Emperor's Children 1st Edition Development

Codex Titanicus

FIR LIRITHION

(HEARTS ARMOURED FOR BATTLE)

The Fir Lirithion are regarded as the surgeons of the battlefield by most observers. They have fought many highly effective campaigns. such as the rout of a Company of Emperors Children on the Moon of Balthon: a strike force of Phantoms went deep into the Valley of Envy and destroyed the Traitors’ command centre. The leaderless and battered Marines were forced to withdraw to a savage feral world in the outer systems, where they were killed by a virulent plague that caused their Larraman's Organ to emit cells uncontrollably, terminally thickening their blood.
