Faction Background:
Spoiler
The Ravens of Odin are a cult that have existed in secrecy for hundreds of years in parts of Canada and the United States. Originally, they were mistrusting of any form of government, instead preferring to associate only with one another. As the world advanced without them, it soon became obvious that if they remained cloistered as they were, they would be left behind, and so they began sending out members to learn about the state of the world and bring them back the advances of civilization. A small city was built on these findings located far to the north in Canada, completely isolated from the outside world, and it was not until the middle of the 21st century that they were discovered.
An unexpected launch signal was detected from the northern wastes of Canada, and by tracing the ship back, the United States managed to discover the location of this city. Informing their allies to the north, the Canadians reacted in confusion, sending a military division to investigate. The Ravens were shocked that their location had been discovered, and over the next year, the city was completely abandoned as they refused to allow the Canadians to ‘integrate’ them into their society.
Determined to never be discovered again, the Ravens spent the next couple of decades devoting themselves to remaining hidden. The cult had grown to a rather substantial size, and opted to scatter into several smaller groups to avoid detection. They communicated in secret, and rarely, and their lines of communication remained hidden even to the nations which they were in.
As a result, when the chaos began, the Ravens of Odin were well situated to ride it out. Their lines of communication were durable and hidden well, and most remained intact, and even with the leaders of each group dying, their faith and organization kept them from giving into panic. They chose new leaders, and their leaders joined the Ravens back together, just in time for the Marked to strike.
The Ravens of Odin are not fighters by any means, and the first attack by the Marked was absolutely devastating. Tens of thousands were killed, and their members were scattered. In desperation, the Ravens finally decided to break their solitude, fleeing towards the North American spaceport. Remaining hidden was less important than surviving, and their mild paranoia for the outside world was nothing compared to the threat of the Marked. And space is a vast place: once there, they could probably hide forever if they so wished.

Description: Heidi Solberg married Johan shortly after they both returned to the Ravens, though they had never met before then. Heidi’s youth was filled with adventures, breaking into secure facilities to acquire government secrets to gift to the Ravens or leading small raids on government facilities and slipping away completely undiscovered. Now in her middle age, Heidi has calmed down a bit, and has certainly lost her touch with a weapon, though it’d be foolish to think she doesn’t still have what it takes to be a functioning member of the Ravens.

Curious and innovative, Hildur is one to research pretty much anything that comes to mind, even things that most people consider to be impossible. After all, humanity once thought space flight was impossible too.
