House Ravnos, is not like most or rather any other Knight Houses. Discovered on distant rim of the already isolated Sanguis Vitam Sector mere decades ago, they are believed to have settled the region during the Dark Age of Technology to establish a human presence against hostile Xenos, particularly Orks as the tale of a legendary knight in their past can attest. Their domain is the Arkhan system or more specifically the Desert Feral World; Arkhan VI, a primitive world that they do not even try to pretend to rule preferring to instead live within their vast fortresses wherein they worship the Omnissiah amongst other activities. What makes this House strange by the standards of Knight Houses is several fold; the first is their method of inheritance; it is up to those who are eligible to vote on who may inherit with the chosen starting with the eldest regardless of gender. This strange method could be explained by their seeming carelessness and nonchalant attitude towards any form of ceremony, the second is that it is enforced through the values they hold on honor and oaths; stronger than is common on a typical Knight World.
In battle the Knights of House Ravnos are a devastating force; skilled in Planetary Assaults they leverage tactical and command flexibility, their mighty Cerastus-Type Knights and truly massive numbers to destroy their foes. They are nonetheless incredibly dangerous for it is not the Mechanicus or the Emperor that holds their loyalty but rather... the renegade Void Hydra Astartes Chapter providing them skilled Super-Heavy assault units on their raids. This has earned them a foe in the Celestial Axes who have tried to oppose them in the past.
Well its done.
