Assorted Fluff yet to be properly worked through

+++ Geneseed +++

The Geneseed is remarkably pure, even 10,000 years after the heresy none other takes so easily to potential aspirants. Likewise despite the loss of their genebanks they have been able to slowly rebuild, a feat unmatched by any other legion.

Likewise, the Oathsworn have displayed a genetic disposition less compatible with chaos taint.

Legion Tactics

The size of their legion prevented coherent supply lines in the later end of the Great Crusade, which was forcing chances to their organisation and doctrine. However for the majority of the crusade they were considered the 'standard', having a nicely balanced make up of their battalions, favouring nothing in particular allowing them to adapt easily to their opponents strengths and weaknesses.

Legion Relationships

Pre-Heresy

Primarch	Legion	Opinion
Graha'nak	Void Lords	Friendly rivalry in regards to Void Combat, not particularly close as Primarchs. Disagreed with his fondness of Orbital bombardment, finding it wasteful and crude.
###	@@@	###
Xun Tohilcoatl	Sky Serpents	both vocal proponents of the Librium Project. were becoming friends towards the beginning of the heresy, and while Raydons favoured brother post-heresy he still resented Xuns "passive" approach.
Alexios the White	Angels of Light	Envious of his ability to build empires, but knows that his is the soul of a wanderer, and would hate being 'trapped' in a single place for too long. Didn't spend time with him during the crusade as they werent deployed together. After the Heresy, Raydon suggested that Alexios be made Lord-High Marshal of the Loyalist Forces, his ability to rebuild being vital. However he grew to resent Alexios over the years, as he instead built his Imperium Minoris.
Marcus Sinistrum	Fists of Mars	Did not spend time with during the Great Crusade, however afterwards the two grew close, the Fists being instrumental in supporting Raydon's Eternal Crusade. Raydon considered Marcus "one of three" who would be a fitting candidate to lead the loyalists.
Sarco Funerus	Undying Scions	The legion sees being trapped in dreadnoughts as a fate far worse than death, having a strong ancestor honouring culture. They would pity them, but also most likely hold them in high regard for the sacrifice they would have made to be incarcerated within the dreadnoughts armour. Raydon thought Sarco was abit wild prior to his internment, but had very little to do with him both during the Crusade and after the Heresy.
Engerand	Storm Hammers	Respected, but only worked with on a few occasions. Mostly after the Heresy, Raydon enjoyed duelling with Engerand, attempting to find a sparring partner to replace Klaus.
Klaus Staffel	Knights Exemplar	Close bonds, Raydon's closest ally during the Crusade, it was said that his death changed Raydon everafter, he became dark and hate filled, a curse that has since passed onto his sons.
REDACTED	Eyes of the Warmaster	Most hated enemy, having fallen prey to the traitorus tournament. To this day hunting these traitors is always considered a top priority. A step or two below the devotion that DA hunt the fallen, the Warhawks definately hold the a grudge.
Enoch the Relentless	Judgement Bringers	Worked with extensively, never got along with.
Rubinek	Iron Hearts	Up until the Heresy they worked closely together, and shared many battle honours. Was devastated by their betrayal.
Balthasar the Bloody	Bloodhounds	Disapprove of methodology, and think they are shameful "hunters". A Barbarian. Probably the Primarch Raydon disliked the most.
Kashaln	Silver Spears	Disapproved of utilisation of mass infantry assaults, thinking them a waste of resources - and callous, but mostly a waste.
Saul Sheridan	Second Sons	Another close friend before the Heresy, shared many musings with, and the two legions worked extensively together during the great crusade.
Gengrat Vannevar	Behemoth Guard	Avoided whenever possible, disagreed with tactics, mentality, and personality.
Oramar	Warp Raiders	Avoided due to an eeries feeling Raydon was plagued with when in Oramars presence.
Anders Kor	Paladins of Kor	Respected his humanitarian outlook but thought him naive. Lost his respect when he turned Renegade, seeing no divide between the traitors actions and his. Hates him for preaching 'neutrality' a pointless and empty gesture in a galaxy at war.
Faustus Ascelpious	Oathsworn	@#@#@

Post-Heresy

Loyalties	Summary	Description
Traitors	++EXCOMMUNICATE TRAITORIS++	The prey for the Great Hunt. No Mercy, No Remorse.
"Independents"	++EXCOMMUNICATE TRAITORIS++	During the Heresy there were those who fought for the Emperor, and those who didn't. These Independents may claim neutrality but there absence was noted from the final battle, their inaction causing the deaths of many loyal brothers.
Crusader States	Desperate Allies	While still loyalists, tensions are vary from Legion to Legion, the Hawks having closer ties with some Legions than others. Ultimately though, they resent those with the power to retake the Imperium and continue the Emperors vision.
The "True Blades"	Battle Brothers	A covenant of those that have remained committed to the Eternal War and defending teh Emperors vision.
