House Raven

House Raven is a Loyalist Imperial Knight House aligned with the Adeptus Mechanicus. House Raven is the largest of the knightly houses, with many hundreds of Imperial Knights at its disposal. The heraldry of this ancient house proudly displays their allegiance to the Adeptus Mechanicus, for they have been allied to the forge world of Metalica for over ten millennia. The bond between House Raven and their associated forge world is particularly strong and mutually beneficial - Kolossi's Sacristans are highly trained and the strength of Legio Metalica is greatly bolstered by House Raven's knightly host.

Notable Campaigns

 * Slaughter on the Fireplains (246.M41) - Knights of House Raven crush Waaagh! Smogbelcha on Voth amid geysers of geothermal flame, despite suffering heavy losses of their own.
 * The Battle of Burning Skies (998.M41) - A tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan falls upon the agri-world of Eireius, xenos bio-horrors rampaging across its floating jungles and vapour islands. A detachment of House Raven Knights are the first Imperial reinforcements to reach the planet, rallying the beleaguered defenders around the towering Eirebian spire-cities. In the micro-gravity of Eireius the Knights leap hundreds of metres from one spire to the next, their guns hammering Harpies and Hive Crones from the sky. Even the might of the Imperial Knights cannot save the planet, although their bravery buys time for its population to escape into the void.

House Arms
The crest of House Raven depicts their colossal adamantium-clad stronghold, the Keep Inviolate. Not only is this magnificent structure a mighty fortress, but is also the capital city of Kolossi. There are few fortifications in the Imperium besides the Emperor's Palace and the Fang on Fenris that are as impressive to behold. So does Raven's crest depict its greatness, their house icon a symbolic pillar of strength that bears the cog of the Adeptus Mechanicus, for they can field enough Knights to rival the power of a Titan Legion.
