==History== [[File: Trevor Cook A Time for Ravens.JPG|thumb|350px|A Time for Ravens, by Trevor Cook Β© Fantasy Flight Games]] The [[children of the forest]] taught the [[First Men]] to use ravens to communicate over long distances. The [[greenseer]]s of the children could change their skins and speak through the birds. Unlike humans, ravens can speak the [[True Tongue]], the language of the children.{{Ref|aDwD|34}} Some priests of the [[Iron Islands]] believe that ravens are servants of the [[Storm God]].{{Ref|AFFC|1}} In the [[Faith of the Seven]], the first raven is said to have been let into the world when the [[Crone (the Seven)|Crone]] peered through the door of death.{{Ref|ASOS|2}} There is a dead [[weirwood]] of colossal size in the [[godswood]] at [[Raventree Hall]] in [[Blackwood Vale]]. Every evening at dusk hundreds of ravens come and roost on the tree all night, as they have for thousands of years.{{Ref|aDwD|48}} [[Aegon I Targaryen|Aegon the Conqueror]] sent a cloud of ravens from [[Dragonstone]] at the start of [[Aegon's Conquest|the Conquest]].{{Ref|FAB|1}} King [[Baelor I Targaryen]] attempted to replace messenger ravens with doves.{{Ref|AGOT|60}}
