Son of Death (30k Mortarion Quest)

Reader mode
[X] The Dauntless Host. Every man and woman who called themselves Death Guard will have a place by his side, if they wish to claim it.


[X]Let the Past Bear Fruit: No ceremonies, no. No grand speeches. But before each warrior leaves, they plant a tree as a memory, and take a seed of the same to bring with them. Lest they forget their past.
 
[X] The Unbroken Few. The seven comrades who stood with him against Necare, last survivors of a brotherhood chosen for their lack of remaining ties as much as their quality.

The dangerous mix of low self-esteem issues and pride that Mortarion has will likely be an issue when interacting with his brother Primarchs. Well that, and envy for charisma that most of them have, and aversion for psykers...

Mortarion making friends will be an uphill battle, won't it?
 
[X] The Dauntless Host. Every man and woman who called themselves Death Guard will have a place by his side, if they wish to claim it.

[X] A Grim Reprise. Mortarion shall hold his own funeral, and that of all who follow him. Barbarus shall mourn the deaths of those who go to the stars, but they shall also be proud, for it will be a worthy end indeed.
 
Also, can I just add how much I love how the write in of people leaving taking seeds with them is a sort of echo of the OG Death Guard wearing charms with little messages to be taken back to their loved ones if they die - since their bodies would be unrecoverable. Except, of course, this time it's kind of the opposite, instead of a legacy to bring back, it's a reminder of the heritage they left behind on Barbarus (but nonetheless still carry with them).

It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

[X] A Thief in the Night. There will be no grand ceremony, no pointless festivities or flowery speeches. Let his deeds be his legacy, nothing more or less.

I cannot honestly see Mortarion wanting to stand on any sort of ceremony, even for something like this.

More than the choice, I just really want to read that scene. (even if I'm totally ok with Let the Past Bear Fruit)

I like this take on Big-E. He's so unashamedly full of himself that it's weirdly endearing.
