Walking through the ship TalOS studied the architecture with an inquisitive eye. It was less he saw value in the sights but instead the entire place was different from what he assumed to be standard.
The entire interior was covered in wooden furnishing that would have made several craftsmen cry upon seeing them. Now TalOS knew that the Knights of Dutonis employed such furnishing so that their quarters were more like home but this was by far the extreme of that.
There was not a piece of metal exposed. What TalOS suspected there was plenty of the Machine God’s steel behind such furnishings the Primarch also noticed several pieces of the organic material was strained with the weight associated with construction.
“Enjoying the sights?” Leman Russ laughed as TalOS noticed his slightly longer teeth.
“Your furnishings are exquisite, unusual to what I know.” TalOS said as he took another moment to think, “This wood… did it originate from your homeworld?”
“Indeed it did.” Leman Russ championed as he slammed his hand upon the surface, “Nokian Metal Wood. A special tree from the northernmost regions that is said to be stronger than refined iron.”
“Interesting.” TalOS took a moment of study to examine as his feet ached the wood, “Do you know how a natural organism was able to achieve such strength?”
“Because it came from Fenris.” Russ pointed out as he took a moment to think, “Whatever survives on Fenris must be the toughest it can be. The tree grows in a brutal wilderness that hosts a great variety of tank sized bears. Only the trees that could support such massive beasts were able to grow in such a desolate wilderness.”
to the tree I would like to study them. If nothing else then for the sake of prosperity. Such an organism might hold secrets the Machine God left for us.”
“If the Spirits of Fenris allow you to do that.” Russ pointed out as they walked into a massive hall.
The place TalOS realized was comparable to the one employed by Lucius. Where Lucius’s was built for height this one was built for length. TalOS quickly counted what must have been several hundred Space Wolves and soldiers chatted amongst themselves.
“The guests of honor have arrived! Take your seats and fill for every soul upon this ship a mug of mead!”
