About this episode
The episode covers the formation of the Raven Guard and the story of Corax.
On today’s cast we open up our coverage of the Raven Guard. Opening with the formation of the 19th legion and their actions during the Unification Wars. We then focus a bit on how the emperor used them to handle enemies that were utilizing warp powers he did not want exposed to other legions. From there we jump over to their actions with the Luna Wolves during the early days of the Great Crusade. And then we get over to the story of Corax, his arrival on Lysithea, and how he liberated it. We close out with the meeting of Corax and the Emperor and his joining with his legion.
