History

The Bloodraven Cult were Bird People who sought war with the "surface world." The rulers of Sky-Island banned the cult but they re-formed in secrecy, using magic to build a bomb that would release dark gods unto Earth. When their bomb was detected by Dania (daughter of the Red Raven, leader of the Bird People) sought aid from the visiting Defenders. During the battle, the bomb was set off and the Wayfinder began to cross the dimensions to Earth, clearing the path for the dark gods who would come after it. The cultists fought the heroes to prevent them from stopping Wayfinder's arrival but were defeated when Red Raven maneuvered Sky-Island itself into the portal. The cultists, defeated and captured, faced the judgement of Red Raven.
