=History of the Gorgers Legion= To the primitive mindset, the whole picture of the past is not required. Only that which is truly worth remembering is. The Gorgers honor the memory of past hunts in displays of veneration during battle. Sometimes the Gorgers will speak or sing of the deeds of those fallen during feasts, or make endless boasts to surpass the achievements of those who have long past into legend. Through this extensive oral recording, members of the 17th Legion during its tutelage beneath Nathanog and even to its inglorious state among the despondent Warbands of the Eye, their history will always survive. ==The First Hunters== The members of the 17th Squad of the Sacred Band can be best described as over eager to meet in combat, and largely unresponsive to the teachings given to them by Hektor. Little of what the First Primarch taught them stuck, as they merely focused on meeting into battle. During the Pacification of the Merica Hives, several members broke away from their squad striking out alone. This behavior was not limited merely to them, as it was soon shown across the entirety of the Legion. During the Great Crusade, or '''Long Hunt''' as it was codified later, many would break up from their squads. Striking out alone along the chaotic battlefield facing foes without assistance. The rabid bloodlust displayed by these Astartes led to them being dubbed "the ''Blood Knights''" by Thomas Gaudin himself. There are no notable campaigns or victories held by the Blood Knights, usually suffering major casualties as the result of careless conduct during engagements. It was not a secret that many of the Blood Knights lamented about their unruly nature, due to them confiding in others about the nature of their plight. The Sacred Band many times asked Hektor to help them with the curse, but the Primarch was unable to. Roman Albrecht grew frustrated at their lack of ability to learn, attempting to approach them as regular Astartes when they were very much afflicted by irritation as a side effect of their geneseed. Many of the Gorgers had been picked up from the relatively primitive state of Albia, giving them experienced warriors but rather dim forces which were only hurt by the inherent genetic lack of anything not having to do directly with warfare. ==The Pack Leader== The coming of Nathanog was a blessing to the battered Legion. The Blood Knights were quickly renamed after a kind of ancient Thorund-ul demons, a breed of megafauna which were the first to be culled by Nathanog. The Gorgers, who were great beasts who ripped apart all in their path only being destroyed by the efforts of some hundred warriors. The Legion was barely ten thousand strong, but thanks to Nathanog's guidance and the new recruiting base they enjoyed renewed vigor and success. At last a leader was presented to them who understood their primal need to kill and eat, giving them training thinking along these lines same as Nath had done in the many years ago to the wild child lost in the forests. ==The Long Hunt== ==A Black Feast==
