Will asked Robin Sloan:

Why did you name your anti-villain "Corvina"?

Robin Sloan This is a good question! There was an early draft of Penumbra that featured references to the lost library of Matthias Corvinus, the Raven King -- a real thing, a real historical figure. It was all a bit too much, in the end, but I did like that "Corvinus" a lotâ€¦Â and so it became "Corvina"!
