Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 256 Extra Story: Explanation of the Queen of Glory and some issues

I posted it earlier today, because I saw a lot of readers talking about the number of Rongguang queens. I think I need to write a separate article to explain it, and reiterate my consistent position. The conclusion is at the end. Please allow me to explain Rongguang first. Queen's question.

First of all, it is about the quantity. Readers don’t need to tell me. I know that there are more than 20 "known" Queens of Glory, but we have to analyze them carefully. What is the matter with these extra ships? When did they appear and how did they exist.

For example, the Tyrant of Horus, for example, there is only one sentence about the Queen of Glory class, and this sentence is written in the background. It is the sister ship of the Vengeful Spirit, and it was used in the Great Crusade and the Horus Rebellion. Existed as the flagship of Horus, and then disappeared, except that it has not appeared in any mainstream, important plot.

In the first trilogy of the "Horus Rebellion" series, "The Rise of Horus", "The False God", and "The Burning Galaxy", among the three books that completely take the Shadow Moon Wolf Army as the protagonists, Every aspect of the Sixteenth Expeditionary Fleet is mentioned, but, but here comes, except that nothing is written about the Tyrant, which doesn't even exist.

The same goes for the extra warships of other legions, such as the Dark Angels. These extra warships only existed in a certain background setting, but they didn’t have any plot, interaction, or even a detailed description. A word is gone.

Another example is the Ambion, which is the Queen of Glory class owned by the Imperial Navy. This is even more outrageous, because the Imperial Navy was under the command of various legions during the Great Crusade. Legion, that's why Horus was able to pull up so many troops when he rebelled, so why did he assign a Queen of Glory class to the auxiliary army? Instead of strengthening it to a certain legion?

And this place also raises a question, why everyone is a Primarch, there are Space Marine Corps, Ultramarines, White Scars and Emperor's Children Legions only have one ship, only Horus and Ryan have many people How many ships? Is the Emperor being so aboveboard, or do you have a PY deal with Mars? There is no explanation, and it is very unreasonable. Please remember that there are 20 legions, even if there are two less, there are 18 legions that are incompatible with each other. Most of them have poor relations and are hostile to each other.

Even Guilliman and Lion, superficial brothers like Horus, treat each other as idiots in private, wishing to kill each other to become their own Warmaster, the emperor can make a fuss just by giving Horus the title of Warmaster With so many things to do, how many extra Queens of Glory have to be allocated to them? Is this reasonable? Does this serve any purpose other than to piss off the other Primarchs and make them unhappy?

Back to the ship of the Imperial Navy, this ship is even more outrageous. Not only did it not have any important plots, but even the description is that the Imperial Navy has an independent Queen of Glory class, and then the next sentence will immediately follow this ship In the attack of the destruction and attack rebellion foundry world, what is the meaning of its existence? It seems that a certain author wanted to brag temporarily, made up a ship, and then found that it seemed too outrageous and immediately blew it up.

So yeah, I didn't buy into the existence of these ships, and instead went with the conservative one ship per primarch setting, because that's the most logical, (also have to admit, I did forget that the Alpha Legion is twin Primarch, there is an extra ship, probably because Omega was hacked, leaving only Alpha, my Hydra, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

So this is my reason. I don’t know if everyone agrees, but I still want to emphasize it again. I hope that everyone can use logic to look at all settings, not just because there is such a setting somewhere. , but should first think with logic.

For example, the question of the Queen of Glory should first think about why there are so many more people, why only these few people have more people and others don’t, will it cause any problems this time, is it logical? No matter how unreasonable it is, it is difficult to explain, so whether it can be rewritten into a reasonable style, for example, I rewritten Loken, if I found that the rewriting could not be rewritten, why should I forcefully write this setting.

What I always emphasize is that you can just look at many settings of Warhammer. The creative mode of GW and Black Library means universal eating, self-denial and self-contradictory. What kind of setting and writing method is finally adopted is up to each individual. The author decides.

Finally, I would like to explain some of my other behaviors and ways of thinking. For example, some readers said before that I was whitewashing Lorgar, saying that Lorgar admired power and had no beliefs at all.

This is a typical alienation of people, putting a simple label on the impression and then explaining it roughly. This kind of behavior is like the ancient stereotype that Westerners rely on their impressions and then say that Chinese people have braids. This kind of behavior is neither Reasonable, but also extremely absurd, the same is true in the book.

I don't believe that a person is inherently good or evil. Of course, Lorgar is not inherently evil, and neither are the rebel Primarchs. I believe that everyone's behavior and personality shaping have reasonable explanations, not preconceived. Label people.

For example, Erebus, I don’t think that Erebus is born a cunning, evil and greedy person. I prefer to believe that Erebus’s living environment, parents, relatives and experiences have shaped him. His personality, for example, his parents often say how about a certain kid next door, you can't, how much impact will the classic theory of other people's children have on a person? Especially someone like Erebus who longs for recognition.

In order to get the approval of his parents and the respect of his friends, he will use all kinds of methods to win and take advantage of others. This is not because he is inherently evil, but because his growth environment has shaped his values ​​and worldview.

Guilliman and Dorn can grow up to be kind and respectable people because of their growth environment. Guilliman is lucky, not only fell in Macragge, a world that is almost heaven, but also With all the love of his adoptive father Connor Guilliman and adoptive mother Tarasa Utton, he grew up in a happy and complete family, so he has normal values ​​to understand human beings and the world.

Although Dorne fell into a world of ice and snow (here is a complaint, GW is really unimaginative, anyway, the harsh environment is snow), but the tribe that raised Dorne is a united place, all relatives take care of each other, emphasizing the sense of responsibility and Don't abandon or give up, especially the kind old patriarch who raised Dorne. He has a deep influence on Dorne. He will wrap the little primum in his own blanket and tell him stories, fairy tales and everything in the world. It is the key to shaping Donne as a person, not something innate.

So much so that after Dawn became an aeplasma, with his physique, he would spread the patriarch's grandfather's robe on the bed to sleep, so I always think that the so-called setting should not just look at a shriveled setting, but should be changed. Think more about what's underneath, what's causing it, rather than a preconceived conclusion.

These are some of my ideas and the logic of writing the book. I don’t know if you agree, but you are welcome to continue to put forward critical ideas. I welcome everyone’s criticism, because everyone’s criticism means thinking about problems. I think this is good enough.

I will continue to explain your various questions in the future, this time it is over for the time being, thank you for watching, today's update will not be affected.

Finally, please ask for a monthly pass, please recommend, please subscribe, thank you~
