The Nightravens were monsters that attacked people in flocks, picking their bones clean, but they fled from light. In the city of Gisoreux, there needed to be a torch outside every house, to be lit when the Nightravens came. However, the last flock was destroyed by Sir Thopas over five hundred years ago, so Gisoreux is full of torches that are never lit due to the law being obsolete but never amended by the nobility.[1a]
