TalOS’s arrival did not have all the pomp and circumstance that he had last time. And indeed there was no need for such triflings when he was simply here on a visit to see UZ1 and converse with Malcador the Sigillite. Though he was a little saddened as he looked to see neither of them, but instead Custodes there to greet him.
Though with only a moment’s glance TalOS realized that the one to meet him was not just a random member of the Hero’s Brotherhood. TalOS had taken the time to learn the customs of the Custodes, knowing how they etched upon their armor their names.
The one who stood before him had a name that crossed across the armor in all manners and ways. Every detail painstakingly made to somehow fit such a glorious reputation upon it. TalOS was sure that even a Titan would struggle to make such things large enough to be seen when one sat at the God Machine’s feet.
But TalOS could read it and understand it for his eyes were that of a Primarch’s. ‘Hercules’, ‘Superman’, ‘Gilgamesh’, these were names that he had inherited to demonstrate to those his deed that he had accomplished. The name that was officially recognized by most people of the Imperium was Constantin Valdor, Captain-General of the Custodes.
“Arch Dominus TalOS DAV1S of Forgeworld Lucius, we here by extend to you the welcome from the Regent of Terra Malcador the Sigillite.” Declared the Custodian as he showed to TalOS the Imperial Aquila, “Your Brother, Ferrus Manus of Medusa will be giving his first Oath of Moment. Malcador the Sigillite has invited you to witness your Brother’s ascension to the complete status of Primarch with his Legion.”
That, if TalOS remembered, was a tradition started by Horus where each Primarch’s Legion would swear to the Primarch, and in turn the Primarch would swear to their Legion their service to the Emperor. A momentous occasion indeed, and with a simple communication TalOS was informed that UZ1 was currently attending the event with Malcador.
Now what was given to TalOS was an invitation to the event, it did not mean he needed to follow it.
>Go witness Farrus Manus’s Ascension.
>Explore the Imperial Palace
>Talk to the Custodian to pass the time. He is quite ancient after all.
