Editing Legion of Everblight (section)

==<i>Cherchez La Femme</i> and the Birth of the Legion==
So, a bunch of other shit happens and Everblight's athanc winds up on top of a mountain in the far north.  Fortunately for our protagonist there are a bunch of nomadic winter elves (the Nyss) nearby, who are similar enough to their Iosan kin that Everblight's several hundred years of studying [[An Eldar's Ears|elf ears]] might still bear fruit.  Around this time a mentally "suitable" [[ogrun]] happens to be near Everblight's resting place: Everblight manages to dominate the ogrun's thoughts, compelling him to climb the mountain, break the container holding the dragon's athanc, and then carve open his chest with a fucking skinning knife and jam the huge dragon-rock right into his heart.  By all accounts this was not a pleasant experience, but at the end of it the ogrun Thagrosh descends the mountain, his new god riding shotgun in his chest.

As Everblight plots his next move he and Thagrosh are approached by the Nyss sorceress Vayl.  Vayl's talent for divination has predicted the dragon's coming, and she has come to destroy him before the prophecies bear frui--I'm just messing with you, she sells her people up the fucking river in exchange for power.  With Vayl's help, many of the Nyss are unwittingly corrupted and join the fold: those that aren't are either killed, captured and then subsequently "blessed", or are sent running south as fast as they can, their [[God-Emperor of Mankind|weak, invalid god]] of winter in tow.  While free, Everblight chooses not to return to his "original" flesh: his siblings are looking for the kind of easy meal a regenerating dragon provides, and besides that there's work to be done...
