Dark Heresy	comment	A series of novels written by Sandy Mitchell based on Warhammer 40,000's pen and paper roleplaying game Dark Heresy. The novels star the "signature characters" used by the Dark Heresy rulebook for its gameplay examples: former arbitrator Mordechai Horst, tech-priest Hybris Vex, sanctioned psyker Elyra Yivor, Redemptionist assassin Keira Sythree, and guardsmen Danuld Drake and Vos Kyrlock.Two novels have been released, Scourge the Heretic and 2008 and Innocence Proves Nothing in 2009. A third book was planned to clean up the plot threads left hanging by Innocence Proves Nothing, but something seems to have happened and there's been no word on it. An additional Short Story by Dan Abnett, "Into the Dark...", was printed in the second edition Dark Heresy core rulebook itself.

Dark Heresy / int_1e7c47ab	type	Stealth Pun
Dark Heresy / int_1e7c47ab	comment	Stealth Pun Shout-Out: Not terribly stealthy, but Carolus is Latin for Charles, making the Angelae... Reinforced by the fact that "Finurbi" is Latin or at least Dog Latin for "Townsend". (Of course, since the author is Sandy Mitchell, we were expecting no less.) There's another one: Inquisitor Jorge Grynner (Ordo Xenos) is a reference to George Smiley. Smiley has a protege named Peter Guillam; Grynner has Pieter Quillem. And Grynner shares Smiley's habit of polishing his eyeglasses with his necktie. And slightly shady bar owner Muon in Innocence Proves Nothing. Still another: the xenos-tech-collecting organization that seems, to Inquisitor Grynner, to be behind all this is the Faxlignae — High Gothic for "Torchwood." Inquisitor Karnaki of the Ordo Malleus may be a reference to Carnacki the Ghost-Finder, occult detective in a series of short stories from the early 1900s. Supporting this is the inquisitor's reference to bringing his "plasma pentacle"; the detective sometimes used an "electric pentacle" in his investigations. And who can forget Danuld Drake? Rufio, an assassin who works for Inquisitor Grynner, uses poisonous janus thorns as a weapon. Coincidentally, Janis thorns were favoured by Leela, a companion of the Fourth Doctor. Mention is made of a fictional detective by the name of Chastener Domus. Domus being Latin for "Home"... At the end of a haggling session selling stolen jewelry for fifty thousand thrones, Elyra negotiates her cut to 40 K.

Their world Sepheris Secundus was recruiting for a Guard Regiment, and Drake was an experienced member of the Royal Scourges who decided he would rather be seeing the wider galaxy, while Kyrlock was a woodsman who got pinched for tax dodging and given the choice between being hanged or military service. The two quickly formed an Odd Friendship and were subsequently placed on guard detail for one of Sepheris's military facilities. They were on patrol when it was attacked by a mystery force which was well equipped, elite, and organized, and a mob of captive psykers got loose. The fact that they were resourceful and skilled enough to survive the chaos got them picked up into the Angelae.

Dark Heresy / int_ece6f910	comment	Moment Killer: Keira and Horst are discussing certain feelings they're unsure of how to act on, hinting that they know these feelings are mutual, and are just about to confess their attraction to the other when Vex barges in to announce he's made a breakthrough.

Dark Heresy / int_edcc813f	comment	Fantastic Caste System: Shipboard in Innocence Proves Nothing. Each caste or guild has a distinct role aboard the Misericord, along with traditions that make no sense to outsiders. Like the officer caste's masks or the Stewards being forbidden to speak to passengers (or anyone else, for that matter).

Dark Heresy / int_f76842b1	type	The Fundamentalist
Dark Heresy / int_f76842b1	comment	The Fundamentalist: Keira, by her Redemptionist upbringing. Her training has allowed her to "focus her zeal" so she can keep perspective on the big picture, going after the "bigger fish" instead of wanting to smite every sinner she encounters. Her own coming of age and experience begin to soften her views somewhat, a development that causes her no end of confusion.

Dark Heresy / int_fea715c1	comment	Feudal Future: Scourge the Heretic takes place virtually entirely on Sepheris Secundus. The gap between the nobility and the serfs on this planet is wide even by Imperial standards, the world is technologically barely above Medieval Stasis, and yet is tithed more heavily than most worlds in the sector, for its minerals are quite valuable. While most serious mining worlds in the Imperium use powered mining tools and explosives for excavation, Sepheris has to get by on hand tools and backbreaking labor. While most populated worlds give their population some Bread and Circuses, the serfs on Sepheris get more work. While other Imperial citizens get to go to temples to worship, the Sepheris serfs get yelled at by lay-preachers while they push heavy mining carts. While other Imperial commoners have some flexibility in how they choose to serve the God-Emperor, vocation on Sepheris is determined exclusively by birth. The one time a local noble did try to introduce more advanced mining techniques, education, and progressive social restructuring, he was brought down by other nobles who thought he was making a power-play.

Dark Heresy / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Kyrlock's interactions with Zusen; even though she's a rogue psyker, and therefore makes his skin crawl, Kyrlock puts up with her clinginess and goes out of his way to be nice to her. Zusen's an empath, so she realizes exactly what's going on, and she appreciates the effort.
