@@notinspectorgadgetUltimately, the Bone Tithe will take all it can from a settlement, but it serves the purposes of the Bonereapers to allow a steady supply of bone from the lands under them. Some places send the sick or elderly, others large quantities of animal bone or their buried dead. Others have a lottery system. One notable example in the book "Bonereapers" was one city's coming of age ceremony. At the age of ten, all within the city would have one arm chopped off and offered as payment to the Bonereapers.

I don't think AoS lore and writing is given the attention it really deserves. It's so interesting and creative in places. It feels like you really can write whatever you want and it fits, it isn't bogged down by the 30 years of lore that 40k has, so it seems like a great place for a writer to just go crazy with their own ideas!

At least in AoS we know what happens when you die. It always bothers me that we don't know for sure what happens to the souls of the normal faithful in 40k. We know that the Ecclesiarchy promises heavens to those who die in his name, but we also know human souls have a tendency to just fade away into the warp, if they're lucky enough not to be noticed by a neverborn first. Does the Emperor gather the souls of every loyal guardsman to the foot of the Golden Throne, and if he does, is that akin to a noble paradise, or more like being drawn in to the Astronomicon and being devoured?

@Gitskreig 3 жыл бұрын

I always liked the idea that a Guardsman's afterlife was akin to waking up on a battlefield in the warp, his fallen comrades in arms standing next to him with a gun in hand helping him back up with a grin saying "Good to see you in one piece, mate. Lets show 'em why letting us get in here was a mistake."

@@Gitskreig Actually, for a bit of world building once, I wrote a description of an ancient giant Eclesiarchy mural on a world. It depicted The Last Day and The Last War. On the left, Jaghatai Khan lead the souls of all the dead loyal fighter pilots, tank crews, scouts, and naval frigate crews on The Last Sortie. In the middle, Gulliman organizes the souls of all the dead loyal infantrymen, cruiser and battleship crews, and transport pilots into The Last Muster. On the right, Dorn prepares the souls of all the dead loyal anti-aircraft and artillery gunners, the PDF soldiers, and the space station crews to stand upon The Last Wall. So I guess that's my wish for them, that at the end, when Abaddon steps over the bodies of Ghazghkull and the last Hive Tyrant of Leviathan, and onto the steps of the Golden Throne, that out will blossom the Star Child at the head of every soul that has ever truely served the Emperor, because the Emperor does in deed protect.
