Hfran Morkai Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 *Stands at the flank of the Great Wolf's table with an axe through a belt loop and rhythmically pounding the floor with a carved staff* "Gather round brothers and let me tell a great tale, a tale of fire, murder-make and treason to our Legion. This is the tale of the fall of the Thousand Sons. Long was suspicion cast upon Magnus and his Legion Cries of vile Sorcery uttered from many trustworthy lips Yet none of us truly knew the dark dealings evolving Events that would shape the outcome of the Crusade At the meet of Nikea all of his ugly practices were forbade Yet it seems his unclean works forged on, in the shadows On Prospero a malign evil stirred, something went awry And the Red Giant revealed his treason to the All-Father The great Warmaster, Lupercal, gave us what all of us desired The opportunity to bring the Sorcerors to ruin for their deeds The Wolf-King’s fleet was assembled, ready for murder-make Our glorious Legion pushed on, eager to combat our brothers The bombs they fell, guaranteed to ruin the cities of the scholars Our time of glory was close at hand, Russ would have Magnus’ head The Legion embarked upon their drop-ships, ready to fight the foe Flames seared the sky, leaving bloody gashes, justice was near Once the ships reached the surface things became much clearer The Sorcerors had been well prepared, utilizing their arcane arts The might of their Legion was ready for us, a clash of true titans We had the might of the Allfather, guiding our blades and hearts true Brother fought battle-brother in the blood-slicked streets of Prospero The fury of blade versus warp-spawned powers, so many warriors fell Though slowly the righteous forged on, driven on by the promise of glory Custodes and the Silent Sisters offering aid to the raw force of the Wolves The Wolf King confronted Magnus upon the causeway, the final confrontation It stretched for what felt like an eternity, both mighty and prideful combatants Though the stalemate could not continue, one of the magnificent titans had to fall Russ gained an advantage and broke the Crimson King, the traitor over his knee like a twig After Magnus’ downfall the Thousand Sons fled the invading forces, routed they were Only after the fight was long won and the celebrations begun did we learn the truth We had been betrayed by one soul we trusted, Lupercal had betrayed everyone There was little glory to be had from the fall of Prospero, we were pawns in a cruel game So my brothers, this is a cautionary tale, do not take authority for their word. They often have their own agendas, hidden behind a mask of innocence. It led us to a great mistake once before, one that altered the galaxy. Do not be afraid to take up your axe and refuse to serve anyone who makes an objectionable request, it is your right as a son of Russ. FOR THE WOLFTIME!!"

ulrak Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 A small part of the saga of the wolf king in the socerers shadow The worlocks looked up with faces pale The wolf kings pods rained down like hail A mighty force that could not fail The furious wolf all fangs and tail They knew the wolf king would prevail A mighty warrior all clad in mail There was no defence he could not scale No treacherous swine he could not gaol The worlocks began to weep and wail At that moment their spirits fail Once our brothers now meek and frail The cost to them for their betrayal A coming storm no ship could sail The wolf kings speartip too impale A brothers words all false and stale To stand against us with no avail With stomachs full of meat and ale The space wolves landed to assail The one eyed traitor with tooth and nail And in this task we did not fail One eye fled into the socerers veil His trechery on the grandest scale Along the chaos paths they trail Foul deeds and magiks they did entail destruction on a planetary scale Their foul magiks we did curtail The plans of traitors we did derail And sent them all into the veil Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193990-the-breaking-of-the-crimson-king/#findComment-2306145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
