Each night, the Ravenkeeper may assign one of its ravens to a player. The Ravenkeeper will learn if any of the players with ravens interact with each other.

The Ravenkeeper starts out with 1 raven for every 5 players in the game (rounded down). Each night, the Ravenkeeper may assign one raven to another player. Ravens can also be reassigned from one player to another (ravens that were assigned to dead players will immediately return to the Ravenkeeper upon the player's death). Assigning a raven is an immediate effect. Ravens not assigned to another player are considered to be assigned to the Ravenkeeper. During the night, the Ravenkeeper will be told when a player with a raven uses an action on another player with a raven. The Ravenkeeper will be told the names of both players, and who used the action, but not what sort of action was done. The Ravenkeeper is affected by redirections. If there are several Ravenkeepers, their ravens are separate.
