of Raven's Claw regarded the Goddess of War as the only deity they believed in. However, as time went by, the deity they worshiped gradually mutated and became an ancient deity that existed longer than anything else.
Those fanatical believers firmly believed that in the near future, the ancient gods that they worshiped would break the cage that imprisoned them and return to the world. They would restore order to the ancient times and carry out the judgment of the end of the world for all living beings.
Using the ancient magic they found, the members of this organization were very powerful, far stronger than ordinary wizards.
The most famous and crazy thing they did was to attack the Hogwarts during their heyday.
They attempted to completely destroy the world's largest magic school in order to find more clues.
After excavating countless ancient magic relics, the founder of Raven's Claw believed that the important clue left behind by Rowena Ravenclaw had not been found. The clue was still somewhere in the Hogwarts, and it was the key to welcoming the Day of Revelation and initiating the Judgment Day.
Therefore, they had to attack the Hogwarts.
As expected, this act of making enemies of the entire magic world led to the destruction and disappearance of this fanatical organization.
This part of history was a compulsory part of ancient magic history. Unlike other wizards who scoffed at this, when Elwyn read this part of history, he suspected that Ravenclaw might really have left behind a clue about an evil god.
This clue was discovered by the person who came later, and he made use of it to get in touch with the terrifying evil god …
Therefore, the ancient god that Raven's Claw worshiped was an evil god.
The Judgment Day that they propagated was a successful evil god that would destroy the world.
"I told you before that I found the Book of Abraham and the Sorcerer's Stone during an adventure in Egypt more than six hundred years ago. At that time, I was lucky enough to escape from a man-headed lion and got lost in the desert. I struggled in the endless yellow sand for a few days until that night," Lemour said slowly, her voice as miserable as ever.
Elwyn heard this story from Lemour last summer.
He knew that he saw the ancient prophet Abraham in his dream and obtained the magical magic book from him, starting his own legend.
