The LO Fluff Competition

Corianis · June 29th, 2005, 00:55

I've been reading the Fluff Competition Threads on B&C for a while now, and I find them to be very useful for a number of reasons:
1. Answers to some of the more ... esoteric ... aspects of the 40k Universe.
2. They tend to concentrate the fluff-junkies in one place, which makes it easier to find someone with both the knowledge and temperament to answer a question you have, rather than just posting, and hoping that you get some useful responses.
3. A fair bit of more useful fluff gets thrown in as asides, which I have generally found as an inspiration to find out more about a particular event.
4. They tend to be fun.

So, I'd like to start one up here on LO.
There are some basic rules:
1. One question at a time.
2. Whoever gets the current question right, poses the next question.
3. This is meant to be a thread based on testing. Try to make them tricky, but still doable.
4. Official GW fluff only folks, there are too many variations in the other. I am of two minds about the Black Library books, but I'll leave them in for now.

Okay. First Question:

"What was the name of the ex Con-man who founded Chaos Covens on Khai-Zhan?"

Query: Is this to be done iron-man or not?

If it is, then I have no idea for the answer. If it isn't, then I'll get back to you in a while.

DAMN!!!!! I know this one! Auuuuuuurrrrrrgggggghhh... I'll get back to you... *sifts frantically through bookshelves*

numberofthebeastxxx · June 30th, 2005, 16:00

Obviously I couldn't find it... Maybe you should ask an easier question to get the ball rolling a bit...

Lord_Wallace · June 30th, 2005, 16:12

Yeah, seriously. Thats a really tough one....I dont have the slightest clue and I've read a goodly chunk of the available fluff novels out there. Maybe start off with an easier yet still difficult one to start the brainjuices flowing yet keep people interested in the topic.

Why did Macharius weep when he reached Ultima Macharia?

Forger of Civilization · June 30th, 2005, 18:33

His men refused to go any further.

Corianis · June 30th, 2005, 23:00

Sorry for the apparent hardness of the question. Perhaps it is because the answer isn't in the novels (at least any that I have read).

Clues: Vogen is the capital city of Kha-Zhann.

Don't have access to the particular codex otherwise I'd know.

Actually it is because there were no worlds left to conquer.
