"The Elder Raven truly has a unique talent for reading the atmosphere," said Soren, his voice filled with genuine respect. After all, the man known as the Elder Raven belonged to the same generation as the leader of the Wolf clan two generations ago.
At the same time, it was the Elder Raven who, for decades, had maintained the balance between the three clans and the Bearbreakers, preventing Soren from suppressing the other two clans after he advanced to the sixth degree. Even after the formation of the four-clan alliance, he actively thwarted any clan's attempts to dominate the others and skillfully deflected the hostility his actions caused. However, the Elder Raven had never imagined that the very balance he had established would drive someone like Soren to join Hvítreiðr to disrupt it.
