One step forward and many to go

[Corwin]

That Raven's Nest is his personal castle. I did a quick check about it and found out it had:

Spoiler: ShowHide

It's a castle of Yan-C-Bin, said to be guarded by giant ravens. These ravens are actually behemoth ravens, a type of overgrown ravens usually kept on the Prime. How he got so many is one of Creation's little mysteries, most likely a vanity project over a long time. You also recall the ravens are difficult to heal, healing fast and being hard to wound.

Beyond that it's full of evil air elementals and other servants of Yan-C-Bin, a fortified place hidden by an eternal swath of dark clouds.

I just want a good concept of what are behemoth ravens and how many there would likely be, and we're all good.

You'd know the general details of the behemoth template, go check that out in R&S. Short version: Superior fast healing, wounds that aren't serious heal instantly, lots of health and endurance, giant sized.

From the rumors you scrape up, it's generally thought to be a few dozen, though at least half of that are on a long-ranging patrol at any given time. However, that's not all. Powerful priests and sorcerers in the service of Yan-C-Bin ride the behemoth ravens on specially made thrones, overseeing that section of Air and raining spells down on those they battle. They are able to use the bulk of the behemoth ravens to give themselves a great deal of cover, making it extremely difficult to attack them.

In addition, the castle has the normal assortments of evil air elementals, a few bad djinn corrupted by Yan-C-Bin, his servants and clergy, some golems and likely worse surprises yet. It's noted Yan-C-Bin transfers forces around every so often, so current information on the exacts of who is within the fortress varies.
