'''Secret Societies and Brotherhoods'''

the belief and ingrained sense of unity and group initiative - everyone is included in planning, weighing in there own observations and experiences to the plan - even if the final decision is that of the highest ranking officer, ever had a chance to have their say. In this everyone is included in the plan, and has an idea of the bigger picture, allowing individual units to make judgement calls on events as they unfold, thus allowing them to react in a way that improves the strategic situation for the Children in the bigger picture.

Of course, with the Children it could never be that simple, and the intelligence supplied to the Children's units is always exactly what they needed to know, and little more. It wouldn't be surprising to discover that the Children's predilection for deception extends to their own units, who are fed lies to make them act in the desired manner, but this is just conjecture, as everything about the Children is suspect of being a fabrication.
This seems to be tacitly understood by the Children, who follow their commanders regardless of any real or perceived duplicity; perhaps they do this through their ingrained sense of unified action, or maybe they are just fanatically loyal to Uriel, and the Children's cause, whatever it may be.

==The Eldar Connection==

The legions bitter hatred for/rivarly with the Eldar.

Seeing them as the Imperiums more dangerous threat due to all the manipulation they do, using orks etc as pawns. 
The Children seek to challenge them, starting (from the Childrens POV at least) a galactic war, akin to Regicide.

Black Library heard about through interrogation after the Childrens regular combats with the Eldar yielded prisoners. One being a farseer or harlequin? Or just a normal eldar ranger who has heard of the BL but knows very little else.
