=====[[Dark Angels]]===== *Ezekiel and other Librarians on the Rock are struck by a psychic vision where [[Luther]] had built an entire Legion on Caliban, and had survived the planet's destruction, leading them to believe there are far more [[Fallen]] than they ever knew about ''(somewhat reconciling old and new fluff, where originally the Fallen numbered hundreds, now there are thousands)''. *The Rock gets invaded by a daemonic army led by the [[Daemon Prince]] Marbas, a former [[Fallen Angels|Fallen Angel]]. The conflict envelops the asteroid base but seemingly serves no purpose other than to cause carnage. Azrael later finds that [[Luther]] has disappeared from his cell, realising that the attack was only a diversion. Because no one else in the chapter or the entire Unforgiven knows about Luther's survival, he keeps it to himself. *Considering how bad things are looking for the Dark Angels now that their darkest secret of all is missing and having recently suffered massive losses after they and several Unforgiven Chapters were ambushed on the world of Darkmor, Azrael orders an emergency summit of ALL of the Unforgiven Grand Masters ''(a lot of dudes, whole chapters get lost in the warp just trying reach it)'', but [[Roboute Guilliman]] crashes the party. His fears of an imminent judgement against the Unforgiven are put aside when he finds out that Guilliman has arrived to deliver Primaris reinforcements, as opposed to censure about their actions. So the majority of the Unforgiven get their Primaris Marines at exactly the same time. **Guilliman also grants permission to the Unforgiven to continue using the [[Deathwing]] and [[Ravenwing]] in their structure in recognition of their service to the Emperor. *Generally being hostile to the newcomers, the Inner Circle haven't seen fit to share the secret of the Fallen with their Primaris reinforcements yet (with the exception of their Librarians who are already rare enough and undergo the most stringent of testing anyway, plus they can, you know, read minds), mostly because they haven't gone through the same indoctrinations or heard the same apocryphal tales that the rest of the chapter have. While it is likely one of them will be found worthy of joining the Deathwing eventually, the newcomers only know the sanitized version of their history for now. **Of course, it's entirely possible to give your [[Crunch|Primaris Master <Deathwing> keyword and Inner Circle ability via Inner Circle stratagem]], so [[Your_dudes|you can write your own fluff]] **While many of the new Primaris marines have served the chapter long enough to reach Veteran status, ''(see the new Lieutenant complete with bathrobe)'', the Chapter has not yet initiated any of them into the Deathwing or the Inner Circle. As mentioned, the exception seems to be the Primaris Librarians, who have the '''DEATHWING''' keyword in the crunch. No mentions in fluff to explain why; maybe there's not much use in trying to keep mind readers out of your secrets. **In the novel "War of Secret", it turned out that whenever a Primaris witnesses something related to the hunt for the Fallen Angels, he has his memory wiped out by the Apothecary. However, the protagonists of the novel managed to go through the proceess by injuring themselves, thus triggering the Belisarian Furnace to burn away all the injected mind-wiping chemicals. So, an Interrogator Chaplain inducted them into what was called the "Primaris Circle", whose role was to on the watch for both the Fallen Angels and the Mechanicus (for signs of heresy).The Primaris Circle was not (yet) a part of the Inner Circle yet, as only Azrael could decide whether Primaris Marines would be inducted. ** No longer the case as of the most recent White Dwarf update. An [[Aggressor]] had finally been deemed worthy to be inducted into the Deathwing (though its noted that he had been EXTRA-diligent in trying to figure out the Chapter's mysteries prior to this), while one of its Brother-Captains had to undergo the Rubicon Primaris to save his life. Being a Primaris marine now isn't a hindrance to the induction into the Deathwing, just a willingness to play along with the Dark Angels need for secrecy. However this won't stop players from saying GW is too lazy to make Primaris Terminator armor or Bikes. As it's just two so far. *Before the Fall of Cadia and all that ensued, all Company Masters had been members of the Inner Circle. Nowadays, both with NuMarines arriving and casualties stacking up, this is no longer the case. *The Rock is now situated in the galactic north in the Imperium Nihilus, where the Inner Circle can more easily coordinate due to the lack of reliable communications. *Ezekiel has another vision, this time of himself, Asmodai, Azrael, and some other Dark Angels joining forces with Kaldor Draigo to enter the Eye of Terror and rescue Epimetheus from the Black Legion. Pandorax 2: Eye of Terror Boogaloo? **Following up on the above, Asmodai cuts a deal with the [[Relictors]]: in exchange for their help capturing a member of the Black Legion who can give them Epimetheus' location, he gives them a relic in a locked box that he claims is "rightfully" his to give and "rightfully" theirs to receive. Intriguingly, he mentions that the box is unlocked by specific genetic markers but will open for them as easily as it would open for him. In light of this, it may be possible that the Relictors may be Dark Angels successors in spite of their significant deviation from the Unforgiven doctrines (to say nothing of their own dubious loyalties). *Rumor has it that somewhere in the Imperium Nihilus the Fallen are gathering in large enough numbers to be classified as their own Legion. Azrael suspects that Luther may be responsible for this and is making plans to move against them. *Captain Balthasar of Dark Vengeance fame is killed, and his successor Lazarus somehow manages to become the first Company Master to cross the Rubicon Primaris despite being too wounded for even a dreadnought sarcophagus. (Should be noted that he was the inducted into the Inner Circle, becoming the first Primaris Marine welcomed into the Circle.)
