Nana Morri and The Matron of Ravens
So we’ve all already seen the similarities between Nana Morri and The Morrigan from Irish Celtic Mythology. I only know a smidge about this goddess, so I wanted to do a bit more reading on her, mostly so I’d feel fully informed for when we get to see her more next week.
Upon my first search of her and scrolling through images to get a sense of visuals, I can’t stop thinking of the Matron of Ravens.
“The Morrígan was an Irish goddess of death, destiny, and battle. A trio of sisters who could take the form of a single goddess, she was the keeper of fate and a purveyor of prophecy.” (from Mythopedia here)
So The Morrigan is a shapeshifter; she can appear as three individual sisters who can act independently or appear as one goddess. She commonly takes the form of a crow/raven, a young maiden, or an old woman.
This will sound wild, but what if Nana Morri, who has two faces and two voices, and the Matron of Ravens are altogether an Exandrian version of The Morrigan?
Could Nana Morri and the Matron somehow be the same goddess but in split bodies and across different planes? Sure it may not make a ton of sense, especially rules-wise, but the Matron is a god, after all.
This could tie into Morrighan Ferus’s destruction of the Matron of Ravens bust in EXU Kymal.
The Morrigan is also known for foretelling doom, death, or victory in a battle. The Matron of Ravens foresaw the Calamity and the destruction it would rain down.
We know the Matron was a high-level Wizard who developed “rites” to ascend into godhood. What if she had cast the 8th level necromancy spell, Clone, before she performed these rites as like a failsafe? Did the Matron retain her mortal soul when she ascended? Or did her soul still return to the clone? Maybe her soul split? What if that clone became the Hag we know as Morrigan Calloway, The Fatestitcher? It’s a wild thought, I know. But it’s a fun thought nonetheless.
Idk how to fully explain my thought process, and it’s a super wild theory, but still. I feel like there’s more to explore here, but I will wait until we know more about Nana Morri next week to keep digging.

I’m sorry but bato saying ara “had some issues” is such an understatement, why does this man have such a comedic thought process. he really said I do not want to touch This with a 10ft pole

loving bato in his damage control era
