Her legend dates back to the founding of Raven’s Nest, which was established as a refuge during the War of the Empires. Many of the settlement’s traditions are rooted in her teachings, emphasizing harmony with nature and the responsibility of protecting the land and its inhabitants.

Though Saint Nerva is primarily worshiped in Raven’s Nest, she is recognized across Directionland as a minor but significant figure within the Faith of the Four. Some interpretations of her legend suggest she was not merely a mortal saint but an embodiment of Odivia’s compassion, sent to guide the lost and suffering of Mundus.
