Nostramo's sunless streets raised a judge with no mercy in him. The Night Haunter's justice worked — that was the horror of it.
The tribes of Baal knelt to an angel of the rad-wastes. I will write once, and never again, whose hands touched his cradle as it fell.
The Gorgon of Medusa, whose bare hands ran with living silver. 'I do not claim worlds,' he said. 'I conquer them.'
The only son who said no. The Emperor took him anyway, and left his army to die on the mountain. Judge the whole Heresy after you have read this one.
Macragge's adopted son did not just conquer worlds — he made them work. His brothers sneered 'bureaucrat'. Five hundred worlds disagreed.
He climbed Barbarus's poisoned peaks to kill the last warlord — and fell short. What the Emperor finished that day, the son never forgave.
On Prospero the Crimson King knelt at once — and saved his dying Legion with a sentence. The rest of his tragedy came later.

He conquered Colchis with a holy war before his father ever arrived — then knelt to a god who wanted no worship. The Crusade's slowest son, and its most devout.
