TheWoWDBSpoken dialog when quest is turned in:
Ka'alu: I have returned!
High Ravenspeaker Krikka: The Raven Mother! We humbly welcome you back to the nest! Your presence brings joy to our hearts!
Ka'alu: I sense one who is not of the flock. Come closer, child.
Ka'alu: You there, scrollkeeper. You are not of the ravenspeakers. Why do you stand before me?
Reshad: Great Ka'alu, the tales of your majesty are woefully inadequate.
Ka'alu: You flatter me, but darkness weighs upon your thoughts - speak, child.
Reshad: The Adherents of Rukhmar wield a great power. They would use it to burn us all, including your ravens.
Ka'alu: They also subjugate my children, forcing them to fight and die. What might you have us do?
Reshad: Great mother, in the name of Anzu we ask humbly that you lend us your wings.
Reshad: With your help, we can extinguish the light which sets the sky ablaze.
Ka'alu: Anzu always was meddling in the affairs of mortals. One would think I might learn from his mistakes.
Ka'alu: Very well, scrollkeeper. My flock is yours.

At the completion of the event, Vivianne says, "Dark Lady save us all... it's worse than I thought." Looks like her opinion of the ceremony matches mine: these birds are pretty goofy necromancers.

Description
All is now in its place to begin the ritual of calling that will bring the Raven Mother back to the nest. You have fulfilled all of the tests we have put before you so it is only fitting that you join with us and participate in the ritual. Soon the Raven Mother herself will appear before us! Oh my feathers are tingling in excitement! Speak to me again when you are ready.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Our dear brother Sekara went to the Ravenskar with some of the flock to enact the great ritual of purification. No one has been sent back to the nest for supplies in the past day; caught up in prayers I suppose.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The High Ravenspeaker
Yes, I knew you were worthy! The Writ of Faith says that great doubt will come in time of crisis but one must put their trust in the Raven Mother and all will be as it should! Come, come, we must go to the High Ravenspeaker!
