[[Summary::Madam Crow is as mysterious as she is eccentric. With the exception of a handful of beings, her existence was not even known before she founded The Maidens of the Crow. ]] Madam Crow is depicted as she was before her ascension, a small and slender Caucasian human female with long silvery hair, striking beauty, and two crow-like wings protruding from her back. She manifests herself as a crow. Even before she became a goddess, Madam Crow was fiercely protective of The Maidens of the Crow; now, with her newfound power, she meets any and all hostility towards the Maidens with swift and unforgiving vengeance. Both her past and real name are unknown. 
=== Dogma ===
Madam Crow teaches that only through complete understanding of how magic works in all its forms, coupled with detachment from the world, can one achieve perfection. She encourages her followers to create new spells, seek knowledge wherever it can be found, and to guard their secrets so the unworthy can’t find them. Madam Crow detests males with extreme prejudism, and the attitude of her followers reflects this. While she teaches isolationism, at the same time, she teaches her followers to rely on each other, and only each other; at the same time, she teaches that, ultimately, your greatest ally is yourself. 
=== Clergy, Temples, and Religious Practices===
Madam Crow’s Clergy does not build grand temples in her honor, preferring simple coves with an altar and statue instead. This suits Madam Crow, who prefers to work in secret. Her holy days are on the full moons. Nothing else is known about how this religion is structured. The only ones who known are The Maidens of the Crow, and they never surrender their secrets willingly.

===The Cauldron===
Madam Crow’s home plane is known as The Cauldron. It is located in Mungoth, the third layer of Gehenna. The plane consists of a mass of land covered in a vast forest with Deep Night, a dark and ominous fortress, at the center, where Madam Crow has made her home. Cauldrons can be found scattered all over the forest, each brewing with its own spell. Petitioners can be found at many of these Cauldrons. The land gradually rises the further away you are from Deep Night until eventually becoming a sheer cliff. This land mass is shaped in the form of a cauldron, and is surrounded by a never-ending swirl of mist and darkness. High above Deep Night is a pale orb of light very similar to moonlight. This orb is the main source of light for this plane. The entire plane slowly orbits the central volcano in Mungoth, but it is situated several miles out and up.
