    A Massive thank you to @AltrusianGraceMedia for bringing to life 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe. A lot of research was needed on this one and It turned out better than I expected.

      Corax can see through illusion and the Lion is almost entirely impervious to warp powers, so they have more or less have two different methods of seeing the Emperor as he is.
      As the Emperor says, he has no true face, but those inner "faces" he wears (I imagine they are the fragments of the individual psykers/shamans who merged their souls together to create him) are still veiled behind the usually overwhelming aura of power he projects: the massive golden warrior king, projected around the Christ like figure in white/silver robes.

    Corvus and the Emperor had a strong connection to each other, and no doubt that they were both the Light and Dark. Neither were are good or evil, but both needed to each other for the light to shine brighter and darken the shadows. Perhaps the Emperor could relate to Corvus need for justice and to destroy oppression that mankind desperately needed after the Age of Strife, and perhaps the Emperor saw a younger version of himself within Corvus.

      He desired peace above all, when the emperor asked him to join the imperium his only request was that he bring peace to kiavahr and deliverence, to which the emperor replied he could bring order but peace was another thing entirely. Makes a lot more sense that he was willing to do all the evils of the great crusade when you look at it through this lens. The emperors dream would bring about true peace not order. Their dreams were the same. That is also why i believe they got along so well. It also explains his true rage at his brothers for betraying the imperium, explained by arghal tal as even more frightening than the demons of the warp themselves, more pure, "no it was not rage at all, this was wrath in physical form."

Am willing to bet that Corvus will be the first to realize that a Primarch was designed to switch between a physical and warp form for war on either front. Most other Primarchs handicap themselves by choosing a side. This is based off the speculation that all Primarchs are warp-born souls of ancient human myths given physical form by the Emperor's hand.

      Yeah, mate. Navar Hef is such a great and tragic hero. He’s so proud and full of hope when first getting his geneseed and Astartes organs, and training and learning Corax’s Axioms. And it’s like the rug just gets pulled out from under him. The way he stays true and devoted to the Legion and his gene father, and just keeps on doing his duty despite the difficulties caused by the mutations is commendable. And I love that the other Raven Guard don’t treat them any differently. It’s sad that he went the way he did, but there was no other way- and I believe that it was right that Corax was the one to end them. It was horrific and depressing and unfair, but it was the right thing to do, and even though it came close to breaking Corax’s soul, it was ultimately an act of mercy. I was just surprised that he didn’t put all of their future efforts into destroying the Alpha Legion for their sabotage and treachery. It will be great to see him return from the Eye Of Terror, wreaking havoc and sowing terror amongst the traitors, and avenging his sons. Hopefully it happens soon.

    There were plenty of Primarchs that had toxic relationships with him, and the Emperor was absolutely a 'big picture' guy that would sacrifice anyone for his goals, but he was still a man, impossibly more of man than any other, and that meant he had emotions and feelings far beyond the average too.

      Sadly they do not get much love from GW and the Fans
      RG fans are few
      It does not help that there lore can be summed up by
      "They keep losing with little to show for it"
      If the IF or UM suffer a great loss it comes with a great gain but the RG just lose straight up
      Then the times they do win its in these shadowy engagements and compared to the big fights and duels these types of engagements are not hyped up as much and that being the RGs staple they really suffer because of it.
      Also Corvus is a character a lot of people seem to not know much off
      People are surprised when they learn that they are most likely the second nicest legion after the Salamanders when it comes to the average imperial citizen and that extends to Corvus. he cared about humanity more than most of his brothers
      He is also a great craftsmen ,the RGS most prized artefacts are Power claws crafted by Corvus himself
      He is a brilliant strategist
      He also had one of the FEW positive relationships with the Emperor

    I am so looking forward to this- thank you in advance. I get really tired of the memes, the jokes, and all the other nonsense that people put out about Corax- all due to their not understanding just what he was about. Disrespect and disregard, and then they find out just how amazing he is, and not the stupid emo kid they assume him to be. It’s satisfying to see their assumptions smashed aside by a video such as this- and I really appreciate you doing all of this work to show people how great Corax and the Raven Guard Legion are. Thank you. (Also- so surprised to see one of my favorite channels getting some playtime in here- Altrusian Grace Media is so good- I never expected these two channels I love to intersect!

      Aye, the fandom is often so insufferable. Especially for it's self-flanderization of characters, events or warhammer concepts. They take memes and headcanons as canon lore and go absolutely bonkers with it without any question or searching for validity, screeching this crap everywhere the moment said "warhammer meme lolz" thing is mentioned. They repeat the same thing over and over again. They are worse then the "arrow to the knee" Skyrim folks.
      "Dark armor, dark hair and bright skin? Terse and somber? Emoooooooooo!!!" I grew up in the dark alternative scene(Goth, EDM, Metal, Emo...). I don't get these people who make these simplistic connections. As far as I know Corax even hated poetry, yet the Ravens are getting depicted by fans as if they are constantly quoting hamlet and such. Let's be honest here. The RG are one of the legions who would most likely hate poetry and old fashioned plays, for they would perceive it as saccharine and unnecessarily wordy and flowery.

      As for the Raven guard not liking poetry I can't speak as I haven't read much 30k stuff (but I doubt it) they seem to have more of that Poe-esq haunting determination that keeps you up at night contemplating how to kill someone and less of the poetry itself

    Great video @Amber King! My highest compliments to you for another amazing in-depth video. Also, my highest praises to your fabulous voice actors Vox, Liam, and Curtis. You guys really pour the emotion into the defining scenes of the Heresy and this is coming from somebody who has practically devoted to most of the Heresy series haha. I think it would be a crime if you guys were not involved in a future Heresy TV show.
    Though Corvus is not my top loyalist primarch (that honour goes to the Lion), his arc in the Heresy is so heartbreaking which I feel some people miss out on cos of the memes depicting him as edgy. With Corvus, you go from a guy who firmly believed in the Imperial Truth to a man bereft of hope and forced to put down his mutated sons. That is some messed up stuff and that ending in Weregeld finished Corvus' arc beautifully.
    I hope we get a fleshed out chronicle of Corvus hunting Lorgar. Or alternatively, a Lorgar return which will inevitably trigger a Corvus return.

      For one, he's one of the only Ones in the imperium prior to the heresy who knew about Chaos. He was the emperor's confidant and counsel, meaning he would most certainly be aware if the emperor decided to tell a primarch. He also says "we" only let one primarch know.
      There is also no reason at all for him to lie here, as it does nothing positive and possibly would do something negative in making sanguinus, rogal, and Khan distrust him.
      Also I don't think corvus was emps most favored son. Lorgar was said to look the "most" like, though since the emperor says in Deliverance lost he has looked like a lot of things maybe it's more accurate to say lorgar looks like him currently.
