The Legend of the Raven

🇬🇧 It is said that John of Hunedoara was the illegitimate son of Sigismund of Luxembourg, King of Hungary. The king had fallen in love with a beautiful woman from the land of Hațeg, known as Elisabeth of Mărgina. To preserve her honour, Sigismund arranged her marriage to one of his loyal knights, Voicu, and gifted a golden ring to the unborn child—a token by which the boy might one day be recognized at court.

During a journey taken by Voicu’s family, they stopped for a modest meal. As fate would have it, the ring was carelessly left at the edge of the cloth where their food had been spread. A raven, drawn by the glint of gold, swooped down and snatched it away. But young John, quick and unerring, took up a bow and felled the raven mid-flight, reclaiming the ring.

Years later, upon reaching the royal court, John recounted the tale. The king, moved by the story and recognizing the boy as his own, decreed that the emblem of the Hunyadi family would henceforth be a raven bearing a golden ring in its beak.

Now, centuries later, the legendary ring has vanished once more. No one knows who took it, but the descendants of the Corvin family are calling upon you to recover it. Your mission: to follow every clue, honour every detail, and restore the gleam of pride to a noble lineage. Once, John reclaimed the ring. Now, it is your turn to write history.
