==Overview==
In [[M24]], [[Alistar Raven]] laid the ambitious foundations of the [[Keep Inviolate]] on the world of [[Kolossi]]. So large did it loom in the minds of the house’s Nobles that it would form the basis of their heraldry. For millennia after, each new ruler of House Raven added to this massive adamantium-plated edifice, and it now stands amongst the greatest strongholds of the [[Imperium]]. In [[M28]], Lord [[Grunwald (House Raven)|Grunwald]] formed the honourable Order of Companions. Its first leader was Lady [[Syrtana Raven]], who saved Grunwald’s life during the [[Kortasa Blitz]]. Shortly after, the crossed blades symbol of the order was incorporated into House Raven’s crest. To this day, the most meritorious of Raven’s Nobles endure the Trial of the Companions to join the order. Three millennia later, Lord [[Gregor]] met the first emissaries from [[Metalica]] and swore enduring oaths of alliance with the [[Mechanicum]]. In exchange for skilled [[Sacristan]]s, the Knights of House Raven would fight beside the [[Legio Metalica]]. Raven’s crest was modified in respect of those oaths, and the house’s strength grew under the forge world’s patronage.{{Fn|88a}}
Today 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 the summons of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] should they be called to war. Quite why there are so many Knight suits available to House Raven is something of a mystery. However, ancient records 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 and Kolossi’s natural resources served as the perfect combination for producing Knight suits, or if the first human settlers merely prioritised the creation of Knight suits above all else, remains an enigma.{{Fn|1a}}
