Hi Gav! I was wondering if you could shed some light on a question that arose from "Deliverance Lost". The following passage is from pages 247 and 248:
Spoiler: 'Yes, you have brothers,' said the Emperor, smiling at his son's delight. 'Seventeen of them. You are the primarchs, my finest creations.'
'Seventeen?' Corvus asked, confused. 'I remember that I was number nineteen. How can that be so?'
The Emperor's expression grew bleak, filled with deep sorrow. He looked away as he replied.
'The other two,' he said. 'That is a conversation for another day.'
Based on
http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_First_Expedition/index.php?showtopic=136&st=15, a post by Laurie Golding, Corax is the 18th Primarch to be discovered. This is especially interesting since the next Primarch to be discovered is one of the Lost Two, which, to me, implies that whatever happened to the IInd (or XIth) Primarch would not have yet happened at the time of Corax's conversation with the Emperor.
This leads to my question: when the Emperor mentions 17 other Primarchs, and two being a "conversation for another day", is he talking about two Primarchs who are yet to be discovered (i.e. the unknown Primarch and Alpharius/Omegon), or he talking about the missing IInd/XIth Primarchs? If it is the latter, will the conversation between Corax and the Emperor be revised in future editions of "Deliverance Lost", or is it indicative of some kind of foreknowledge by the Emperor?
I realize that you may not be at liberty to say, but if you can answer this question, it would be very illuminating. Thank you in advance!
