My temper grows no longer, my blade’s edge ever wicked as I sharpen it and wait.  \nAnd I wait.  \nI am Arkad, Warden of the Blood Angels and for now, as I have been since the order was spoken by my Lord Sanguinius, I am custodian of Baal and all her environs.  \nWe are twenty in number, my brothers and I. A handful of sons from our Legion’s great sum, here upon the rusty sands of our homeworld. We march the halls ofthe fortress-monastery and we drill endlessly. We spar against one another and the combat-slaves. We meditate and supervise the army of human serfs who keep the hearth of the Legion burning, the glories of the Blood Angels polished and perfect and always ready.  \nBut we wait.  \nFive years is not the blink of an eye in cosmic time, it is barely within the notice of a warrior of the Legiones Astartes. We live on scales that common men do not comprehend. Campaigns that span decades are the meat and drink of our lives.  \nFive years? I have slumbered longer in stasis-sleep. It means nothing!  \nIt means    \nTime is a strange, malleable thing. I have known an age to pass between the draw and exhale of my breath, but these years have moved as if every day grows longer than the last. I rise before the dawn of Baal’s red sun each morning and it seems an eternity elapses before it drops back below the horizon.  \nInaction chafes at me, and the others. We do nothing. We occupy ourselves with trivia and training and accomplish no advance! All this occurs while out in the galaxy a war unlike any other burns stars to ash. A civil war, a nightmare of Legion against Legion. A conflict that…and I whisper it…may have taken the greatest toll upon us.  \nI hope that this day will be the last. That today the order I swore to obey will be lifted from my shoulders.  \nImperial Memoranda \\# GHJRHVE/334/DXGJ/7316/Theta +++DATUM BEGINS+++  \nLet it be known that by the order ofHorus Lupercal, Warmaster, First Among Equals (other titles omitted) has commanded that","cbCairlNrd6YDZgO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairlNrd6YDZgO","pdf",1421192,109,"English","# Lost Sons - James Swallow\n# Know Thyself - Andy Smillie\n# Gods of Flesh and Blood - Graham McNeill\n# Crucible - John French\n# Berthold's Beard - Josh Reynolds\n# The Smallest Detail - Sandy Mitchell\n# I commit these words to vox-thief (Arkand passage)\n# Imperial Memoranda","[{\"question\":\"Who narrates the opening vigil passage?\",\"answer\":\"The passage is narrated by Arkad, Warden of the Blood Angels, custodian of Baal and her environs.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Arkad describe during the five-year wait?\",\"answer\":\"He describes endless drilling, sparring, meditation, supervision of human serfs, and growing impatience as no decisive advance occurs.\"},{\"question\":\"What order is described in the Imperial Memoranda?\",\"answer\":\"Horus Lupercal commands Primarch The Angel Sanguinius to gather the Great Companies of the Blood Angels and carry the Emperor’s battle standard to the worlds of the Signus Cluster to deal with the alien nephilim and exterminate the xenos.\"}]","Black Library Weekender 2012 - Volume 1 | PDF",1791347949,168]
