Lore of Founding

Though the truth has long since gotten lost, as the stories are told by the Elders and over time stories have changed, the bloodline and culture was founded by Greytooth; first of his name. The idea for this bloodline and culture came when a raven, dark as the darkest night sky Svart visited Greytooth in his sleep, laying out the foundations that would make up the Svartravn family. Consequentially, a white raven named Kvit would be labeled as a traitor god, of whom Greytooth's brother: Greyworm worshipped, spilling the secret of a supposed betrayak. Over time, a great blood prejudice was borne, fed eagerly by the Elders of the family.

Distinguishing family traits

Dark pelages ( blacks, browns, greys ) are typical. Any eye color / size / build is fine. Any born with light coloration as their primary pelage color will be spurned: they are either killed as cubs, made to stay in lower ranks or kicked out of the pack entirely. Light colored markings may also be brutally spurned from the family though this is typically handled case by case. It could differ between the branch-off's.
