The Lion: Son of the Forest (Warhammer 40,000)

Product Information

Retrocede y se encamina por nuevos lugares, puede que la realidad que vive no sea como la recuerda. I want you to picture something. You're young and just got your first job. Why? Because you plan of saving up for your dream car, a luxury vehicle. You dream about this car all the time, slaving away at your job for YEARS, until finally, you can barley just afford it. Zabriel has to wait until nightfall to show the Lion the Great Rift and explain that it will stop him from trying to reach Terra. Apparently, you can only use "they" and "ze/zir" to refer to techpriests in Warhammer 40,000 now. Out of the two tech priests that are in this book, one is referred to as "they" and the other is referred to using a neo-pronoun (although the former case has shown up in books like Mechanicum, but for a good reason). If you do not know what a neo-proun is... well... let's just say that even some leftists disagree with their existence. They are, essentially, a way to affirm someone's mental illness... Flaming Hair: Seraphax's most notable trait is his hair (and half his face) being permanently on fire.

Even had that Star Wars dark cave motif with the shades of his brothers, loyalist and traitor, putting him through the wringer. La historia transcurre en el milenio 40 de este universo, ahora el Leon ha despertado y se encuentra completamente desorientado tanto por su falta de memoria como por el lugar que se encuentra, en unos bosques le son familiares, sólo puede seguir sus instintos y su capacidad de razón. Brooks getting the writing job for Lion El'Johnson's 40k return novel reassures me this is going to be a ripping read, based off his previous work: The Lion. Son of the Emperor, brother of demigods and Primarch of the Dark Angels. Awakened. Returned. And yet... lost. The plot will see the Lion confronting “a formidable Chaos warband led by one of his traitorous sons”, and will lead the Lion to “rally his Fallen knights”. That’s a massive shakeup to the lore: the Fallen were separatist Space Marines within the Dark Angels legion who rebelled against the Imperium of Man during the Horus Heresy, and have spent the 10,000 years since on the lamb. You’ll need to read a lot of Horus Heresy books to decide exactly where their loyalties lie.Warhammer Community: What was it like getting to write about such a historically important character as the Lion in the moment of his grand return?

Heroic Self-Deprecation: The Lion, surprisingly enough. He considers himself a failure to the Emperor, his brothers, and the Dark Angels; he ponders that it should've been him who died and one of his brothers who lived; he even believes he has declined as a fighter, although to anyone without his super-human reflexes, he appears as deadly as ever. This novel had such a hopeful tone, it seems odd. Even the way Camarth will eventually get done in the story omits most of the explicit grimdark. Like watching a forest fire on the other side of the mountains, as opposed to being in the midst of it. Internal Reveal: There are aspects of the setting that the Warhammer 40K audience will be familiar with, but which are new to the characters.

Completely changed Lion. Total Maturity and Perspective Lion. Methinks what is left unwritten is that Lion was conscious or Lucid for some of that 10k, and gained some insight, or perhaps lived entire lives. The resentment is there, sure, but this Lion again is FOCUSED on the well being of what is left, gathering what can be saved, redeeming what can, purging what cannot, simply moving forward. This is NobleBright Lion. Meanwhile, Zabriel arrives in a beleagured star system to find a pair of Fallen who have taken command of the one still-occupied planet, trying to protect the mortals there. They agree to join Lion's fledgling proctorate to ensure the people under their care are safe, and inform Zabriel that there is a third Fallen around, a hermit who forsworn fighting. En el proceso de investigar se encuentra a una figura, un rey pescador rodeado criaturas acuáticas oscuras que buscan algo, y algo sabe el Leon, él no le teme a nada, pero esas bestias, no le gusta estar cerca de ellas. Azrael isn’t the only Chapter Master given the Primaris treatment – Commander Dante has barely tied a bow on the apocalyptic invasion of Baal and he’s already off finding more enemies of the Imperium to destroy. Someone really needs to give the guy a holiday. Vashtorr the Arkifane

While Roboute Guilliman’s reawakening was announced with the Eye of Terror bisecting the galaxy, Lion El'Jonson’s return almost went unheard. Even the name of this novel is low key… Son of the Forest, seriously? Yet as someone who read the three part Gathering Storm, this is a significantly superior narrative that introduces the Dark Imperium-era, as well as offers long time fans deep insight into a Founding Chapter.There are shades of old Lion in him. Such as during the first fight against the Not-Chaos Beast, he imperiously throws his gore-clogged helmet to the people he dived in to save, commanding them first to stay out of the way, and second, clean my helmet. During a fight. That's our lovable bastard. The old King in the woods is heavily inferred to be the Emperor, damn deus-ex-machina voice Watcher-in-the-Darks. At the dawn of the Imperium of Man, there was no force more deadly nor more loyal to the Emperor than the Dark Angels, the first Legion of Space Marines. Led by their implacable and unstoppable Primarch and genefather, Lion El’Johnson, better known as the Lion, nothing was able to stop the Dark Angels as they crusaded from planet to planet dispensing the Emperor’s will. However, following the events of the Horus Heresy and the Lion’s inability to save the Emperor, the Dark Angels imploded from within. Treachery and years of resentment saw the Legion engage in a brutal and sudden civil war, which resulted in the destruction of the Dark Angel’s home world of Caliban, the scattering of the traitor Dark Angels throughout time and space as the Fallen, and the disappearance and apparent death of the Lion right when the galaxy needed him most. Aborted Arc: Early in the book, the Lion and Zabriel stumble upon the Thousand Eyes experimenting on captured space marines, and Baelor's first two point-of-view chapters mention that Seraphax has been trying to forcibly trigger the Blood Angel's Red Thirst. As soon as the Thousand Eyes learn about the Lion's survival, this plot is abandoned as Seraphax changes his plans to account for the sudden appearance of a Primarch.

For me, the part of quote from him regarding failing the Emperor and his brothers means he's looking at his actions of the past as being the failure, that by going off to destroy the homeworlds of the traitors was futile, destroying Caliban was the result of his previous approach. Feeling Their Age: The Lion notices after fighting that he's slower than he remembers and interrogates a surviving enemy about what curse they put on him. The bemused Chaos Marine, who just saw Lion kill a squad of Chaos Terminators in thirty seconds, tells him bluntly that there's no curse, he's just old. This is evidently relative as he still moves faster than Chaos Space Marines can even react. It also becomes apparent that this is more about the Lion shaking off his long slumber and getting used to fighting in realspace again.

And the Lion risks himself not as Guilliman would on a Practical Gambit, such as what would draw out Mortarion. This is Plan A, B, and Z.
