	In 5th edition, she shows up as a possible [[Warlock]] Patron in a UA article. Later she returns in the [[splatbook]] ''Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes'', which heavily revises her backstory. In this new 5e lore, she was a beloved [[elf]] [[wizard]]-queen who led her own faction of elves who chose to follow neither [[Lolth]] or [[Corellon]] during the civil war that sundered the elves and the [[drow]]. She attempted to ascend to godhood so that she could convince Lolth and Corellon to stop fighting, but the ritual was sabotaged by some asshole wizards seeking to steal her power [[Grimdark\|and she became a dark phantom with a hunger for collecting knowledge and memories to keep herself from unraveling completely.]] The wizards who fucked things up for her were transformed into monsters called <s>skeksis</s> [[nagpa]]s. The Raven Queen now resides in the Fortress of Memories in the [[Shadowfell]] with her Shadar-kai servants and her collection of souls and memories, presumably doing everything she can to slow her downward spiral into complete madness.

	Forget about all that if your campaign is set in the world of [[Exandria]], though. Explorer's Guide to Wildemount pretty much resets the Raven Queen to her 4E lore.		Forget about all that if your campaign is set in the world of [[Exandria]], though. The Explorer's Guide to Wildemount pretty much resets the Raven Queen to her 4E lore. It also grants her a poetic title, "the Matron of Death." This is slightly altered from the title used in Critical Role proper and their original 2017 (unofficial) sourcebook, where she's called "the Matron of Ravens." Presumably, EGtW being an official 5e sourcebook allowed them to use the Raven Queen's actual name alongside her Exandrian title, thus rendering "The Raven Queen, the Matron of Ravens" clunky and redundant. Supporting evidence for this is found in CR's 2021 update of their 2017 sourcebook, where her name is again reverted to "the Matron of Ravens"
