The Graven Star

The Graven Star are one of hundreds of Chapters of the forces of the XVII legion, formerly the Imperial Heralds, now the Word Bearers. A seething cauldron of internicine conflict and murderous hate for the Imperium at large and the Sons of Gulliman in particular. In this case the Cobalt Scions.

Leaders of the Graven Star

Chaos Lord Daroth Khoura

Lord Khoura has led the Graven Star since the former Lord, Verok Ennat, ascended to Daemonhood. He has led the Graven Star ably and ferociously, but now it is clear to everyone that the end is coming. He is walking the path to glory and is beginning the intense fleshchange that presages either apotheosis or spawndom. With the words of his Sorcerer, Orcus Kairon, in his ear he has seen the Eridani sub-sector as the kindling for the bonfire of souls that will propel him to the ultimate prize of all ambitious servants of Chaos. In practice he is increasingly steered by Kairon as the whisperings of the warp and changes in his brain blind him to anything but the spreading of Chaos.

Chaos Sorcerer Orcus Kairon

A true Colchesian through and through, Orcus Kairon studied the ways of sorcery and the Old Gods of Colchesis before he was ever elevated to the status of Space Marine. Intially serving in the Librarius division he willingly embraced the Heresy and both saw Monarchia's fall and Calth's murder. While never truly a part of the Graven Star, he has been attached to them for some time. Now, of course, he has his Grand Design. Seeing the path that Khoura was on, he selected a likely Imperial sector and directed his Lord to a massive raid. The intention being to light a fire of souls sufficient to elevate his titular leader to Daemonhood. With Kairon right there, listening, to learn the True Name of a new birthed Daemon Prince. Of course, there's always a plan b... if Khoura succumbs to total fleshchange, well, there's always Kairon's protege Nar Merenkar to back in the coming power struggle and start again...
