  • I love that even a Primarch could not realize that they’re speaking out loud.
  • There’s a grim sadness to Dorn and Valdor it may be the first time that they aren’t being professional but rather more open and introspective into what this war has turned them into. They were made to build a future a united empire, but here they are facing against the dying of the light against the worst of humanity. Valdor is more grim as he states that while dorn’s task thought hard is temporary his task protecting the emporer will never truely end. Depressing

    How terrible that Valdor's hope did not come to pass, even he could not see the vastness of what would be lost.
  • @FerreusVir
    Hearing Valdor speak of hope is so refreshing, he truly was/is the Emperor's greatest son.

    This has to be one of the saddest scene in a Warhammer book.
  • @ArgosRho-gh6sc
    This scene got me. Ngl I forgot how I had cried about this. I had a moment like this in my life and idk how to phrase it but this scene covered it and I was taken to that memory and I don’t understand how

    I find it funny and tragic how similiar Perty and Dorn were in this matter. They both wanted to do something more than war. Dorn however got a true taste of how it is to do something else, to build , upgrade and achieve. Perturabo? He knew only war , attrition and failure..
  • @j.tastic9132
    The thing is, this is the conversation that proves just how human they are. Even if for just a moment, they relax and let their guards down, and reflect on what a life of war has done to them.
  • I wonder if perhaps maybe the statement of dorn only ever being a warrior reflects on what he's doing now maybe The praetorian is learning those nuisances of culture and everything he wished to be maybe he'll come back an even better man and warrior because of it probably not but :)

    I want to say a comment regarding Valdor, but I don't know if you have read or spoiled yourself on the latest Eisenhorn book. Please reply at your own discretion
