Changes

Meanwhile, [[Corvus Corax]] had assembled the remains of his [[Raven Guard]] at the [[Rosario System]] and was debating over what actions to take. Some within his Legion wished to go to [[Terra]], while Corax himself wished to remain in Horus' rear and conduct a guerrilla war, believing his legion, still devastated from the [[Drop Site Massacre]], could serve a better purpose in this role. After [[Marcus Valerius]] had yet another vision, this time of the plight of the Space Wolves, and when it was revealed to Corax became determined , the thought of having been manipulated throughout all these years by mysterious visions broke him. In a fit of rage he demanded to be left alone. He vowed to be no longer be manipulated and to commit suicide and die with a clean slate. When he reemerged, he had all elements of his army he considered outsiders either dispatched to [[Terra]] or to lead the [[Beta-Garmon]], until only his Raven Guard remained. He was determined to save his brother Legion the Space Wolves, to die while doing so, and set course for Yarantto take the [[Raptor (Raven Guard)|Raptors]] with him into death.{{Fn|1}}

After arriving in the Yarant System, Corax was able to link up with scattered remnants of the Space Wolves fleet led by [[Bjorn]]. Using surprise and [[Mor Deythan]] and [[Dark Fury]] squads to eliminate key enemy officers, Corax was able to break the traitor's fleet blockade and reach the besieged Space Wolves final position on Yarant III. There, Corax encountered the wounded Leman Russ, who briefly came out of his comatose state to greet Corax and give the [[Spear of Russ]] to Bjorn. The [[Space Wolves]] refused to retreat, because they saw it as somehow betraying destiny. With the traitors closing in, Corax ordered his legion save the [[Raptor (Raven Guard)|Raptors]] escape Yarant while he and Bjorn led a final suicidal charge on the traitor lines.{{Fn|1}}

In a final desperate charge, Corax led a portion of his Raven Guard and the Space Wolves against the traitor lines. They pushed deep through their ranks, forcing Abaddon to commit his Sons of Horus reserves. However seeing the Eye of Horus on the traitors banners reminded Corax of the vanity and arrogance of the [[Warmaster]]. Horus still lived and still threatened Terra. Corax came to the understanding that it was not his right to choose when he would die as he was a servant of the [[Emperor]], that was the sort of arrogance that had led Horus to betrayal. Changing his mind, Corax was able to convince a reluctant Bjorn to abandon their last stand and instead evacuate Yarant. The mutated Raptors, particularly had been held back the mutated warriorswhole time as a last reserve and were now denied battle, fell which drove them into fury and depression as they would not die this day and end their misery.{{Fn|1}}

After the battle, Leman Russ remained comatoseand the Space Wolves Legion had suffered truly catastrophic losses. Corax however parted ways with the Space Wolves, stating that he would continue to resist Horus from the shadows as he marched on Terra.{{Fn|1}}
