In your old Age of Darkness RPG, you had a Custodian Battle Trauma called the Curse of Valdor: Legion of One but did not have it down anywhere else. Did you ever get around to it?

I never wrote anything for it, no. It would've worked like the Space Marine flaws of the Primarchs with progressive effects at 30, 60, 90, and 100 Mental Corruption, the theme being that the Custodian would become progressively more insular and paranoid.

Who is the Unspeakable King

Commander Krole: *scowls* *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: "The Unspeakable King was the lord of Albia during Old Night and the earliest years of the Unification War. He was a pariah of unfathomable power who enslaved others of his kind - including my own mother - known as Hollow Ones. Under his tyrannical rule, Albia conquered all of Panpacifica by the end of the twenty-seventh millennium. In an age of endless horrors, the cruelty of his reign remained the stuff of legend for a thousand years after his death. He was the only person I have ever known the Emperor to fear."

Why did the God Emperor Fear the unspeakable king?

Commander Krole: *scowls*

Melpomanei: "The Emperor. Just the Emperor."

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: "The Unspeakable King was, to the Emperor's mind, the only true rival for control of the destiny of mankind. He held a third of Terra in his iron grasp when the Unification War began, his armies so vast and powerful that a thousand years later the clans descended from the broken remnants held the Thunder Legion in check. While the Unspeakable King reigned, the Emperor feared He would fail."

Bolt Pistol, Laspistol or Plasma Pistol?

Commander Krole: *shrugs* *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: "What for? Each has advantages. The laspistol is reliable, efficient, and cheap; the bolt pistol devastating against unarmoured or lightly armoured targets; and the plasma pistol, though temperamental, is powerful enough to make a mockery of conventional armour."

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: "For my personal use, I would take the bolt pistol. The laspistol's advantages do not factor into my considerations, and my usual prey relies on more esoteric defences than mere plasteel and adamantine."

Is it true that the Sisters of Silence have no soul?

Commander Krole: *shrugs* *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: "For a certain value of 'soul', yes. To define the soul as one's presence in the Immaterium is widespread, though simplistic. Some have suggested we have souls of a different sort, thus the term blacksoul is among the many used to describe pariahs."

hc + imperial assassins

Commander Krole: *scowls* *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “There are many who would call pariahs monsters. The Culexus live up to the name. I have been to the Fortress of the Soulless. I have seen how they create the broken and ruined things they call protiphages. If I had not also seen the things they kill, I would have razed that place to the ground.”

(Send me  “HC”  + a word and I’ll write a headcanon about it.)
