===Post-Heresy===
The Ravenspire is still the home of the [[Raven Guard]] chapter and while indomitable in its defenses has reduced in splendor. now seldom harbour
more than a few hundred. Whole sectionsof the Ravenspire lie shrouded in dust, orelse are sealed away, patrolled only by robedservitors whose bionic limbs scrape throughthe corridors like a warrior’s death rattle. However the Raven Guard care little for pomp and glamour, and the fortress is still fully functional.{{Fn|2}}
At the end of the 41st Millennium, the Ravenspire is about to be besieged with the rest of [[Deliverance]] by [[Waaagh! Garaghak]].
==Notable Locations==
*'''The Eyrie''' - The tallest tower of the Ravenspire, it was once the roost of [[Corax]] himself. The stasis fields of the Eyrie are only deactivated during times of grave emergency, when members of the Chapter hope to communicate with the spirit of Corax. . Of what guidance they do receive, no supplicant speaks. Nor do they recountthe contents of the parchments scatteredabout the Eyrie’s main chamber, sayingonly that they are inked with a thick blackscrawl that becomes increasingly illegibleas the verses themselves grow less coherentin meaning.{{Fn|2}}*The '''Forbidden Apothecarion''' - A vault that exists beneath the Ravenspire, secret from all save a few venerable battle-brothers. Access to the vault is forbidden save on order by the [[Chapter Master]]. y. It was here that Corax’sattempts to expedite the regrowth of hisshattered Legion reached their full horror, birthing mutated abominations bereftof reason. When the Primarch at lastrealised the terrible depths of his hubris, heordered the Apothecarion abandoned andforbade all further experimentation. Thenhe entered its forbidden reaches alone, and personally brought the Emperor’sJudgement to each and every twistedfailure therein. While the vault has since been cleansed and purged, it is said the spirit of the Primarch's deeds still echo within. nOn Farmoon Night, when Deliverance reachesits yearly apogee over [[Kiavahr]], bestialhowls echo through the tunnels of the oldApothecarion, and Veterans of the RavenGuard 1st Company guard its doors.{{Fn|2}}
