#Nikaea

[primarchhammer0k]

Magnus is so forgiving after Nikaea :)

[castellankurze]

The Emperor gathering Mortarion, Leman Russ, Magnus, Jaghatai, & Sanguinius at the conclusion of Nikaea:

*reading from a paper* first I want you to remember that I love & support you all and I am very proud of you doing your best and talking your differences out in an adult way

*lowering paper* That said you have truly annoyed the living shit out of me

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

"council of nikaea" are you fucking kidding me. a wholeass galaxy to choose from and you chose the place named nikaea. i see you, i see what you did there. this is dead serious business about the fate of the imperium and you're making millennia-old religion jokes. magnus and russ and mortarion are all screaming at each other, jaghatai's trying to calm everyone down, angron's fantasizing about killing everyone, and you, you're watching all this and sniggering to yourself over a joke maybe a dozen people in the galaxy would get. first a crusade, now this, just fucking rename terra romestantinople already and admit you've created a new religion. "council of nikaea" are you for real. erda and oll's eyes are gonna roll right out of their skull when they hear about this.

Does Cary have grey hair and if no, are they dying their hair to hide that they actually have grey hair?

this is a really good question bc it allows me to reveal

cary's weirdly young for an astartes. still. physically speaking they're about 121 (as of writing VOTF act 2). if titus isn't greying at 250 then cary sure as hell isn't greying at 120

though i won't lie and say greying hair cary has crossed my mind- i cant find it rn but i have given them silver streaks before in AUs....

.hi can you elaborate on the relationship between Mortarion and Horus in EISW? Tank you

Sadly it's a lot more of a strained relationship than it is in HH :(

EISW Mortarion is best understood by imagining the way a cornered animal lashes out, IMO. He's dying. He's become the thing he hates. The Imperium, which is supposed to be this great hope for humanity, is letting Magnus the Red run around casting spells with a compromised frontal lobe. Lion is literally treating him like some kind of creature that needs to be put down. It's like a nightmare made manifest. Plus he didn't get as much normal human interaction to learn how to um... phrase things better....

And Horus, who's trying his best to keep things running smoothly with his siblings, is only willing to tolerate so much of it before he's suddenly jumping down Mort's throat about how he's a fucking dick. Horus is busy with his fears that the Emperor is finally going to lose it and just start deleting Primarchs and here's Mortarion who can't have a normal interaction with any of their siblings.

Horus seemed pretty reasonable before that and he feels less so afterwards. Mort is actually decently put out about it because he thought Horus understood his worries about all this but, whatever, fine. He saved Barbarus nearly on his own, he'll manage here.

“Unspoken understanding flowed between Magnus and the Emperor. Everything Magnus had done was laid bare, and everything the Emperor planned flowed into him. He saw himself atop the Golden Throne, using his fearsome powers to guide humanity to its destiny as rulers of the galaxy. He was to be his father’s chosen instrument of ultimate victory. It broke him to know that his unthinking hubris had shattered that dream.”

a. this plan makes literally no sense and b. i still don’t really consider it hubris on magnus’s part as much as poor communication, like they really needed to make the emperor say specific things to magnus and then have magnus decide he knows better rather than just “i’m banning wizards” which literally every legion (except mortarion and dorn) ignore anyway.

Magnus the red: You know what? FUCK THE COUNCIL OF NIKAEA!! IM GONNA DRINK THE ELDRITCH COOL-AID TO SAVE DAD! (Accepts blessing of Tzeench to break through the psychic wall around the emperors web way and the golden throne) Alright I’m here, TIME TO WARN D-

Emperor: (pissed) MAGNNNUUUSSSSS!!!!!!!

Magnus: Fuck this shit I’m out!

Current canon (as of this moment) of Ana’s 30k era.

1.) Ana witnessed the Horus Heresy from the perspective of an Imperial household operative and sanctioned psyker on Terra and even took refuge in the Imperial Palace during the Seige.

2.) After the Heresy she left Terra with a band of mercenaries and assumed various different identities and faces throughout a period of a few decades. She hardly used her powers other than to occasionally shift her appearance and sought to planet-hop home.

3.) After an unexpected time jump of a thousand years or so she found herself on her now long abandoned homeworld of Sonora where she re-encountered the entity that awakened her powers (which I’ve called The Sleeper) and was bonded to the spirit of an ancestor.

4.) She later left the planet via a warp gate and has been on the LAM ever since.

My headcanon about how Magnus try to solve the Nikaea's edict. Inspired by HTP: Episode 5's sub-plotline where Marckus ordered DPlush to have a truce.

the council of nikaea in a nutshell

[incorrect-primarchs-quotes]

𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫.

Key points:

Blue text means it's a short story or a novel

The bat 🦇 means Konrad is present

The knife 🔪 means Sevatar is present

Many of these cover a vast timeline: I've put them in this order based on the narrator (example: Vulkan speaking about Nostramo just before Istvaan) or the first chapter (Child of Night starts immediately after Nikaea but ends during the HH)

I ignored books where they appear for 1 line only and do nothing important. I also ignored "Lion: son of the Forest" because that thing is actually a warp-thing and not the real Konny.

i think the thing with magnus is it simply is very difficult to have him narratively be wrong and all pride cometh before the fall about using his powers when you make the opposition stance literally mortarion, and the emperor is also clearly instantly way more wrong re: his abstinence-only approach to psykers/librarians.
