All Primarchs, all the time

Sideblog. I love 40k and Magnus the Red most of all. You can find my fanfics under the same name on Ao3.

I headcanon that Maggy's cloak is made of ostrich feathers or at least looks that way because what we have in canon is not Egyptian enough for me and since Magnus' story is actually a nod to the Osiris myth, it deserves all the good references I can think of. Explanation under the cut.

In Ancient Egyptian mythology, the god Osiris was a king betrayed by his brother Seth. He was murdered, dismembered, and his body scattered across the land. His wife Isis gathered the pieces and restored him, but he could not return to the world of the living. Instead, he became a god of an underworld kingdom.

And Osiris wore a crown with ostrich feathers, yeah. But it's not just that!!! They are a symbol of his kingship, but they are also connected to the feather of Maat. In the Hall of Judgement, the heart of the diseased was weighted against the feather of Maat. If the heart is lighter, the soul passes into the afterlife, and if it isn't, the person is to be devoured by the soul-eater Ammit.

Maat means cosmic order, truth, justice, the balance to be maintained by the king. All those cool pyramids were built by the Ancient Egyptians to maintain Maat.

I think it would be very ironic for Magnus to wear ostrich feathers. His heart is certainly not lighter than a feather, but he was and still is even in 40k a sort of messianic figure. The concept of Maat is connected with the Egyptian civilization itself, that Egypt was The side of order and truth and balance, and everybody else was a barbarian and a child of chaos (lol). Dressing yourself in the symbol of your own future damnation while thinking it's the symbol of your efforts toward humanity's unification sounds perfect for Magnus.

The Iron Warriors Seedling is always frowning! Does anything ever make him smile? (Maybe one of his siblings?)
