Konrad Curze, carved into the walls of his prison on Cheraut  \nALegion Accursed  \nThe Night Lords were a Legion set upon a course that would lead them inevitably to their destruction, a course whose origin could be found on distant Terra and the inscrutable plans of the Emperor, but that would see its bitter end among the dim stars of the Eastern Fringe. As was fitting for a Legion of such ill-repute and terrible mien, it would not go meekly to meet this ordained fate nor accept without bloodshed an end to the path they had chosen to walk. Amid the turmoil and destruction of the Horus Heresy the first signs of that which awaited them would appear, heralded by the Night Haunter himself, and the Legion would turn upon itself in an orgy of violence in an effort tosever itself from the curse of its Primarch. This was not the end that they stumbled ever closer too, that the Night Haunter had seen in a thousand cursed dreams, but merely a foretaste of the horror that was to come. For despite the grim fervour with which they struggled, the Night Lords sought the wrong foes for their rage, choosing to blame a corruption they saw within their own ranks as though it had been brought to them from the outside. Instead, the curse they sought to end had ever lived at the heart of the Legion, ablight that had festered in the place that it had been set by the Emperor’s own hand, in aid of plans incomprehensible to the minds of mere mortals – the Night Haunter himself.  \nAfflicted by the curse of seeing but a fragment of the foresight that guided his gene-father, Konrad Curze had seen the grim possibility that waited for him and his sons on the far side of the Horus Heresy. Once he had sought to fight that possibility, to struggle against the future hoping that his dark dreams would clear, that the blood he shed and the lives he had claimed would be enough to shift the path of the future ever so slightly. That the dreams that had haunted his mind, the visions ofa dark and terrible future would clear and be replaced, that he might find a place in the empire his father sought to build among the stars. Yet even after Horus shattered the course of the Emperor’s plans and remade the future of the Imperium itself, his vision remained constant and unchanging, a curse that he came to believe was inevitable and immovable. That all the struggle and death had been in vain, that it had meant nothing worked on the mind of the Primarch in a manner more catastrophic than the cut of any blade, a  \nwound that no chirurgeon could mend. Thus, by the time ofthe Thramas Crusade he had come to embrace his doom, to revelin the futility of his existence and the bleak truth he thought he had discovered.  \nThe Outriders of Rebellion  \nOutwardly, the Night Lords began the Horus Heresy as a strong force in the host of the Warmaster, a Legion tempered by war and set in its own grudge against the Loyalist cause. The imprisonment ofCurze prior to the destruction of Nostramo and the subsequent incident with Rogal Dorn were seen by many among the Traitors to grant the Night Haunter their trust. Knowing this, Horus sought to put the Night Lords to use in the vanguard of his plans and in the wake of the destruction of the Dropsite Massacre, Horus had set them to the tasks he had woven for the Emperor’s demise. For the Night Lords, the Warmaster set the task of running at the forefront of his host, inciting fear and unrest among those worlds yet undecided in their loyalties. By the point of the Night Lords’skinning knives Horus would show these worlds the cost of his animosity, and to those who chose to bend the knee before him, he would grant his protection and a relief from the predations of his servants.  \nAs the harbi","cbCaijp09OKFBsC7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijp09OKFBsC7","pdf",2443532,"English","# The Night Lords and Their Curse\n## The Night Haunter’s Prophecy and Curze’s Doom\n## The Outriders of Rebellion\n## An Empire Built on Fear","[{\"question\":\"What drives the Night Lords toward their inevitable destruction?\",\"answer\":\"The Night Lords follow a course shaped by distant origins on Terra and the Emperor’s inscrutable plans, then endure and act through the curse at the heart of their Legion under their Primarch, the Night Haunter.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Konrad Curze interpret his foresight and suffering?\",\"answer\":\"Curze initially tries to fight the grim future he has seen, hoping his dark dreams will clear and his bloodshed will shift the path.
