ok. hope this makes sence

a couple of days ago i was reading the newspapaer and in one of the articles it said about this superstition. the superstition was that if all the ravens at the tower of london leave, the empire will fall.

when farqual was helping bart escape from the tower, the scared the ravens and they all flew away. the empire didnt exactly fall but the magicians did.

tell me what you think

Erm, well, the saying goes that:

"If the Ravens leave the tower, the Monarchy will surely fall"

So, its similar i guess.

I agree, Stroud may have written it in for that, but did they fly away from the tower, or just away from bart?

The ravens didn't leave the tower. They just flew off around it. Faquarl says that the ravens won't go any further than the outer wall, so they'll have to leave the ravens and run for it there.

yeah thats what i thought

I'm sure that the ravens left when the demons were attacking the city in Ptolemy's Gate. I would've. I'd be running everywhere. Like this guy: .

Didn't Jacobs Grandma say demons like to pick the form of ravens?

I wonder why?

Crows, not ravens.

I think they like to pick the raven's form b/c crows (or ravens lol im confused) are attracted to shiny things. Such is silver. So they are more likely to notice it, and with their demonic intelligence-avoid it.

Crows are relatively, but not too, small, black, and can fly. They're also very common. Perfect disguise.

Wouldn't a sparrow or pigeon be better?

Too small, not good enough fliers, and not black.

Not black?

Much easier to hide if you're black.
Plus, much more sinister for those missions that require it. Crows have a bad name - hell, a group of them is called a murder.

AND ravens are awesome!

Well, I just think that demons want to look cool, you dont see any afrits or what not walking around as a duck


pirates :pirate:

I'm sure they take both guises.

So Eternity, YOU'RE the traitor.

Yah, okay. Maybe you're right Gladstone, if you go all technical. So who's the fourth pirate supporter? There's Gladsone, Ptolemy123, Eternity, ????

Ravens are the smartest birds known to man, which probably has something to do w/ it... demons tend to have kinda large egos...
