When you arrive at the island, the witches file you off. They seem inspired by your recent words, and some of them go off to various points on the island. As you off load your things, you notice that the island, does indeed have fantastic surf, but the weather is bleak and dreary. It is the opposite of your island home. The beach is all stone. The island is either stone, moss, or stunted grass. You can see your breath between the mists on the island but you can’t see the sun through the clouds.

“I was instructed to take you directly to my mother once you got here.” Morgiana says. She doesn’t look pleased. She looks worried. How could this woman be so worried about what her mothers desires are? Is her mother that bad? Is she that disappointing? What kind of woman leaves such psychological scarring that is visible in the very electricity of the person? That the mana is this disjointed? You think about it and she looks at you.

“You are looking at me like how a shark studies a creature out of the water.” She says

“ I am studying your reaction to a family reunion.” You say

“Not everyone has a good family.” She responds. The pair of you walk up a long set of stairs along a mossy path that overlooks most of the island.

Morgiana’s mother, looks somewhat like her, only ancient. Very Ancient. Something had to have prematurely aged her to look this way. Yet you can feel the electricity from her body from the edge of the courtyard around the chair she sits upon.

“Mother I have brought the Warrior from the Bitter Shoals. He is as you described, he fears not the storm nor does he fall to charm.”

“Not even mine?” She says laughing. You are tempted to ask Morgiana, who doesn’t seem more than a decade older than you, how the crone upon the chair could be her mother.

“I cannot tell.” Morgiana says.

“Well than speak Kolinasi, Kaiko Whatiri! What do you see?” She asks

“Well custom dictates, that I know your name, as you know mine I will have to ask it.”

“Kailana, queen of the Island, leader of the witches and lady of the storm. But tell me what do you see?” She says and for dramatic effect she causes lightning to crash about.


“I see an old crone in a chair, playing with the elements and a daughter afraid of her mother.” You say.

The response is instant.

She flings lightning upon you. And it passes over you harmlessly as it has anytime you have encountered it. You are half tempted to fling it back, but hospitality dictates otherwise. So you pop your neck and flex after she does it to you causing a bit of an uproar from the local court.

“Quite impolite to attempt to shock one baring a gift.” You respond.

“Oh? What did you bring to me?” She asks her facial expression changing from one of boredom to genuine surprise.

Lets go!

And I think I have the perfect name for our future Gloriana: Over The Rainbow

>>4708449
“A device that can make a beverage out of any herb, fruit or vegetable. It extracts any toxins from the material put and separates it or any beneficial material and does the same if chosen.” You say putting the gift down.

“What a thoughtful gift! We do seem to brew a lot of teas and this seems like the best way to brew tea! But you didn’t come here to give me a gift. No. Not because my failure of an offspring brought you here, though she completed her task. And I apologize for the lightning I had to be sure it was you. No you came here on your own. You chose to come here. So you answer me, why did you come here? You didn’t have to. You could have easily defeated my daughter and her entourage. Why did you come?” She asks and you look at Morgiana. The daughter looks like she goes through this daily.

The woman is starting to really anger you with her treatment of her daughter and her general lack and utter contempt of hospitality.

Here's an idea for possible color scheme for the Legion

Went for oceanic scheme (Green-Blue, Bronze, Dark Rubber)

Imagien the Loincloth taking more after Tribal designs

And the faceplate can be modified into a warmask

Old man, please remember to link the new thread in the old one so the dumb anons like me know when to migrate

>>4708923
Nice.
Let me repeat the question I put in the old one since it may have been lost.
Does anyone have any ideas for our legion colour? Blue and yellow for water and lighting? Black for space? Do the Maoi have any significant cultural colour? Do Jera and our tribe?

>>4709075
Not really seeing a need for it at the moment. Legion colours like this though are nice >>4708923 especially because I want to see a marine do a Hakka.

I am wondering if there is a reason as to why they don't pick the "polite theat" option. Just because it isn't interesting or what?

>Swordfish Class Heavy Grav-Ekranoplan

You realize that this woman is either testing you or being foolish in the extreme. Why would someone demonstrate such attitude in such a way unless they knew it was to cause some anger. You must approach carefully. If you are to master war, and life you must be able to have some guile. She is like a deep sea predator and has an angle. You just have to find it.

Yet she must also answer for her actions, while seeing how she is testing you.

A friendly reminder, that you are not frightened always works best though. This is like fishing, sometimes you want to anger the fish for it to attack the lure.

“Honestly, I am wondering why I came here as well. I am being polite and abiding by my custom of hospitality. But if you keep being so impolite I have reason to leave if you continue to make an ass of yourself.” You say and the court around you looks shocked. As does Morgiana, one of the witches off to the side holds back a little laugh.

“I came here to find allies, those who hate the slavers. Those who have seen what hell they have wrought. What kind of horrible people they are. I found them on the way here. I get here, I find a mean old woman who enslaves her family and kin to fear. Worse than the slavers by all accord.”

This causes the woman on the chair to give an odd look as if taken a bit back, but you sense that it is somewhat fake she is trying to goad you a certain way.

Then you realize your training as a big man. Sometimes to set up two tribes, you do a marriage. But marriages don’t always work when arranged. Sometimes you have to get the interest in a certain way. Then you spot the lure. It’s the daughter herself. She is fishing. She wants you to be interested in the daughter. She is trying to get you to feel for her daughter. She is trying something here that is a special kind of venomous.

“I think that maybe you are trying to test me. Trying to see my response see if I am some sort of hero or prophecised thing, or some push over, or some puff fish, all bluster nothing to back it save the poison inside it. Heroics do not interest me. I am not some story person here to rescue the girl and sweep her off her feet. I am no push over. I am no puff fish. I am not one to be trifled with. If you are to speak with me, speak plainly.” You say as some of the people around you stand aghast as the woman on the stone chair sits silent. She looks at you as the lantern fish when it realizes that it has been found out.

“You do not appear to me, as you do to them. That much I know. You appear to me as some broken old thing. These men and women, they look at you like some beauty. I can sense the electricity and mana around you. It gives off some field. You are but illusion. But your illusion hides something better than beauty. Wisdom is a real treasure.” You say and she stands up. But before she can speak you hold up a hand.

“Our alliance, our future, is no illusion however. So long as you deal in truths with me. I offer you peace between our people to fight a greater enemy.” You say and she sits down.

“This is different than I foresaw. You- this didn’t happen the way it was supposed to. Perhaps I can treat with you differently.” She says with some authenticity.

“Then deal with truths. I bring you a gift, and offer an alliance. I was told once upon a time, you fought with others against the slavers.”

“Aye. The old knights. We fought with them. We fought off the slavers once. Then they came back tougher with allies. The knights moved on. Or at least they haven’t returned to our aid. What do you offer in the order of alliance? I know your people do not have technology, but they have mighty warriors.” She says

“Yes. We have warriors. But we have a new way to method for technology. I was told you saw the future. Why do I feature in it?” You ask.

“The future heavily involves you! A legion of sons! A mighty warrior. You save this planet. I am happy to forge an alliance with you. I may have to think of it, there may be some terms” She says and you notice her focus on you being a father of a legion. She wants an army. She thinks you will bring it. You don’t think that there are that many people in the tribes though.

I prefer this as we get information on enemies, terms and possibly important facts. The future she saw might be interesting but she already said that things turned out different than she saw.

Maybe the future she saw was the one that would lead to us getting [REDACTED]?

>>4710002
Perhaps but this is an alternate timeline. We probably weren't even supposed to be on this planet.

>Like all the Space Marine Legions, the 2nd was formed from the populaces of the various Techno Barbarian tribes and nation states defeated by the Emperor during the Unification War(s)
>In particular, the 2nd drew heavily from both the Yndonesian Bloc and the Pan Pacific Empire
>Both nations in particular are ironic considering records recovered by the Primarch Kolinaisi which brought to light the origins of the first waves of immigrants of De’lormosa who predominantly came from the predecessor states to the Bloc and 'Empire'
>It can be said that few Legions were quite as suited to their Primarch once they were reunited, seeing as both had developed expertise in Amphibious, Aquatic, Boarding operations and more leading to the Legion's structure and doctrines changing minimally in the wake of their reunification
>In addition, this level of familiarity led to the Legion being welcomed warmly by the De’lormosan people which was returned with fervor on the Legion's part
Just an idea that struck me.

>>4710079
Once we chose our homeworld and who would raise us set our timeline

Its possible the timeline she saw was one where Jero raised us first, leading to us being more a raider/pirate that was more inclined to simply kill her at the slightest annoyance?

So you're saying she wanted us to try to kill her by provoking us?

Go for it anon, even if it's not canon, it's always interesting.

I just hope we remember to eventually ask to meet the "mother" of the primarchs, since out of all our brothers, we know she exists.

>Ruatepupukens
>The Elite Boarding specialist formation of the XIth Legion
>Named after a mythic De’lormosan culture hero, who after the Sea God stole away fire from Humanity causing mass unrest, starvation and death, dived into the ocean and searched for a month until he found the Sea God's palace.
>Sneaking inside, Ruatepupuke stole back the fire, but also snatched away the God's crown which was the source of his power before setting the palace on fire and escaping
>Befitting their namesake, the Marines hailing from the formation have a preference for thermal weaponry of all kinds (Melts, Flamer, Plasma etc.)
>They are commonly deployed with Terminator armor of all variants to ensure their survival and success
>As part of the myth is explaining the origins of checks and balances to the Kahuna's, they also act as bodyguards and advisors for the Primarch Kolinaisi

Agreed

>>4711241
Actually, that may look to be favoritism if we try to make them the colors of De’lormosa

>>4711257
Guilliman did it and his sons loved it.
Actually I'm sure that's what happened to most primarchs and their legions.
The detractors among our sons would probably complain about any changes we may make.

I meant more due to the various people of De’lormosa may see it as favoritism

When we unite the planet we need a flag/colors to signify the unification

'Nother blurb
>De’lormosan Industries
>Since its integration into the Imperium during the Great Crusade, De’lormosa has become a galaxy renowned system of shipwrights, ranging from the mundane Aquatic, to Warp capable Battleships and everything in-between
>So important has its industrial output become that the Adeptas of the Administratum, Muniotorium, and Navis Imperialis in particular have spent great effort to protect it and that is without getting to the XIth Legion and its descendants' fervent protection of their mother world
>Its skill and output in shipmaking alongside its populace long since acquiring the 'hat' of being natural sailors has gifted De’lormosa with strong ties to the Navis Imperialis, with many famed Admirals, Captains and more hailing from the Ocean World

>>4711350

>>4711291

>>4711359
That picture reminds me of the Lucrehulk Core ships from star wars.

>>4711359
That makes sense, although the flag of De’lormosa and the symbol of our legion should probably be different.
But giving them a mixture of Jera's and our Tribe's colour and flag would make sense, after all he and the chief arenour fathers, and the legion our sons, so it belongs to them all.
The 11th legion is going to end up being incredibly wholesome and comfy if Kolinasi stays the way he is.

>Aside from their skills as shipwrights, De’lormosa is also well known for their development and creation of Hover-Grav Craft.
>As seen with the Swordfish >>4709785 De’lormosan Grav-Craft do not use full Grav-systems like the Land Speeder, Grav-Rhinos etc. But rather use combinations of Aerodynamics, Turbofans, Aircusions and more in unison to reduce cost and complexity for repairs, maintenance and survivability
>While this has meant that many regard such 'Half-Gravs' as juryrigged or 'Pedestrian', the Astra Millitarum in particular has made great use of the various designs that De’lormosa has leased to the various Hive and Forgeworlds across the Galaxy making them a fairly common sight

" What are the terms of an alliance between your people and ours? You can either foolishly stand against the waves, or be lifted by the rising tide. The choice is yours." You ask the woman and she stands up and starts to slowly walk down. You already have an idea, but your not sure that you like it.

“The rising tide lifts all boats. We stand with you. Not against you. You speak of family, you speak of joining our tribes. Our people need blood ties. We need to be.. bonded.” She says making a gesture with her hands bringing them together.

You raise your eyebrows to look surprised. You can almost be certain she is going to try to use her daughter like some bidding chip or some prize.

“Well, I speak of marriage naturally. Of my daughter.” Here it comes but before you can open your mouth she puts up a finger.

“But not to you. No. Nothing personal. I know the future. I know what your real father did to you. I don’t think it would be wise. No. I will send my daughter back among your people to pick a suitor.” She says. Surprising.

“Well these are terms that would have to be agreed to with the other big men. Our alliance, what do you offer?” You ask.

“Our vehicles. Also your own personal guard. Those that watched you earlier. We will try to fight by your side. However, we will need access to your technology as well. And your sharp mind.” She says motioning for you to walk with her. Her daughter looks at you with a confused expression, that to be fair matches yours.

“I can offer my experience and expertise but there are probably more suited individuals.” You say and she lets out a strange sigh.

“Don’t give me that. I see the currents of the future. Yours are constantly shifting and changing, but things are so different from what I saw before. You know a bit, I bet if I broke the grav board you brought you could fix it with improvised tools. Though- it seems that healing the sick and wounded seems also on your path. Quite strange.” She says.

“Well, how many vehicles are there?” You ask.

“You have that big ship at home. You will, with our assistance have 3 Ground Effect Vehicles to assist, and a few smaller fast boats. I assume that you will shore up our defense as well as your own at bitter shoals?” She asks.

“If we can gather the resources. It will be difficult.” You say and realize there was a few vehicles you could design that would help and this Ground Effect Vehicle concept, could perhaps, make things work easier.

“Speaking of this. Another part of this pact, requires you to send people to teach us to fish in your way. What we can fish here will probably help us greatly.” She says.

“I see, another condition. What other conditions exist to this Alliance?” You ask

>>4711525

“When I die, I wish to be placed in your peoples volcano. Additionally, I wish my island to be equal partner to the tribes you ally with that means I wish to authorize targets for the privateering that you conduct.” She says. This is complicated. These terms seem fair, but to be safe you should bring her back.

“I will of course, be happy to consult with the Big Men on this.” She says, before you can open your mouth. Worrying you about what she really can see.

“That would be wise.” You say

“You can survive the storm, quite impressive on your own right. I had to know.” She says confirming your theory of her testing you.

“I have you another question. These ancient knights what can you tell me about those who fought with you against the slavers.” You ask.

“I haven’t seen a knight since I was a small girl. If you could find them, they would make a powerful ally against the slavers, however their numbers are probably decreased. I imagine they are still in the same place they once were, but you are going to have to earn their aid. For my tribe it is easy. I have seen the future, I know allying with you is the smart move. Them though, I can see it, but it will be very difficult.” She says clinching her teeth looking off in the distance and exhaling deeply.

“You can really see me for who I am can’t you.” She asks looking at you.

“Are you asking me to judge your appearance?” You ask.

“Careful.” She says.

“You look like a grand matron of my tribe, the hair is different though, you look a little slimmer too.” You say and she once again scoffs.

“Well thank you for the brutal honesty. To come back to your question of the Knights. They will find you, before you find them. Make enough noise and they will find you.” She says.

“Ask your next question, I am sure you are busy.”

“Whom would be so vile that they would ally with those who enslave others.” You ask.

“An ancient evil. A powerful evil. They call themselves the Drukhari. They aid the slavers, only occasionally and they came in with the dumpers. The Drukhari get a perverse glee in how the planet is polluted. They aid the slavers in, their dark crafts. Flesh Craft. Mind Craft. The price the slavers paid for this alliance, I dare not consider it. If you can unite all tribes, the knights, and us- we may stand a chance. It will be difficult.” She says as the pair of you walk.

“ I will be the rising tide that lifts all our tribes. I realize that now.” You say and she nods.

“You will be asked to pick banner colors when you return to the bitter shoals. I am giving you four of my girls as guard when you return with my daughter. I suggest you pick quickly.” She asks

“How much time do I have here, before returning home?” You ask.

“How much time do I have here, before returning home?” You ask.

“The trip is a long one. It would be best for the trip in the morning. I ask you select your guard before sunset.” She asks

“How can you determine the sunset in such a dreary place?” You ask and she lets out an authentic laugh.

“It is beautiful when it does. You’ll see. I confer hospitality upon you.” She says.

You still don’t trust her. She still treats her daughter poorly, but you feel that she will abide by the ancient rites of hospitality. There is much to do on this island before sunset. Where to begin.

Ok. So Because I know everyone is going through this and coming to the favored portion of painting the legion.

When you return to the village you will be given banner colors, however since it has been a popular question.

Banner colors are are as follows

Copper (Jera)
Bronze (Ravi)
Light Blue of the ocean (Ravi) (Like the poster ID of the one I'm responding to)
Black of the night sky
Desert Tan of the sand
Whale Bone
Seafoam Green (Jera)
Sunrise Orange

>>4711621
So if we went maximum family it would be a teal and cyan with a brass finish? That could work.

>>4711648
What is chosen is yet to be seen. De'lormosa is tropical, so it would be reflected in the popular colors.

But it's up to what you guys want. There will be many color options.

Well of course those who aid the slavers are the Dark Eldar. Don't know what was I expecting. Not that it's bad though(other than they will be difficult opponents). We will probably be pretty close to Vulcan in the future due to this. I also wonder if we can train our warriors and the witches to use combined tactics based on their abilities. We will have to make everyone trust each other though.

Also I just had an idea for our Legion.
Call them the Storm Riders and have a big wave as our symbol.
That way we get our surfing and fishing together with our origin of landing in the middle of a tornado.
Thoughts?

>>4712303
I think I suggested that as the name of our Legion in the first thread

I like the wave symbol idea

File: waves.png (224 KB, 1701x557)

224 KB PNG

>>4712316
Well, here's 3 different waves that could work.
I'm going to paint them in the colours of the marines, but having them unedited here should help if the legion ends up with another ones

235 KB PNG

>>4712357
oh shit, I can't believe I left the 3rd one bigger than the rest.

>>4712357
You could possibly edit the right wave to look like a shark to reference Big Boy

>>4712368
A shark head could be the other symbol that goes on the other pauldron.
Maybe that could be what distinguishes the companies, what kind of sea animal is on their shoulder.

>>4712386
>The first 30 Companies of the XIth Legion took as their symbols each of the great beasts their Genesire slew on his journey to unite De’lormosa
>The most famous obviously being the 1st Grand Company, the Lightning Sharks who act as Kolinaisi's personal Company and the most Veteran heavy (by comparison to other Companies in the Legion)

>>4712407
Actually, rather than Companies maybe Chapters would work better here?

>>4712424
Chapters are only after the the Blue Asshole writes his book.
For now it's 30k and the marines are in legions, so your write up is great.

>>4712469
>Each Chapter is descended, in one way or another, from the twenty original Space Marine Legions founded to wage the Great Crusade -- in fact, the term "Chapter" began as one of several names for a roughly thousand-strong division of Marines, as a thousand Marines was few enough to be logistically manageable while numerous enough to handle almost any situation, especially with the assistance of their Imperial Army regiments. However, some Legions preferred to operate at full strength all the time, especially the Sons of Horus (judging from the books, the Vengeful Spirit housed the Legion's whole first ten companies) and the Death Guard (operating most of the time as a single force of ~90k+ marines). It says something about the sheer manpower of these armies that large portions of the Legion were often benched during a campaign.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Space_Marine_Chapter
Chapters can work here, so around 30,000 Marines get first dibs

Maybe 30,000 is all they would have or just enough for 29 full Chapters but they decided to form a 30th from volunteers from each Chapter?

And while I was working on them, I noticed that the black and white image had an error.
Here's the fixed version.

>>4712736
1000, not a 100.
But perhaps having the first and last without and animal would be better, so the honour guard and the reserve are treated like part of the whole instead of separate.

That one is my favorite too, so I tried removing the upper green since they are encased in a circle, it doesn't need to exist.
And changed the border from copper and bronze to both brass.
Brass is copper + zinc, just like bronze is copper + tin, so i thought in a way it would be our own colour, since the green and blue are theirs, but at the same time still being part of their family.

The island is different. The ground is hard, save for the moss which grows around rampantly, more so than any grass. The island is bigger than "bitter shoals" as they keep calling it, but you think you could walk it. As you walk around you find the locals. Not all of them are witches. Not all of them are women. They actually seem quite keen to meet an outsider. The plantlife has a lot that you can identify that would be medicinally helpful and your shoal stoat seems enjoy the weather here. You run into one of the witches from before when your shoal stoat catches her scent and bounds over to her.

He probably smells weakness- the weakness of giving food...

The 'witch' and also apparent warrior, Gela. She is doing some rough sparring with a younger man. She stops everything to play with the shoal stoat.

Naturally she also has some food which she offers.

"Explorin the island huh?" She asks and you nod

"I guess you are probably also looking for people to be your guard." She says playing with the shoal stoat.

"You have any recommendations?" You ask.

"Take only people who want to go, continue your walk about, but this island has had more than enough toil from losing people who don't want to go places voluntarily." She says.

"I wouldn't do it any other way" You say.

"If you need a volunteer, I'll go." She says and her sparring partner gets up and looks at you.

"Hello!" The younger man, looks younger than you. He would not be asked to take the rites he is so young.

"Hello!" You say back.

"This is my brothers friend tommy." She says. Her brother was taken, and Tommy, is still very young.

"I thought the slavers only come around occasionally, they would have had to taken" and before you can finish tommy looks down, and she puts up a finger

"The slavers themselves come rarely for their 'tithe' raiders. Raiders who want to avoid the tithe and offer up captured people to the slavers for profit and to save their skins. That's who took my brother." She says.

Good Morning!
__

You note her enthusiasm but before she turns to go and you continue exploring the island you pause her.

"Wait." You say.

"Find me three good women. The best you got. Volunteers only." You say. And she smiles nods and runs off.

You come to a path leading to a gigantic local stonewraught structure. It's the first of it's kind that you have seen. It's mostly collapsed and caved in parts, and you can only imagine the size of the structure at it's peak.

You walk inside and see big murals and statues of large figures. They aren't human. They are clearly machine, some kind of walker construct. Or at least that is what you think from the pod. An important part of warfare, and a good advantage to have.

"Those are your knights." A man says in a nearby corner.

"You heard me earlier?" You ask.

"Aye. I did. Those. Life size replicas of em."

"Those are massive." You say

"Aye. They left this isle ages ago. The stone houses that they have however, still stay. They are nice and warm in the winter, where they aren't collapsed. We don't live up further north closer to the equator like you." The man steps out of the shadows. He is of red hair, and he has a patch over one eye.

"There are more stone houses like this?" You ask.

"Aye. We even started making our own. Good in a storm." He says.

"You live here?" You ask

"No friend. I take care of it. My house is down the way a bit. Built it myself." He says with no small amount of pride and a smile on his face.

"You have family?" You ask and he nods.

"One of the few that does. My wife and child haven't been taken. We have been blessed in the raids. We live a bit further inland and on a hill. So we have fair warning." He says.

"I am Kolinaisi Kaiko Wahtiri. Who are you?" You ask and he comes out of the shadow

"Karlan. Stonewright of these parts." He says.

You trade grips with him. He has calluses on his hands and a firm grip. Your father would note that this is good as he looks like he has been a fight or two.

"Karlan can you show me around this island, I don't really have a guide, while it is easy to navigate it would be nice to have a local show me the sites." You say and he nods.

>>4715165

He guides you for a little ways to a place called a ‘pub’ where a man is outside serving some kind of meat product, he called mutton that is served on a stick. It tastes good. Different. Your pet likes it. A lot.

He guides you the prime village where you see Gela is talking to a few different girls. Most people are interested in your tattoos or you in general.

Then you see the port.

Many boats. More than your island. Different ones. And two of the Ground Effect Vehicles, that you were informed of.

“I rode in on one of those.” You say and he chuckles.

“What?” You ask.

“I used to pilot them. Kind of hard to with one eye.” He says and you nod.

“What is it like? Piloting a big ship or Ground Effect Vehicle.” You ask

“Boat, boat is nice. Boat is simple. So long as you know how to navigate and got yourself a decent crew. If it’s less than four people and a big boat? It will take you all day just to get everything ready and sorted. You only need a few people when it’s ready. Even if it’s an ironside. Those things. Those are something I’ve wanted to pilot. Something without the sails? Makes my day.” He says.

“Then you got one of them GEVS or sometimes if you hear the farthest shoal people, who also have them, call em Eukranaoplanes.” He says and you are curious as to how he could say such a confusing sounding word. GEV sounds easier.

“Totally different game. One man to fly it. And I do mean fly it. It’s like flying. You want a back up captain though because of how hard it can be. Servicing it? One man. My Daughter: Allesandra, she can pilot and repair it. Without witch craft.” He says more pride coming to his voice. You can tell he is a proud father.

“You teach her?” You ask as you both stop in the middle of the port near the dockside

“Yeah. She learned really well.” He says. And you smile. You let your shoal stoat friend out to play a bit, but she seems mostly content to just perch on your shoulder and observe.

“This your town?” You ask

“Yeah. The witch colony is further that way, where the ancient mother lives, you met her no doubt. We mostly live here and scattered throughout the island and have a pub in each town.” He says

“How big is it?” You ask

“It’s one of the bigger islands on this big blue ball we call a planet. It’s so big we got a lake, with an island, with a lake on that island.” he says which causes you to think for a minute and think in comparison to your island chain. There is one island that has a lake.

“Do volcanoes count?” You say and he laughs.

“Aye. We have one of those too.” He motions off in a direction.

“How long are you staying on our island?” He asks

“I leave tomorrow.” You say

“There is much for you to do then before nightfall!” And he pulls out a map.

And I am so sorry it took so long to get back. I am doing multiple shifts at work, and yesterday was really stormy. I am happy I was able to get away to do this before a nice breakfast.

>Go Surf, invite the stonrwright
Come ooooooooooooon, we can't keep putting this off.

And I'm guessing the 'Knights' are Knight Titans

>>4715199
You are the first to say it out loud. I didn't lay too into did I? Should there have been more mystery?

>>4715214
if you know 40k then it was sorta easy to guess. Like I got it as soon as I heard the name, and it was easily confirmed in the second post they were mentioned in when the shaman said "Work on their knights"

>>4715218
>>4715214
That and the mention of mechanical walkers

>>4715214
It was supposed to be a mystery?
The only things in humanitiy side that could fight against Deldar and raiders with advanced technology and be called knights are either the titan houses or spacemarines, and the laster didn't exist back then.

How do the knights operate on De’lormosa anyway? Can't be too much land with all the water which could hinder them.

Do they make use of air cushion craft so the Knight Titans can stand on them while fighting? Or do they have Dom-esque hover systems integrated into the nlrgs of Titans?

>>4715419
Depends on if you meet them.

How you describe it reminds me of the KMF VTOLS from Code Geass

I was wondering about something and I'm not sure if it's been considered yet or not in the previous thread, but what if instead of a Librarius we take this tribe of witches to act as our legions Librarians? They wouldn't be augmented but they would act a part or as the only members of the librarius

>>4716377
That'd be an appalling idea. Like completely, since you are A) providing no support or teachings to the psychic marines that turn up within our legion, B) outsourcing our legions information, records and history to a human auxiliary group with a dynastic and hereditary membership rather than one based on loyalty or merit and C) Marines are just stronger and better psykers, so you are also denying us superior troops.

>>4716377

You pick up your surfboard and start walking towards the nearby surf outside the little sound where the waves are, actually perfect for surfing.

"Stonewright, you surf?" You ask Karlan and he smiles

"Nah, not this time of year. Too cold. Maybe in a few months." He says.

"Suit yourself." You say and you thank him for guiding you around.

You put your new friend on shore, and tell her to stay. She stays, but you think it's because she wants to nap.

You paddle out, and it is indeed cold. It's very bracing but it doesn't bother you. It's nice and brisk, like a cup of chilled water.

The waves, they are monsters. Massive waves for you. You would be surprised if anyone save your uncle or Rawiri would try these waves. But you do. The pipeline that forms around you as the waves break. The ocean here is darker than your home. The stormy weather doesn't do much favor, or at least the dreariness. As you cut the waves, you decide to fully test the limits of your new board and it's plating.

You find one of the larger waves, and you ride up it, and you are soaring. Well temporarily. You feel much joy in the short bursts up you have. And as you make another attempt you notice that a small crowd has assembled on the shore to watch you. You put on a "little show," as your father would say and do some harder tricks, leaving the board entirely once and doing a handstand, which is extremely hard on the new board. When you come to shore a few villagers come up. And they all want to talk to you.

You are able to learn a lot about the town and the island at large.

The villagers live hardy lives. Their daughters, almost without exception, are warp touched except every generation there is one born called “The Weird” which you find kind of insulting, that is banished. In their words, they don’t have any mana. None. You find it odd. And you ask about the person, but they do not talk much about the subject, so you move on. You talk about the rest of the island.

There are many towns, and you think but are not sure, that this town has the best “pub” according to the locals who are eager to have you try things.

Apparently outsiders from your particular tribe are incredibly rare.

You ask about the witches, and essentially, they are trained and exceptionally disciplined from birth. As they were told if they were not, incredibly bad things would happen, and the fae would try to take them away.
__

>>4716685
You have no idea what the ‘fae’ are, but you are not sure if they are the Drukhari or the slavers, but they sound real enough with the hushed tones the people talk of them in.

You find a woman, who is likely to volunteer named Meera, who is a bit of an explorer, and agrees to return with you back to the stonehall.

During this time she explains much of the culture and technology of the island.

The technology, is, to say somewhat better than yours at least at the moment subtracting the old man from the equation.

They have multiple black smiths, and they have much better housing, plumbing, and other benefits to living on a larger island. They also seem to respect the ocean as much as you do. Their boats, are almost all motorized if they are small, but the large ones seem to have sails. When you ask Meera, she informs you that the island doesn’t have the resources to make engines, nor the technology.

You feel that, if you were to bring the technology here from the dumpers, they could reverse engineer some engines and some of the technology for vessels faster, as they have much more advanced boats.

You go back to the Hall of Knights, and after much examination, you notice something. Not with your sight, but your electrical sense.

There is a hidden door under the largest knight.

You sense out and you work with the mana, and the door opens.

>>4717157
They develop their own Battle Cant, like the White Scars, but it's all surfer lingo.

>>4717157
Maybe having a lot of hunting trophies like how their Primarch hunted sea monsters and took trophies from them. They could even make it a recruitment trial or favorite training method along with surfing.

>As stated before, many of the traditions already present in the XIth Legion due to recruitment from the Yndonesians and Pacificans could be found in a 'Pure' state on De’lormosa
>This in particular concerns the practice of tattooing and even armor painting, the latter which is typically used to mirror the tattoos found on a Marines' body on the surface of the armor
>An interesting characteristic of the tattoos of the XIth is rather than th usual use of needles to print designs onto skin, the act of carving the skin and then dyeing the resulting crevices with various means is used
>If Marines come from De’lormosa they are expected to already have some form of tattooing on their body. in which skin grafting is used to move any designs that exist on the Sternum to accommodate the Legion Symbol to represent their induction into the Legion

5-1 Ask the stonewright.

___

When the door opens you are tempted to go inside, but you are a guest. It would be wrong. So you decide to go ask the Stonewright.

You go back to the Stonewright, who is at the pub, trying to do some sort of trick and get people to play his game.

You instantly recognize the trick as your uncle would do this to take trinkets and coin from sailors.

"Friend, a hidden door opened up at the Stone Hall. I was wondering if you knew about it as caretaker and if I may be permitted to explore it." You ask. He seems perplexed.

"Well the door was there. It was just that it was impossible to move. I mean even a small child could find the door, but nobody could actually open it." He says, and you can sense him bragging. You think it may have taken him a while to find the door, or a small child found it infront of him

"I did. Albeit unintentionally. I do not wish to infringe upon the rite of hospitality. I will not explore further past the threshold unless you accompany me and allow for it." You say. He smiles and it looks like this has made him feet taller. He looks proud at his position.

"I would love to. However, I have promised I will not leave until someone solves my nail puzzle." He says.

"Nobody has found it out?" You ask and most of the crowd is in agreement.

So you do as your uncle showed you. You line up the nails in a neat little order like the roof of a hut and place the balance nail on the other nails head. Everyone looks like you have conducted magic. Including the witches.

"What do I win?" You ask and the pub is abuzz in excitement and then there is some laughter.

"I will go with you, but first, we must collect the prize." He says, and suddenly there is a drink for everyone in the pub, apparently one for each who tried. You are offered a drink, and you go with the local custom, but you try something local.

You aren't really a fan of the taste, you prefer the drinks of your home, but you drink it all to be polite.

You and now a smaller crowd, the Stonewright, Meera, and a few people from the Pub follow you.

>>4717810
When they get inside the door is still open, and the Stonewright motions for you to go in first.

You go first and the door leads to a set of stairs that goes down for what seems like a long way.

The lighting is still on, whatever it is, be it some kind of gas fire, which you learned from technology.

It goes for several flights, and if you are counting steps, it would be several stories down.

When you reach the bottom there is a lever that flips on and it lights up a large area.

Large machines, benches with tools and papers, various ‘cogitators’ as they were called, and some other matierals. There is a large screen connected to a strange table and cobwebs are everywhere. But nothing like the statues upstairs. It looks like there is space for the statues upstairs down here, but no statues.

>> Go look at the very large machines
>> Look at the nearby bench with papers and tools on it.
>> Try to understand how a cogitator works.
>> Look at the other materials that are lying around.

>Liek all Legions, the recruitment process for the Astartes to be are fairly varied, though due to the close knit family-like bonds they exhibit they are far less prone to mass press ganging of locals outside of truly horrific losses
>The legion is receptive of all walks of life, whether they're from the Nobles, Hive Gangers or the children of rulers who fought against Compliance and allows volunteers in the majority of cases,
>This focus on quality over quantity has caused a notably slower recruitment rate, though in exchange fatalities during the testing and implantation phases tend to be on the lower end of Legions
>Typically recruits are given the tasks of testing their physical and survival prowess by hunting and slaying one of the local fauna, the deadlier the better
>On De’lormosa, their has been a rising concern over the number of sea beasts dropping which spells poorly both for the testing of recruits and environmental conservation seeing as predators keep nature in check, leading to a new policy of testing recruits as teams to improve bonds as they work together to take down beasts and limit depopulation

Nice work. Maybe they change the trials to teams taking a trophy from a beast instead of killing it outright.

>>4717829
Like knocking it unconscious and taking teeth, claws, scales?

>>4717835
Honestly if it was anything ornamental, it would have to be something that doesn't harm the beast.
The culture of the tribes is to use everything, so stealing something from the beast would have to be something trivial, that wouldn't doom the beast or kill the beast and share it's wealth with the community.
>>4717824
>>4717816
>>4717829
I forgot to add you can add multiple choices. Which I should have.

>>4717835
Something like that. If they can do it as part of a team all the better. Without killing it obviously.
>>4717839
I figured that it is always the case unless you specify that we can only take a specific number of choices.

>Over The Rainbow (Frm. Raging Storm)
>The Gloriana class battleship of the XIth Legion, then renamed the Storm Riders once they were reunited with their Primarch
>Starting out as a 'fairly typical' Gloriana, over the 100+ years in service to the XIth it would be upgraded and remodeled to better accommodate the Legion's preferences, in this case would be Planetary Assault and emphasis on Fleet Command
>Additional landing/launch bays were installed so as to deploy the lion's share of a planetary assault, but in most cases the Raging Storm would act more as 'Super Carrier' with wings upon wings of Fighters and Bombrs of all makes pouring out of it both to better screen the fleet and provide additional punch to the Fleet's strike elements

>Xiphon-Tawahiri
>By the time Kolinaisi was reunited with his Legion, the Xiphon was already beginning to fall behind in performance to newer fighters in the Imperial Army and Navy, most notably the Fury
>But the XIth were never the best equipped Legion, having to make due with what they could acquire or even salvage at times
>As such, the XIth continued to make use of the Xphon, with this model being developed in the years during the Legion's Techmarines and fighter pilots stay on De’lormosa and their mingling with the various Tech-Masters and engineers to deelop a mating of Imperial and De’lormosan technology to celebrate their reunion with their Genesire
>Named after a common sky deity found in myths across the world, the Xiphon-Tawihiri lives up to its name, swift as can be while falling upon its foes like thunder
>The main change in design was the not armament like most would assume, the quad-lascannon and missile launchers were respectable and lethal
>The change came in the airframe, takign inspiration from recordings of their father sky-surfing (or 'Reffing' as it is known locally), with many small Grav-Plates spaced across the frame, affording the fighter unprecedented maneuverability, even allowing it to eschew the need of air-control surfaces for changing direction, and allowing it to bring its weapons to bear more often

>>4717811
>> Try to understand how a cogitator works.

>>4717903
To my understanding, the Xiphon never fell behind in performance in comparison to other Astartes fighters. It was just finicky, needed constant micromanagement in flight, was hard to make and maintain, and had short range.

>>4718121
Perfect for insane air-surfing marines then.

>Battle Doctrine and Organization
>After reuniting with their Primarch, the XIth Legion (Now named the Storm Riders) changed minimally in how they did battle or organized the Legion as per the Principas Belicosa, as Primarch Kolinaisi saw the effectiveness of it seeing as it served his sons well during his absence, and so as too not alienate the Terran Veterans that made up the majority of the Storm Riders' command structure
>The changes that would be seen came in the form of internal callsigns when the Legion was operating alone (This would be put on hold while performing joint ops with other Legions, where they would default to the standard manners of communication to reduce issues), and an increase toward a more fast attack format similar to but still distinct from the Vth Legion, alongside some renaming and specialist formations being made (The Ruatepupukii comes to mind)
>Generally, Hover/Grav transports and vehicles became more common, especially those made by the Mechanicus aided De’lormosan Techs
>Chain/Power Axes also became a more frequent site, so as to emulate their Genesire

>De’lormosan PDF
>Finding it's origins in the various groups that the Primarch Kolinaisi banded together at first when beginning his quest to unite his homeworld
>Due to the heavily aquatic nature of De’lormosa, defending the planet is much easier than one would think, owing to the majority of land being islands and some small continents making actually landing sufficient amount of troops in viable areas a death sentence as the areas where it would be easiest to do so are quite heavily defended
>Ocean going vessels are typically used in place of traditional armored vehicles alongside various Aircraft, Surface-to-Orbit fighters and Grav/Hovercraft as they can cover the vast distances of the oceans easily
>Vessels range from the basic Patrol boats, to missile Cruisers to massive Carriers that can control swathes of ocean
>Joining the PDF is seen as a mark of pride on De’lormosa and a first step to joining the XIth Legion's Auxila forces, or even if one is young enough to join the Storm Riders

Of course my day off is when no one shows up for the quest

>>4719157
I'm here anon.
And I've liked everything you wrote so far.

Good Evening!

>>4719157
That's a good name. We are using it. And sorry, this new job has me really busy.

You walk up to the larger Cogitator bank, and you sense mana to it. You feel it, before you get to it. You know it works.

Like the other new machines that you have seen, it seems, well animate in a way.

You can feel the electricity running through it and you sense the motive of the machine. It wants to serve and be of service. It’s eager.

As you put your hand on it, and you try to sense for it, you realize, it recognizes you. Or at least senses that you recognize it. It’s fairly odd. It’s like an animal almost. As you feel along the machine the power almost directs you to a little switch that you flip on. When you do the bank makes a low noise, a whirring and you feel the electricity off the happy machine. The screen on the front boots up, and you realize that this machine, was meant for directing the security of the stonehall, as cameras come to life in various locations, some unseen. You also realize that it was designed to do something else.

This is not a hall of memory. It’s some sort of place of healing for the machine. This place was designed to fix and repair the knights. It has large facilities, and spare parts even. Though the parts are sparse, you see that there are many guides listed for fabrication and replacement. To your amazement there is even a guide called “improvisation.”

The Cogitator itself, is the most straightforward thing you have used so far. The machine has a simple input board where it’s type to function. The operating system, seems similar to the one on your pod. As you go through it, you can tell it hasn’t been used in a while. While you explore the use of it, you notice that it has access to records.

You also know that the machine is more than that.

The machine is controls for the repair systems.

This Cogitator is an active history of the knights.

Importantly, it is probably the most active list of technology and reverse engineering processes- another neat thing you learned from fabrication book- that you have found sense your pod.

As you look through the data, you notice that this has data on the GEVs, and how to repair them. This may prove useful to Meera.

“Meera.” You say and she looks over to you and you motion her over. She looks at it and her eyes widen. She moves excitedly and bounces up and down a little.

“This shows us how to fix our other GEV that we haven’t figured out! It also shows us how to upgrade it!” She says. You make a fist and extend your thumb and pinky and smile. Meera looks confused but nods.

You walk over to the table. It’s somehow powered.

You feel the mana of the table and- there is something more to it. There is spirit here. It’s excited that things are turning on.

>>4719177
Thank you

>>4719203
You look at some of the tools, they look like they are for repairing metal objects, and fabricating metal. The tools, they are old. But they feel reliable. They are not powered, sort of. They seem to be partially powered. Your charger could take care of them you think.

You follow the mana of the machine to a simple button hidden under the edge of the table. You press it.

Lights are revealed under the table and above the table, as it lights up to reveal a screen! The screen is made out of some transparent metal, and it was meant for aiding of creation of things. You could fabricate unique parts and tools, similar to the ones made here! It looks like this portion was made for making boats-- And your logic follows that means there is a way for boats to get in.

You follow the mana to a hidden switch nearby in an odd spot.

It lights up a small underwater alcove with a very unusual looking boat and a hidden door. That opens to the outside.

You haven’t seen a boat like this before. It looks- sunk. Like something is wrong with it, yet nothing appears wrong. Then it hits you. The warfare you studied. Naval tactics.

A submersible or semi submersible.

“Have you seen one of those before?” You ask and the stonewright shakes his head, as does Meera.

“I have no idea what one of those are.” Karlan says.

“I have an idea, but I may have to examine around it. See if it is what I think it is.” You say. It would be dangerous for them to go and look.

“I am not going to stop you friend Kolinaisi. But, that thing looks really old so be careful.” He says back.

You leap into the water and you swim around the vessel. It’s not huge. It’s not supposed to be. It looks like it was meant for scouting ahead, or from what you can tell, piracy. What is odd- is there is no marine life on it. None. You swim around it rapidly, and nothing. There is marine life around you, but there isn’t the tell tale sign of wear on this, not even a barnacle.

When you swim to the end of it, you cannot even find a propulsion method, however, where the stern and devices to steer are you see odd bits. This thing is very complex technology.

You swim out and leap on to the shore.

“I think it’s a submersible.” You say.

“What does that mean?” Meera asks

“It’s a boat. It goes under water and doesn’t sink. You have boats that float over water, but you have not heard of underwater boat?” You ask and Meera gives a shrug.

>>4719205
You go along the gangplank to walk up to the entrance hatch. You twist what looks like a simple door and it opens in a very similar manner to the shaman’s ship. Maybe he would be able to recognize this.

Inside the lighting is on. You can fit comfortably inside with how big the interior is, which is odd. Considering the small bit on submersible craft was that they were cramped. However, this craft looks like it was meant for only a small crew, so less floors. You find simple quarters, various rooms housing what looks like some kind of internal propulsion method, an engine, weapons, a small social room and a small deck, with steering controls and machines, eager to work. You are tempted to turn things on. However, you can sense they work, but you don’t want to pilot a submersible without even piloting a boat.

It would be kind of funny to captain a ship Jera hasn’t before being on his crew though. You laugh a little at the thought. You exit up quickly.

“It looks functional down there.” You say and the few men there shrug but Meera looks eager to look inside and Karlan nods.

After a few minutes of you waiting near the hatch Meera re-emerges.

“It’s old tech like the GEVS. I think we could find someone who has been on a boat before to pilot it.”

“Well Kolinaisi, you have been on the island for less than a day, and your greatest gift is not what you brought, but whatever luck you have brought with you.” Karlan says with a chuckle. Though to be quite fair, he is right.

These things alone would help their village as much as the old man’s star boat helps yours.

“Well hopefully my luck continues on with our alliance and we are able to do more for others.” You say and you hear a few grunts of agreement.

Yeah that's me. Is the way I order the marines that recognasible?

Hopefully our Legion can get their hands on a good number of termies, preferably Tartaros-pattern, before the Heresy kicks off.

>>4720544
Yeah
>>4720547
I've always been partial to the Cataphractii myself

>>4720591
It looks cool for sure, but it wasn't a loss of technology that caused it to be phased out of service after the Heresy.

>>4720603
True,

Also I'm tryign to figure out a blurb on Grav Boad Honour Guard for Kolinaisi, but I can't get over how silly it is.

>>4720630
Maybe compromise and have them be on Landspeeders, the variant that usually carries a squad of Scouts? It's still a Grav vehicle, and gives them a good deal of mobility. Plus it'd be good flavour to use flying transports instead of the default trackmania.

>>4720630
Instead of assault bikes and jump packs, the storm riders use highly specialised surfboards.

>>4720734
I'd rather they be supplementary to bikes and speeders and be in the hands of Vets/Honour Guard. But I think only Kolinaisi can get away with riding one into battle because you know, Primarch.
>>4720732
I can see that,

While I'm thinking of the Grav Board idea, here's a blurb on the Legion's Mana/Bio-Electricity

>Mana/"Mark of the Storm"
>An odd mutation found in the Storm Riders that only occured after being reunited with their Primarch, for there had been no known examples of this shown before reunification
>Obviously, one could compare it to the Bio-Lightning performed by Psykers of the XVth or Auxila Primaris Psykers, and there are tests and examinations that show it is partly Psychic in nature
>However, despite this relation the Librarians of the Storm Riders do not seem to develop Biomancy more heavily or commonly than is to be expected
>Possibly the most famous use of this mutation can be seen in both the Apothecar Marines and Tech Marines, the former for its use to stabilizing a patient and the latter for beign one of the closest one can get ot the ever elusive "Technopathy"
>Such an ability has earned the XIth no small amount of Envy from the Iron Hands, Iron Warriors and the Tech Priests of Mars

Good Evening!

Sorry I took so long, this update is longer.
--

“Meera, Karlan and I are going to scout ahead briefly, then come back and see what else there is.” You say.

She gives the Shaka

Good on her.

You explore the nearby tunnels, to no real avail. Just looks like good storage.
So you go over to nearby stairs.
Which oddly leads to a room, that seems set up to be some kind of, free time room?

Leisure room?

Break Room?

There are hundreds of books though. Many. In fact, this would probably be some sort of library, if there weren’t so many odd things that indicated dining and resting as well.

Karlan sits in one of the chairs and he looks quite pleased.

You grab a few books as your shoal stoat bounds out of your bag and decides to hunt down a nearby mouse. You shrug as you look through the books, some on poetry, some on technology, a few on war. So you grab whatever is interesting. Including a few on history.

You even find, a larger waterproof bag. Which impresses you enough that you take it.

Karlan then stops.

“No way.” He says.

“What?” You ask.

“In all the stories I have ever read about places like this there is usually some kind of hidden book that leads to a secret compartment. But it doesn’t look like anything.” He says.

So you reach out and look for mana with your senses. You, don’t sense any triggers or trap doors. It’s just a plain room. So you shake your head.

He then finds a very large book and opens it.

“What you find friend?”

“I found their family registry. Or at least this branch of the knights. It may have some clues to where they went.” He says as he picks it up.

The pair of you, after looking at the various gadgets and trinkets in the room leave back to the main hall.

“Find anything?” Meera asks

“Books!” You respond.

“That’s something. I have studied most the things here, there may be a bit more to research if you want Kolinaisi, but it’s going to be a long night. There is decades of data on this table, and some of these things I have trouble understanding.” She says and you nod and come over.

Then you understand why.

>>4720828
It’s all theory books. Most of these are incredibly advanced for her. However, most of these seem like they are attached to a journal of Brother Alfraed Magis a Barron.

Apparently the Barron thought it was pertinent to find, recover, and teach as much information and techonology as possible, and tried to upload everything from every aspect of production on to this table, and the manual how to do it. He also left a hard copy tome, called the – unpronounceable word tome. The spelling is stupid and it hurts you when you look at it. The machine spirit instinctively dims to not cause a headache.

That is new.

This machine spirit responds to your moods instinctively while you are touching it. Curious. It’s Mana and yours are cooperating.

So you see if there is a way to transfer the huge data load to the data slate and it’s impossible. There is just not enough space and the table holds much more data.

To think! All the technology that could help you bring your tribe, all these tribes to competition with the slavers, is on this table. Well most of it. Looking through it, this and the old mans data would probably help out considerably.

“Kolinaisi!” Meera says and you stop what you are looking at.

“Yes?” You ask with a smile

“The table has more data than we can possibly go over in a night.” She says and you feel confused. You just poured over the data. Maybe she means examine it. Because that would be true.

“Meera, I already gave it a basic go over. We need to both have many people learn from this table.” You say and she looks confused.

“What? Why?” She asks

“I went through the data. There is much here on restoring, retaining and rebuilding technology. It shows a good method from going to point a to point b and so forth. Or so it seems. There are many missing pieces.” You say and her eyes go wide

“You just went over all that?” Meera asks.

“Yes.” You say and she just looks at you.

“The tribal surfer.”

“Tribal Surfer Big Man.” You correct her with a smile.

“The Tribal Surfer Big Man. Is able to understand advanced technology. When they live on an island without any base for electricity.” She says.

“Any base for electricity yet!” You say with a smile.

> Omnissiah’s wayward son
_________________________________

“Many people ask, what the different aspects of the primarchs where to the emperor. Kolinaisi, it depends on who you ask. You ask Malcador, he would say he had the humor and spirit of the Emperor. Any agent of the Mechanicus and he would be the Primarch representation of the Omnissiah with his empathy and understanding of machines. You ask some of his brothers, and the answers would vary, that he was big on nature, that he is calm like the eye of the hurricane he rode in on. He had friends. Many friends. Many would account to this to the fact, he had a very normal upbringing for a primarch. One like a regular human for his time. If you had to ask me though. The lord of lightining had a son of the storm and I was always happy to call him brother.”

Primarch of the __ Legion

“So Old Man. You do this because the village was kind to you, and Kolinasi asked you.” Rawhiri asks sitting down with the other big men, writing notes and putting things to a tablet.

“He gave me an extension on life. He also always brought me good fish and weird things I thought interesting.” The Old Man says pointing out a few different things

“So what is this supposed to do for us?” Chief Kai asks

“Well, for each island and region, you all have different options for power supplies, this with junk searched for and provided by Jera, should give you all power and electricity.” The Old Man says

“We don’t want to grow soft though. Power, electricity- these make men weak.” Chief Eterea says pointing out.

“No. They don’t. They can provide comfort. But man is the only thing that can make a man weak. You use these tools, to help defend. Help save lives. Yes, it may seem like weakness at first, but it can also bring strength. Strength of mind.” The old man says and Chief Ravi stood up

“You give us power, but what we need are guns. We need more than just our melee weapons, and we need everything when the real slavers come. Not these raiders. I have fought back the raiders time and time again. But the true slavers- they worry me. With my son, I am not so worried. But if the slavers come before Jera Green Eyes here comes back, we all dead men.” Ravi says

“No. You will not be. You will stand a chance if we do this right.” The Old Man says

“Old Man- what is your name. You never say it. You say oh I am just some old man, or you’d call me a shaman. How can I trust the future of my people, to a man that I don’t even know their name.” Jera says.

“Back home, they called me Doctor Martin Longorian. I came from an area that was known as the pan pacific. In particular, my old home was known as Maui.”

“Well Docta, fix us up, before we all to dead to be fixed.” Rawhiri says causing a laugh

>>4720833
“So I have written down what we need to go over, what data needs to be transferred, and I am hope I am saying these terms right as I have only recently learned these terms, the yottaflop coggitator output bank which they will be going to.” You say pointing to the largest coggitator bank

“I, am impressed that you did all this, but do you think you can actually do this all in a night?” Meera asks.

“Well I will need to feed my shoal stoat. Though I may go get some fish and squid from that pool near the submersible I may need a snack too. So I might have time for a nap so I can surf in the morning.” You say

“What about the other girls who are going with you? The other witches?” Meera says

This is a good pointing

Pick one

> Have them come here and talk to them while you are doing this
> Go meet them first, then get the data you need to help your people
> Have them arrive at dawn, then go surf, maybe invite them to come
> Go to the witches village, ask those who wish to volunteer to talk to you, then go surf, take an early nap then go finish up before leaving
> Write in

We have to get there first. But I like the Cataphractii too.

>>4720840
What a coincidence huh?
>>4720834
> Have them arrive at dawn, then go surf, maybe invite them to come
Study first, then we can talk to them on equal grounds, or waves in this case

>>4720834
> Write in
> Finish up here, take a nap then go to the witches village, ask those who wish to volunteer to talk to you.
I don't feel going to surf is so important right now. We can do it if/when we visit them again which, as they seem to have important facilities for our future army, is highly likely.

Where did all these rakes come from?

>>4720834
>have them talk to us while we are working

>>4720834
> Have them come here and talk to them while you are doing this
If they dislike how we pour over the technology, than they wouldn't fit with us anyway.
>>4720840
Thanks old man. Or is it doctor now?

By the way this is the symbol I used for the tanks. Consider it my vote for the official Storm Riders Symbol.
So here's it in Banner form.

>Armor Marks of the XIth Legion-The Storm Riders
>From the Unification of Terra to the Heresy
>MK I (Thunder): The Storm Riders still possess at least 3 known examples of this truly anent armor. All are held for ceremonial duties, particularly for the initiation of new inducted Astartes
>MK II/III (Crusade/Iron): The most common and favored pattern of armor owing to its long history and improved performance in aquatic conditions compared to other marks
>Mk IV (Maximus): Due to interference of the Arch Traitor Horus, the Legion was not able to come into possession of many of this mark with the majority being allocated to the Tech Marines and Veterans
>MK V (Heresy): Oddly, this mark has been found in oddly high numbers of the Legion whether by accident, scavenging or modifications as the Heresy sapped resources
>MK VI (Corvus): Owing more to operational doctrines of the XIth, very few examples of this mark can be found in the armories of the Storm Riders, with all known examples finding their way into Seeker Squads or Recon Groups

I never did understand why the Corvus armour is designated as MK VI, when it was given to the Raven Guard for field trials before the Heresy, and should therefore predate the MK V "Heresy" armour.

>The De’lormosan Compact/Concordant
>The Compact/Concordant was formed post reunification with the Imperium after Primarch Kolinaisi was reunited with his Sire, the Emperor of Mankind
>Originally the Compact was located within the sole De’lormosan system, but surveys in the surrounding systems/subsector showed the areas to be remarkably either underpopulated or simply empty of sapient life, Human or Xenos
>Those Humans that were found to exist were typically no more than a Civilized level (Late M2-Early M3 in Tech level)
>Primarch Kolinaisi took advantage of this and sought to stake claims on these systems and colonize them, bringing in the Humans that already existed into the fold, uplifting them and merging cultures
>By the Heresy, approximately 10 systems were being colonized to a sufficient level with immigrants being made up of both De’lormosan and Imperial standard from all manner of cultures
