Black Library (presumably): So we're doing just some Primarch novellas to show who they are and how they interact with their Legions. Let's set it during the Great Crusade, before things went sideways. Nothing special, maybe 200 pages. David, you do Vulkan.
David Annandale: Ok, so how about the Terran Salamanders are fighting a whole lot of Orks and it looks really bad for them and their Daddy comes with the Nucturne Salamanders to safe them. And it's set on a vulcano planet, because planets only have one type of ecosystem.
BL: Sounds good. Guy, you do Corvus Corax, ok?
Guy Haley: ...
BL: Guy?
Guy Haley: ...
Guy Haley: CORVUS CORAX IS A HYPOCRITE, A FALSE REVOLUTIONARY! HE NEVER SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVES LIVING CONDITIONS ON HIS HOME WORLD! HE'S WAY MORE INTERESTED IN SYMBOLIC ACTS OF JUSTICE, HIS BRAND OF JUSTICE ON PEOPLE HE DEEMS RESPONSIBLE, THAN ACTUALLY ADRESSING THE SYSTEM ISSUES, THEREBY PERPETUATING THE STRUCTURAL INJUSTICE WITH BUT NEW PEOPLE IN CHARGE. AND HE'S TOO SELF-ABSORBED IN HIS OWN VIEW OF HIMSELF AS A LIBERATOR THAT HE RATHER CONDEMN A FORMER FRIEND THAN REFLECT ON HIMSELF.
