Warhammer Inquisitor

The role of this article is to explain some problems about Loken. I believe everyone has discovered that I have rewritten and modified Loken’s story. Today’s article hopes to explain a little bit without occupying the update, so that Readers understand why I am rewriting.

First of all, I will explain my consistent position, don’t pursue the so-called “official Warhammer novel setting”. If there is one thing that GW does not change, it will not eat books, that is, GW does not have any official novel setting concept. The Black Library is a collective creation, and there is no so-called official plot at all.

Different authors may completely contradict each other when writing a book, and it is not uncommon for the plot to be reversed. Among them, the emperor is the worst one. He is constantly jumping between the evil tyrant and the whole human being. Whether or not to kill the Primarch and Space Marines after the Crusade is also contradictory.

For example, in "Master of Men", it is said that the Emperor is preparing to kill the Space Marines and Primarchs like the Thunder Warriors, but in the latest "Horus Heresy" series, it has become that the Emperor gave each son They all built the palace and prepared to retire with them after the expedition.

Both are officially produced novels, but they have completely opposite opinions on the same thing, and GW has never made any official identification of this kind of issue, so I always advocate not to pursue the so-called official authoritative content of Warhammer, because there is no such thing at all.

I know that some readers will say "Doesn't GW also have queen authors?" Yes, the black library does have some "official authors" who have been responsible for writing books for a long time, but the most classic example is the notorious "Blue Ancestor" "The bunch of magical content written during Matt Ward's time, such as Calgar holding a necromancer tower and smashing people, and Sicarius killing the star god with a grenade, are from the official author.

And after Matt Ward left, George Kellan, who took over, overturned quite a few of Matt's settings, and simply ate the book. Both of them are official authors, but this is the characteristic of GW, so I hope everyone can understand this.

For example, some readers said before that I put the hive gang's firepower too strong, but in fact the hive gang's firepower has been strengthened by the epic level. Melting, plasma and all kinds of bombs are running all over the ground. Please remember that this is the hive gang in the officially authorized game, so this is not me "messing around" but the official "Yes, but this is also the norm for GW.

Similar things happened to the Astral Army before. The previous big head also had no tanks, no artillery, and a group of militia-like poor wretches, but the rewritten by George Kelan has direct firepower. More than ten times, it has become a torrent of steel and cannons washing the ground, so don't pursue the so-called "unchanged settings"

Warhammer has never set this statement in an official novel. GW will sell expensive plastic villains to death. They know a shitty Warhammer (convinced)

Therefore, my principle and proposition have always been that, on the premise of not exceeding the Warhammer framework and maintaining the hammer flavor, the author should combine his own ideas, designs and propositions to write a good story, instead of blindly pursuing authoritative rigor , I say without exaggeration that the official itself has nothing to do with rigorous authority, and we authors don't need to write novels as papers.

——

After a lot of talking, let's talk about Loken's problem. I hope everyone has understood what I mean, then I will specifically talk about why I rewrote Loken's story.

The biggest BUG of Loken’s story is that in the third book of the Horus Rebellion series, the final ending in the burning galaxy, it is clearly written in the book after Loken narrowly escaped after fighting Abaddon , it was Loken lying on the ruins looking up at the second orbital bombardment of the rebel fleet above his head, and then the story ended.

A huge question arises here, why did Loken not only survive after that? In the later story, he was discovered and rescued by Captain Jia Luo who returned to Istfan. Remember the previous content? Loken didn't die after the orbital bombing while lying on a piece of bare ruins without any cover?

As for Saul Tarvitz, who was also on Isstvan, he and the loyalists around him were in the cathedral, in a church that had a bunker and had not collapsed after two or three months of shelling. Did they all return to the throne after the bombing? All the people with bunkers died, but Loken, who was bombed without a bunker, survived. Neither the author of the book nor GW gave any reasonable explanation.

If you have to explain it, it means that the emperor appeared. It belongs to the typical GW-style forced planning and narrative logic. I think this kind of behavior is both stupid and treats readers as fools. I think my readers are smart people, so I rejected this kind of behavior. A logical rewrite was made to force the way of interpretation.

I rewrote it to say that Estefan was also onlookers at Traasin at that time. We all know that Traasin has the habit of watching major historical events in the Milky Way and taking away souvenirs. So Estefan betrayed this kind of thing that is most important to the entire galaxy. This is an important historical turning point, and it seems reasonable for Traasin to go to watch and collect souvenirs.

As Loken is a legendary figure and the last Shadow Moon Wolf, it is very reasonable for Traasin to teleport him away and put him into the Endless Museum at the last moment, because he later put Creed in the same way on Cadia. The owner of the castle was taken away, and he took him away very quickly at the last moment of the explosion.

So I rewrote this story to say that when Loken was facing the final death, Tarasin shot and took away Loken just before the orbital bombardment fell, so that Loken got rid of the fate of death. I think this The setting is much more reasonable than "The Appearance of the Emperor". I don't know what everyone thinks.

In addition, the ending of Loken in the original book is also very fascinating. Loken’s only appearance in the battle of Terra is to hack the little Horus Asimander to death. I will not talk about the character of Asimander The sense of presence is extremely low, not even as good as Captain Torgaton, and this episode also seems very inexplicable.

At that time on Terra, there were a lot of people with names and surnames who could kill Asimander. It was not necessary for Loken to break the rationality of the plot and forcibly appear on Terra. That is to say, Loken was behind There is no need in the story, and even the author himself didn't mention much about Loken except for killing Aximander.

Loken's ending is also tiger-headed and tiger-brained. After the great rebellion, Loken's ending is actually not clear at all. The so-called Loken became the founder of the Gray Knights, which was only hinted at in the "Horus Heresy" series, but in In another Black Library novel "Deeply Buried Dagger", Loken rejected the emperor's appointment and traveled with Captain Galo on a boat with public funds. The final ending was to sail to the sea of ​​stars, And then it's over.

(The embarrassing thing is that according to the content of the Horus rebellion, the emperor was already sitting on the toilet and could not speak, so how he met the emperor and chatted with the emperor is still a mystery. Psychic communication? Remember Can the emperor's psychic communication kill people other than the Primarch?)

Of course, I can start writing from here, such as what happened to Loken and Galo, and finally arrived at Traasin, but I think it is more smooth and reasonable to rewrite directly from Estefan, and it was finally decided that way. It can also avoid a bunch of unreasonable plots behind.

Therefore, the statement that Loken is the founder of the Gray Knight is purely false, and you can explain it in any way, because there is no consensus on this issue in any novel, so I did not believe in this method, but made my own understanding and adapted.

This is why I rewrote Loken's story and adapted it according to my own logic. I hope everyone can understand. Welcome to continue reading, and thank you for your support.

I know some friends are going to ask, "What about Tarwiz? Did he also go away because of the figure king?"

For this answer, I use a sentence that the protagonist often likes to say, "If things are revealed in advance, what surprises are there?"

Finally, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation, ask for a subscription, thank you everyone.
