==Overview==
Of all the Knightly Houses in the [[Imperium]], House Raven is the largest by far. Indeed,Raven’s [[Knight]]s number in the hundreds, with dozens of households ready to answer thesummons of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] should they be called to war. Quite why there are somany Knight suits available to House Raven is something of a mystery. However, ancientrecords dating back to when their world, [[Kolossi]], was first settled refer to a piece of [[STC]]archeotech that long ago fell into disrepair and was lost. Whether this STC system andKolossi’s natural resources served as the perfect combination for producing Knight suits, or ifthe first human settlers merely prioritised the creation of Knight suits above all else, remainsan enigma.{{Fn|1a}}
House Raven first allied itself with the nearby [[Forge World]] of [[Metalica]] during the [[Great Crusade]]. Lord [[Gregor]], Raven’s ruler at that time, struck a deal with the [[Techpriest]]s of Metalica to ensurethat his house would have sufficient [[Sacristan]]s to service his full host of Knights.{{Fn|1a}}
One of Raven's first rulers, Lord [[Grunwald]], introduced a knightly elite within the House known as the '''Companions'''. This inner circle comprimses many of the most powerful and experienced knights of the house. The majority of them are [[Knight Errant]] and [[Knight Paladin]] pattern suits. Another sub-order within the House known as the '''Iron Brotherhood''' also exists, comprising of a skilled band of [[Sacristan]]s from Metalica.{{Fn|1b}}
