TrajantheGreat Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Theoderaf would not push for a Warmaster, but he wouldn't have any arguments against it.

simison Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 One other thing we need to be working on is the discovery order.As usual, I claim the second spot for Alexandros.

Darkcommander Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I'll go with a middle-spot and say 9th for discovery order. In terms of campaigns and legion placement within the galaxy I'm still deciding, but I think it'd be worth collaberating with one or two other legions to support their initial efforts in the GC while the Monastic Ascendants take their time with the 'slow-roll planetary conquest' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361564-new-legions/page/3/#findComment-5475563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrajantheGreat Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Theoderaf will probably be one of the first, since his homeworld is around the same distance from Terra as Delos. I don't mind which exact position he's in though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361564-new-legions/page/3/#findComment-5475565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolfguard Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Would it be too generic for Araphel to be found first if he's from the first legion? aha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361564-new-legions/page/3/#findComment-5475573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

simison Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 In regards to Ullanor, we have five volunteers. Since only 3 were involved in canon, I am going to insist only 4 participate. Note, that means the lion’s share of the legion was deployed and led by their Primarch. Volunteers: Eagle Guard - Romulus Godslayers - Koschei IronCrow’s legion Iron Revenants- Araphel And Blind has downgraded the Alabaster Order having a smaller presence. Am I missing anyone?

simison Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 One last chance! Anyone who is interested in creating their own legion, now is the time to speak up. We will be wrapping up recruitment within a week and completing our roster.

simison Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Alternate name for the War of the Eightfold Path: The Five Ruins. This nickname is a reference to the fact that there are five waves of everything going wrong. Five isn't set in the stone, but I'm not seeing a lot of pushback to the idea. So, here's a vague outline to the entire thing. The First Ruin - The gradual tension of the Emperor's absence sets the stage. Chaos has begun its infiltration of several of the legions with varying degrees of success, but much of it is taking place in dark corridors and hidden rooms. Ironically, it is not a legion under the influence of Chaos that breaks the fragile stability, but one of the Imperium's fabled supporters. Araphel, Lord of the First Legion, is invited to a secret meeting on Keld'abe, homeworld of the Ash-Blooded and his Shadow Warriors legion. Unknown to Araphel, the Ash-Blooded is preparing to propose Araphel be nominated as a successor emperor. Unknown to the Ash-Blooded, his First Captain, Ka'rta, is a secret disciple of Chaos. Betraying his Primarch, the Ka'rta reveals and misrepresents the degree of corruption churning within the Shadow Warriors. Shocked and left little time to react, Araphel is able to confirm Ka'rta's accusations. Believing only a strong and unyielding response is necessary to stop the corruption, Araphel orders the destruction of Keld'abe and the Shadow Warriors. Caught off-guard, the Ash-Blooded and the Shadow Warriors are soundly defeated but are able to avoid a complete purge with the last-minute interception by the Sky Reavers. Despite Araphel's good intentions, the day-long incident sends shockwaves throughout the Imperium. In addition to the political ramifications, the military perspective is blunt. The Imperium now has one less legion to call upon to defend its straining borders. The Second Ruin There are currently two suggested scenarios for this wave. First idea is for the Tzeentch legion, the Riven, to make their move. Their purpose is to further undermine the Imperium from within with their Primarch becoming the first true Daemon Primarch. Their move is made in conjunction with a mortal dissident faction and timed as the Ullanor Orks make a strong push against the Shield Worlds. Second suggestion is that this is when the Separatists, as a group, make their move for independence. Could be a reaction against Araphel's destruction of Keld'abe. The Third Ruin This is the first possibility of the Nightmare Wave. The Nightmare Wave will see the greatest surge of Chaos supporters, and the death of the double eagle. This is when the Mechanicum breaks with the Imperium, leading to conflict throughout the whole galaxy. Terra itself becomes threatened during this wave. The Fourth Ruin The other possibility of the Nightmare Wave. However, if not. This could be a good opening for the Sky Reavers to fall to corruption, happening in tandem with the discovery of the Necrons. Unwittingly activating a Tomb World causes them to reappear and wreak havoc. However, despite initial gains, the Imperium is able to contain them and prevent them from activating other Tomb Worlds, limiting the Necrons' influence. This could be also when the Red Eyes fall to Khorne's embrace. The Fifth Ruin This could feature the Shattering of the Separatists. This is when the Alabaster Order succumbs to Nurgle, and the Horned Primarch declaring he will no longer suffer any of his brothers or powers. The Horned Primarch will take his legion and his sizable support among the abhumans and retreat to the Ghoul Stars to establish his own independent empire, far from the rest of humanity. -- And those are the possibilities. Only the First Ruin is really set in stone. We could either shorten the number of waves/Ruins, but I would have no less than three and no more than five. Each Ruin should only be separated from each other by a few years, so that they can still be linked into one overall conflict. Thoughts?

simison Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 The Captain-General Although the Emperor's disappearance eclipsed all, his loss was not the only blow to the Imperium. Aboard the Imperator Somnium were hundreds of fabled warriors whose loss the Imperium would come to regret in the wars to come. Among the Custodians, without a doubt the greatest loss was of Captain-General Valdor. Long seen as a pillar of Imperial majesty and might, his disappearance would cost the Custodians much. However, the Custodians would not allow themselves to mire in mourning. A new Captain-General was swiftly chosen. Tribune Ra Endymion would now assume Valdor's place, until the latter's reappearance. In truth, this promotion was unwanted. The Captain-General's duties would force the Custodian to remain in the center of Imperial power and politics. Meanwhile, Tribune Kadai Vilaccan would lead the primary effort to find their lost liege-lord, taking over half of the Custodians with him in his search for the lost Master of Mankind. Until their success, Captain-General Endymion would ensure Terra and the Imperium would stand, ever vigilant for the Emperor's return.

TrajantheGreat Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I believe the WoP were 103,050, but I don't know if that factors in any changes to the General's discovery date. Wait what date are we setting for the sizes?

simison Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 This was answered on Discord, but the Emperor disappears in 000.M31. Truly, a cursed year. The start year is 800.M30.

simison Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 As I suggested on Discord, the Fourth Ruin should be the Nightmare Wave. Not only from the perspective of numerology, but it gives us more time to build the threat and corrupt the affected Legions/Primarchs. Any opposed?
