Blagden

From The Inheritance Encyclopedia

Blagden is a white raven who lives in Ellesméra in the Elvish court. He speaks in riddles and constantly shrieks "wyrda" which means fate in the ancient language.

Blagden once saved King Evander's life.

"Evandar was fighting an Urgal when he stumbled and lost his sword. Before the Urgal could strike, a raven flew at him and pecked out his eyes. No one knows why the bird did it, but the distraction allowed Evandar to regain his balance and so win the battle." p.235

"...he thanked the raven by blessing him with spells for intelligence and long life. However, the magic had two effects that he did not foresee: Blagden lost all color in his feathers and he gained the ability to predict certain events." p.235
