=History= ==Engerand's Arrival on Lostregia== Engerand arrived on Lostregia on a completely average day. The sky was clear (as clear as it can be on Lostregia, in any case) and the storms were predicted to return only the next day. Radiation levels were low and the serfs had left their shielded home to collect the strange, deformed fruits which grew on the surface which would then be purified and reduced into a sticky paste. The miners had left for the mountains to dig new tunnels and extract more minerals, some of them strange and exotic, unique to the planet. All seemed normal until something suddenly impacted the side of the mountain. Miners were first to arrive and found a child within the crater. This child was taken in by a miner family and quickly grew. Soon he was a young boy of great strength and endurance who took to the ways of the workers on this strange alien world: work hard, work fast and complete your work before the next storm. Soon he drew the attention of the lord of his fortress, Bellognatus, who wanted the boy for himself. Taken from his foster family, the young Primarch joined the knightly caste which served the lord of the fortress and was taught in the ways of war, where previously he had been but a worker. Unfortunately for his people, Bellognatus was a dead man walking: years before, during a campaign against another lord, he had been caught in a deadly radiation storm. While the man had survived (in part thanks to some cybernetic life support systems), he had contracted a strange incurable condition which slowly degraded his sanity. As the years passed he grew more and more unstable and belligerent, sending the Primarch and his fellow knights on brutal campaigns of pillaging and conquest. The people suffered under an unjust, mad ruler and so Engerand began fomenting a rebellion amongst the people. He traveled deep into the mine tunnels to recover some of the rare minerals, fighting underground mutants. When he came back, he forged nine hammers which he gifted to his champions; these mighty weapons could easily crush the metallic armor which the knights were clad in. Engerand and his nine loyal companions had no great strategy and no muster of serfs or armsmen to breach Bellognatus' inner keep, only the cold, tempered steel in their hands, and the courage in their hearts. Assaulting the very front of the tyrant's palace, they hewed left and hewed right with their mighty hammers, the knights of Bellognatus' service falling with each blow, Engerand himself leading the charge. Bellowing at the top of his lungs, he hefted his hammer, Sturumgan, and tore down the great gates of the mad king's keep - a scene depicted in murals, engravings, and holo-dramas across the Storm Kingdoms and beyond. When Engerand finally confronted the now-reclusive Bellognatus, he discovered the man had begun degenerating into a Glowfiend. The knights, outraged of serving a mutant, turned on their lord and installed Engerand as their new ruler. In time, the Primarch would mount a campaign of conquest to join the disparate fortress and unite the humans of Lostregia. ==Arrival of the Emperor== It is said that during stormy days, when lightning would tear the surface asunder, Engerand was filled with some strange emotion he could not properly understand or convey: a mixture of fear, anticipation and longing. During one said storm, for reasons he could not explain, Engerand left the safety of his fortress and climbed to the peak of a mountain, guided by some strange visions he could not quite explain. From the storm emerged a massive ship, far larger than any of these surface aircrafts kept in the museums of Lostregia. From the craft emerged the Master of Mankind, the Emperor. Flled with a sense of awe and purpose he never felt before, Engerand knelt at the feets of the Emperor and swore fealty to him in an instant. The Primarch was given command of the Legion crafted from his genes, which he renamed the Storm Hammers, for they were now named after these nine weapons Engerand had gifted to his champions. Now each warrior would be reborn, crafted into a mighty weapon like how the Primarch had once crafted these crude hammers. Because of their symbolic importance to the people of Lostregia, the nine hammers were gifted to the Adeptus Mechanicus so they could be reforged into suitable weapons for the Astartes to wield. ==Great Crusade== ==The Heresy==
