The Dark Knights Founding: Second Founding (M31) Primarch: Corvus Corax Chapter Master: - needs to be named - Homeworld: Yamatar Fortress-Monastery: - needs to be named - Known Descendants: Storm Riders (nearly extinct; most of the chapter went renegade and became the Nightmarchers) Colours: Dark Green, Red and Brass Speciality: Guerilla warfare, lightning attacks into striking at the weak spot, spreading anarchy Battel Cry: In darkness we fight, from darkness we strike! The Dark Knighte are a successor chapter of the Raven Guard legion founded in the great second Founding in M31. Their origin lies In a former nomad predation fleet under the command of Vlad and Radu Lu'Carda. They were tasked by their Primarch Corvus Corax to suppot a chapter of the Word Bearers called "The Preachers of the Truth". The "Preachers of the Truth" were about to conquer the realm of Yamatar, a mighty and powerful empire located in the outer realms of Segmentum Obscurus. Unknown to the Raven Guard, the "Preachers of the truth", who were then corrupted by the ruinous powers of the dark gods, provoked the conflict and would try to persuade them to join their cause. Should they resist, they would be extinguished and their fleet adopted by the Word Bearers... +_+_+_+_+_+_+ unknown date, M32 Opening... Report to Inquisitor Torkadez Written by Veliar Kelborn My Lord, My name is Veliar Kelborn, one of the last Remebrancers of the great crusade. It is my self proclaimed duty to find out what happened to the 1987th expeditionary fleet in command of the Word Bearers and supported by the Raven Guard heading the realm of Yamatar. It is my assumption that the Astartes chapter called the Dark Knights may be thei descendants of the surviving Raven Guard forces. Therefore I will study the libraries of Yamatar Prime, homeworld of the Dark Knights and center of the yamatarian realm. Hopefully I even may have an audience with one of the Dark Knights aswell. I will let you know if I had found something. Maybe, just maybe my work will help to undo the distrust between them and the rest of our glory Empire. The Emperor protects!

As I don't have the necessary time and money to collect and paint miniatures (although I would like to), I will concentrate on their fluff and some stories. Maybe one of you will get as inspired as I was when I read Athrawes's Lost and Forgotten thread concerning his Lighting Bearers Legion. His work is really magnificent and I hope that I may scratch this kind of awesomeness. My first post here will be a summary of my done work. I will link the different posts here, so you don't have to read the whole thread if you don't want to. As for now that was all. I hope you enjoy reading. Don't hesitate to give feedback as I am looking for this to enhance the fluff and my work here. With kind regards, Kelborn PS: Don't be confused. I wanted to paste my previous first post into the second but I did it wrong and now it is gone...the very first post was about different type of scenarios concerning their heritage. I had three scenarios (loyal Night Lords; Night Lords + Raven Guard; only Raven Guard). After some rethinking I decided to go full Raven Guard as it would be easier to write and explain why they are like they am right now.
