Editing Pale Hounds (section)

==Pre-Primarch History & Reunion==
The years before the Pale Hounds were united with their gene-sire were difficult ones for the legion. At first, the Hounds were a stolid and dependable group, fighting valiantly for the Emperor and the Imperium. However, this changed over the years. As the Primarchs of other legions were discovered, and their own remained notable only by his absence, fear settled within the hearts of the Hounds. Fear that their Primarch had not been revealed to them as they were unworthy of him. The accursed – those Hounds whose Betcher’s Glands had mutated and were overactive to the point of killing the marine – were seen as proof of this.

And so, the Hounds fought harder, seeking greater foes and greater glory, all to prove themselves worthy of their Primarch. This led them into contention with their fellow legions, as they would often eschew aid from others whilst also providing it unasked for and unwanted. Thus, the rifts that would one day isolate the legion from all but a handful of their fellows were first formed. As the decades passed and the master of the Hounds remained lost, their hope dimmed, their tactics grew reckless, and their legion shrank in number, suffering greater and greater casualties with every campaign.

This all ended one day, when word reached the legion of the rediscovery of a new Primarch. So long had the Hounds been without their own that they didn’t dare to hope or even think of hoping that their long wait might be over. That they might finally be worthy. But word travelled fast, and revealed the truth.

This Primarch was named Valorn Adras.

And he was theirs.
