Night Lords/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The Night Lords may be terror eating murderers, but Emperor damn us if they aren't hilarious at times.

  • In Soul Hunter, when Vraal goes to the Hall of Remembrance to prevent Malcharion's revival:

Of course, this new plan to awaken Malcharion had to be put down with tact.
With nuance.
With subtlety.

Vraal's claws slid from the sheaths on his gauntlets. They sparked and crackled, wreathed in killing lightning.

"Brothers!" he called joyously into the vox. "Everyone in this room is going to die!"

  • Most of Cyrion's dialogue. Whether he's speaking to a squad mate, a human slave, or a renowned Chaos warlord, he'll snark. Magnificently. And he even snarks at the prospect of his own death, noting with a little satisfaction that he won't have to listen to his squadmate's whining.
  • When Octavia is riding in the boarding tube with the Boarding Party going to capture the Echo of Damnation, she talks about what it's like with an unspecified Legionary (most likely Cyrion, judging by the dialogue):

Octavia: Is it always like this?
Legionary: Yes. Except Uzas is usually screaming about blood, and Xarl likes to howl.
Uzas: Blood for the Blood God! Souls, skulls, souls, skulls...

Legionary: See?
