About

These oracles sing the doom of gods and mortals. In addition, they know the runes, and can keep runestaves and runespears humming with the power of runic magic. Assume that many Doom Croakers have mastered one or more runes (explosives runes and glyphs of warding), and that they have access to prophetic knowledge, such as the names of heroic characters, their goals, and the time of their arrival in a ravenfolk rookery or settlement.
