Tradition’s End
Tradition's End (AKA Tradition's Last Breath) is a short story by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. It was published in White Dwarf 454 on June 2020.
Three, drawn from Two, born of One meet once more, as is tradition. Yet times have changed, and the galaxy is not what it once was. Perhaps tradition is dead for these Angels of Death in this short story by Aaron Dembski-Bowden.
On the former homeworld of the Blood Eagles, envoys from the chapters of the Triarchy meet once more, to discuss what is to come in the wake of the opening of the Cicatrix Maledictum.
As they share tales of the hardships suffered by each chapter, Red Seraphs, Angels Numinous and Charnel Guard, the envoys admit they haven't been able to cross the Rift. Noting how tradition has failed them, they agree on risking it all to join forces, cross and try to join the Indomitus Crusade and Roboute Guilliman at the risk of total extermination.
Each envoy leaves to bring the news to their chapters, and in the coming months their fleets will gather above the same world.
