The Age of Dusk [60K] [SECTION 54 IS UP!]

[OshawaIcedHands]

@LordLucan

Two questions:

1. Why is Cadia called the Heart of the Eye of Terror if it was outside the Eye of Terror during the Age of the Old Imperium? Why did Lorgar choose that place as his capital and not Sicarus? And the Primarch crusades against the Travesty make almost no mention of any Crone World Eldar forces, or the Impossible World that the Draziin-Maton first sprung from. What are they doing as the Travesty burns?

2. Is Lorgar trying to become a Chaos God? Because I'm still not sure what he's doing on Cadia.

I can answer at least one of the Questions, but take it with a grain of salt. Cadia's Pylons probably broke from the strain of the Black Crusades (It did take 20 for Abbadon to Conquer it) allowing for the Eye to expand beyond its Old Imperium Boundaries. Even if the pylons weren't destroyed, the planet is still fortified to hell and back and would be easily defendable by a token force. Sicarus is a Daemonic Shrine World that the Word Bearers were using as a base post-Heresy. Churches are not exactly that defensible, even by Traitor Legions. Plus the infinite birth rate in Cadia would allow Lorgar to gather enough Sacrifices to hypothetically become a God if he managed to find Ahriman's Cube of Godhood.

As for the Crone World Eldar and Draziin-Maton, no idea since the focus has been placed on the Eastern Fringe and Iacob's Sanctuary

Thank you.

Also, I've started reading the Eridani Records, and from what I can tell it seems to be saying that the Ophilim is the name of an entire species, of which the Ophilim-Kiasosz is a singular member, and that they're from 'the realm beyond the realm.'

What exactly are they? Do they have any relation to the Deep Warp or the Nex, since both their realm and the Deep are described as being beyond?

I think Lucan died. Or at least got distracted by his various new novels. Though interestingly his personal blog hasn't actually been updated since last year, so died is probably more likely.

[LordLucan]

I seldom use my personal blog, as it wasn't getting many views, and I haven't the time to do loads of movie reviews and blog pieces which'd be required to keep the thing active.

Not dead, I'm still around. I have my personal original fiction which I'm working on at the moment. I also have another alternate universe 30K fanfic project I've been updating more recently; the Arrested Fall. I'll be adding several sections to that today incidentally

Nice to have you back, Lucan. Though do have any ideas about the state of The Age of Dusk and where it goes from here?

[Chaos Prophet]

Praise the Deep for your return!

Speaking of, how ‘sentient’ could the Nex[CHAOSUNCEASING] be considered? Does it actively wish to unmake real space, or is it unaware of its prey?

[L'Arpenteur]

Great to have you back LordLucan ! Eager to see what is coming ! The calm before the storm as we say.

You know, I thought the same thing about the Roboutian Heresy, but that's been updating like crazy recently after 3-4 years. Also LL has 2-3 other projects that they're working on, as far as I know. So they've got a lot on their plate, .

I'm gonna be completely honest, I can't see Vulkan's crusade beating Lorgar.

I mean the Draziin Maton are goddamn invincible and only harmed by stasis grenades, which iirc are really damn rare.

Also about the Daemon Primarch's they've already killed: They were never using Anathames or Daemon-Killing weapons, what's stopping the ones they've 'killed' from just being like "bitch don't you know how demons work?"

Unless I'm missing something important, someone explain pls.
