Kasara Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Just to warn you, this is tremendously long. Fluff: In the beginning, their Lord who is Kasara began besiegement of the Tzeenchtian outpost. On his siege of the Tzeentchian Outpost, he killed the Radical Inquisitor who held dominion on the outpost. He took the hammer, expecting it to be a normal hammer. It spoke to him. "Forge a new destiny...carry me with you on your daemon purging quests...forge the blade which you carry unto death and with it, strike fear into the terror of those who oppose you." Suspecting it to be a daemonic entity, the thing sensed the Grey Knights shift in thoughts, drove his body into a killing frenzy, driving him into an area heavily populated by Tzeentchian Daemons. Within 5 minutes the daemons were all dead. "See how strong you have become? Let me guide you Kasara and show you how to kill more daemons than any man could ever kill. I will show you how to be seen by the Immortal Emperor and how to save your human race." Along with several thousands more intriguing ideas from the daemon bound entity, the Grand Master slew and banished several more Greater Daemons and Daemon Princes before slipping off the grid and forging his new weapon. By the time he had slain 19 daemon Princes and 13 Greater Daemons, the Daemon Weapon he had forged commanded him to find something more difficult to kill. The Hammer contained a Tzeentchian Daemon, which slowly but surely corrupted his mind. It started with leaving the Grey Knights, and then killing the crew of an imperial freighter and hijacking the freighter, took it to the Thousand Sons Chaos Space Marine Legion and gave it to Ahriman's Cabal. He killed five Imperial Governors without reason (they had been well-loved by the people) and killed off so much of the Sons of Saelonce (they had no clue that Kasara killed their chaplains and librarians and chapter master) that he had to transfer to chaos. He left the Grey Knights during a battle and made it look as if he had been killed. In the midst of this crisis, the chapter grieved over the loss of one of their best. He had been responsible for the banishing of close to 15 Greater Daemons and 23 Daemon Princes. After he fell from grace, he realized he was an "undiscovered fugitive on the run" believed to have been killed after the Battle of Palentire. He searched for the three weakest chapters he could find (well, the three which had suffered so many casualties that they would serve him easily). The three were the Moon Mourners, whose chapter had been nearly annihilated by Alpha Legion (they actually turned half-way through the heresy, but turned back to loyalist, but were still hunted by the Inquisition and the Alpha Legion for their betrayal), The Doom Kings (whose black carapace backfired and is causing the chapter to die) and the Sons of Saelonce. The Sons of Saelonce were a crusading chapter that had been fighting a losing war and had lost nearly 3/4 of their chapter in a single night of bloodshed and whose morale was nearly dead as their chapter masters. Their Chaplains and Librarians were mostly all dead or dying. Kasara promised the Moon Mourners "revenge for their fallen brethren", for the Doom Kings "eternal life and an end to their doomed existence and the Sons of Saelonce "power to defeat their enemies". Almost 100 years later, a new chapter (which was not permitted at all) appeared. Information from captured Space Marines of this chapter (noted as the Sons of Kasara) had their destiny forged as soon as he began his orations. His feats had inspired the rest of his "Sons" to follow him and his powerful oratory made him even more inspiring say records from prisoners. This chapter, seemingly led by the Grand Master Kasara attacked an Eldar Craftworld and totally decimated the Eldar. While although it relieved the Inquisitorial Fortress world of Toreq of the oppression of the Eldar Craftworld, they soon found themselves under massive siege from Kasara and his men and odd Wraithbone constructs. Appearing as Grey Knights, they teleported to the surface. It seemed like nearly 500 Grey Knights had been teleported. In a sudden wave, the world populace seemed to flood with panic and torrents of fear hit the cities of the world. Within hours, the planet had lain their weapons in front of Kasara, willing to fight and die in Kasara Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/81648-the-sons-of-kasara-final-draft/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
neosonichdghg Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 From what little I understand of Gray Knights, I don't think a daemon could so easily take over his body. They're supposed to be extremely resistant to such things. Also, I believe Wraithbone is very hard to work without Warsingers. Even the Eldar don't try to cut it, it's very tough stuff. If you could solve those problems, I like it. The slow corruption needs to have some mid stages, like him first killing daemons, then heretics, then borderline heritics, then incompetents, then imperfect servants, then loyalists. Each stage slowly desensitizes him to the slaughter of humans and the servants of the Emperor until he's just killing whatever the daemon tells him to. Just a suggestion, though, you don't really need it as the story is good already.

He attacked the Eldar Craftworld for no reason and he attacked Toreq because he needed weapons and armour. He gets a lot of stuff from the Iisvhaj and also the Iisvhaj know how to make things out of Wraithbone. I shoudl say this ahead of time. The Iisvhaj were once Eldar. They were almost consumed by the Warp, but they weren't and evolved with certain Tyranid DNA and began to mutate into what they are now. They would look very much like Protoss, but with massive exo-skeletons instead of armour.

Commissar Molotov Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 As per the Daemonhunters Codex, no Grey Knight has ever fallen to the depredations of Chaos. GW might leave blank spaces and grey areasin the fluff, but this is one they have very firmly defined in black and white. You get around it by saying your character faked his death, but the chapter would still want his body or the like.... ------------ I also find the sheer numbers of Greater Daemons and Daemon Princes your character finds to kill. Whatever the table-top version of 40k might have you believe, Daemon Princes are very, very rare. As are Greater Daemons. Not every army is headed by one. They are comparatively rare, and the chaos Gods do not give their gifts out without them being earnt. Followers of the Gods strive for a very long time to be elevated to the status of Daemon Prince. You might want to reduce the number of Greater Daemons and Daemon Princes your character killed. "and killed off so much of the Sons of Saelonce (they had no clue that Kasara killed their chaplains and librarians and chapter master) that he had to transfer to chaos." So you can only transfer to Chaos once you've achieved a kill-quota? After he fell from grace, he realized he was an "undiscovered fugitive on the run" believed to have been killed after the Battle of Palentire. He searched for the three weakest chapters he could find (well, the three which had suffered so many casualties that they would serve him easily). The three were the Moon Mourners, whose chapter had been nearly annihilated by Alpha Legion (they actually turned half-way through the heresy, but turned back to loyalist, but were still hunted by the Inquisition and the Alpha Legion for their betrayal), The Doom Kings (whose black carapace backfired and is causing the chapter to die) and the Sons of Saelonce.Why the mention of the Heresy? The Moon Mourners would not have been around at the Heresy. The Inquisition in its present state wasn't founded until after the heresy. Neither were the Grey Knights. I'd also drop the idea of wraithbone constructs. That's the province of the Eldar, not traitor Grey Knights. Appearing as Grey Knights, they teleported to the surface.

Kasara Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I had considered just leaving it off after where the Daemon Weapon ordered him to find something more difficult to kill. But yes, the story could be better. I'll give it another shot. On his siege of the Tzeentchian Outpost, he killed the Radical Inquisitor Tannthias, whom held a mighty Daemonhammer with which he had smote his enemies for centuries with. Kasara, took the hammer, expecting it to be a normal hammer. It spoke to him. "Forge a new destiny...carry me with you on your daemon purging quests...forge the blade which you carry unto death and with it, strike fear into the terror of those who oppose you." Suspecting it to be a daemonic entity, the thing sensed the Grey Knights shift in thoughts, drove his body into a killing frenzy, driving him into an area heavily populated by Tzeentchian Daemons. Within 5 minutes the daemons were all dead. "See how strong you have become? Let me guide you Kasara and show you how to kill more daemons than any man could ever kill.

Along with several thousands more intriguing ideas from the daemon bound entity, the Grand Master slew and banished several more Greater Daemons and Daemon Princes before slipping off the grid and forging his new weapon. By the time he had slain 9 daemon Princes and 5 Greater Daemons, the Daemon Weapon he had forged commanded him to find something more difficult to kill. The Hammer contained a Tzeentchian Daemon, which slowly but surely corrupted his mind. He left the Grey Knights during a battle and made it look as if he had been killed by a Lascannon shot. In the midst of this crisis, the chapter grieved over the loss of one of their best. He had been responsible for the banishing of close to 6 Greater Daemons and 12 Daemon Princes. After he fell from grace, he realized he was an "undiscovered fugitive on the run" believed to have been killed after the Battle of Palentire. He searched for the three weakest chapters he could find (well, the three which had suffered so many casualties that they would serve him easily). The three were the Moon Mourners, whose chapter had been nearly annihilated by Alpha Legion, The Doom Kings, whose black carapace backfired and is causing the chapter to die and the Sons of Saelonce. The Sons of Saelonce were a crusading chapter that had been fighting a losing war and had lost nearly 3/4 of their chapter in a single night of bloodshed and whose morale was nearly dead as their chapter masters. Their Chaplains and Librarians were mostly all dead or dying. The Moon Mourners were an ancient Space Marine Chapter. Once part of the Alpha Legion, they were split apart from their Legion by a Warp Storm. They were hurled out of the Warp almost 4000 years after the Horus Heresy, and their Traitor brethren, tugged at their minds, eventually consuming them utterly. When they had realized their crimes, they fled, only to be hunted and almost utterly destroyed by the Inquisition. Kasara promised the Moon Mourners "revenge for their fallen brethren", for the Doom Kings "eternal life and an end to their doomed existence and the Sons of Saelonce "power to defeat their enemies". For the next 100 years, he conducted a massive crusade which would cost the lives of billions of Imperial Citizens. He traveled to the battered world of Tyroga, an Imperial Hive World, which had suffered terrible losses from the Orks. In four days, what had taken the Imperials 15 months to destroy, it took him 2 days to tear down. The Ork infestations were utterly destroyed. Following the events of more Chaos Infestations in the planetary system, Tyroga Prime, Tyroga II, III, IV and V were all declared Exterminatus. The stench of Death continued to lurk around him when he carried onto the Draedguelaun System. Having fallen prey to the recent cataclysmic Hive Fleet Cerberus Invasions and Iisvhaj raids, he suspected the planets to be corrupt. Without warning he hailed Draedguelau Prime and Draedguelau Secondus Exterminatus, only having heard of Genestealer Infestations on the 2 Draedguelaun planets, when in fact these were only myths. Pleased with his results, the weapon spoke to Kasara once more: "Kasara...You've done well. All those souls you've killed were far from saving. Servents of the Dark Gods they were. Your belief in Him is tremendously strong. You indeed are guided by his light." The daemon led him into another gore filled battle at Celastio, where he butchered every single priest, man, woman and child his blade could reach. Soon, word of Kasara's underground army began to spread and was heard by all the branches of the Inquisition. A conclave a 4 Inquisitors was forged upon the Fortressworld of Toreq whose single perpose would be to bring about the utter annhilation of Kasara and his followers. Less than a day after, the nearby Eldar Craftworld of Ulrok, was all but destroyed by a vicious Space Marine attack. This was the smallest of any Eldar Craftworld being reported, but also the most mobile. While although Toreq was relieved of the oppression of the Craftworld, Kasara's forces were mobilizing on the Eldar Craftworld. A few days later, a massive Iisvhaj Warfleet was spat out of the Immaterium and in a joint effort, decimated Toreq's armies and claimed it as Kasara's territory. All battle fleets sent Toreq after this incident, however, were destroyed in a hail of powerful lance batteries. Until this day, the approximated size of this chapter has been estimated to be close to 2300 marines. Many Ordo Hereticus Inquisitors believe that they have manufactured most of their armour and weapons from Wraithbone from the nearby defeated Eldar Craftworld of Ulr Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/81648-the-sons-of-kasara-final-draft/#findComment-946188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
