About Ravana ValiOriginally devoting himself to the Green Faith, Ravana took it a step further looking to find balance within himself as well. No weapons, no armor, pure physical, mental, and spiritual fortitude and attunement to Golarion and the Material Plane - he made his home cut into an ancient redwood tree within the Shudderwood Forest that was killed by a lightning strike. It was never an easy life, dealing not only with the werewolves and fey that call the forest 'home', but also dealing with the demons from the worldwound, and the fiendish, twisted fey that have been corrupted by the Worldwound itself, but he, along with a small group of other druids were of the opinion that if there were any place on Golarion that needed the oversight and protection of druids, it was the Shudderwood. After several years they had managed to cordon off a small grove, used as a home for themselves, and on rare occasions permitting a small squad of Crusaders or similar to rest and tend their wounds before continuing in their campaign against the demons, corrupted fay, and everything else. It was a harsh, but fulfilling existence and with each passing day, they'd expand their grove a small bit, working from within to clear the taint of the Sudderwood - not easily, by any means, but steadily. Until they made the area available to yet another group of fighters headed back towards the Worldwound... This group had come into possession of a cursed artifact. On a moonless night, the artifact possessed its carrier and wrought devastation over the protected grove. Trees split asunder, most of the other druids killed, the land scorched and bleeding with a demonic taint, the combination of every bit of vileness that he had fought against permeating his now-destroyed home broke something in him.
With the hook sent, and doubt creeping into his mind, she pulled the trap closed, pitching that with most of the world set on opposing the forces of Hell, the Abyss, and Abaddon, and she building one of the greatest armies ever seen in the cosmos with the intention of taking the fight to Heaven for a change, he could become hers, to use the taint left behind by the Iomedaeans as a source of strength, to return the devastation inflicted upon him to Iomedae and her followers, and provide a bit of balance back into the world. With delirium setting in, he agreed on the condition that once Iomedae has been destroyed, he would have to balance that with the eradication of an evil deity as well, and he'd start with Eiseth herself unless given a reason to do otherwise. With that, devotion to the Green Faith was replaced with willing servitude to Hell's Valkyrie, and slow cleansing of evil was replaced with a passion for vengeance upon not only those who had caused all of this, but on the deity who inspires them. With a couple of days' planning, Ravana traveled to Kenabres, hoping to follow a group of crusaders out into the wild and assist the denizens of the Worldwound in exterminating these men. Unfortunately, this particular group overwhelmed the demons and captured Ravana, escorting him back to Kenabres and throwing him into a holding cell. Background questions:
