Loyalist Night Lords?


Recommended Posts

The Night Lords didn't fire on other 8th legion Astartes Ships in Massacre. They fired on their human auxiliary Allies. They didn't trust them to keep the secret. All astartes ships jumped to Isstvan. The Night Lords are too paranoid to have overt or large cadres of "Loyalists." That said, there could be small pockets who slipped away. Likely even. They could have fought on as Blackshields, or just joined other groups. Some could have even left the Legion for other traitors.

 

The last thing I'll say on the Space Sharks/Raven Guard/Night Lord thing: The Pale Nomads, and Ashen Claws are separate, mostly-Terran chapters of Raven Guard. Pale Nomads are the most likely source for Space Sharks. The Ashen Claws unless they are retconned are rumored to still have a pocket empire in the Ghoul Stars. So if they spawned the Space Sharks, it would be strange to not be pursuing their renegade brethren.

 

There is also at least one Night Lord statue on Titan. It used to point to being Sevatar, but that has been disproven. So we know at least one loyal Night Lord helps to found the Grey Knights. Likely the one earlier mentioned by others in this thread. The Librarian, who was in the prison sinks.

There also might be a segment that would delight in bringing the other Legions to "justice". They wouldn't be fighting out of loyalty per se but holding to their core legion's beliefs but mostly delighting that they can do it to other Astartes. Very much like an Alpha Legion reasoning.

There are very valid reasons to think the Carcharodons could descend from either chapter, Raven Guard or the Night Lords.

1. NL are not a chapter

 

2. I think the RG theory has a lot more support. The NL theory is much more speculative, e.g. Carcharadons are scary...so are NL
