A Rose Watered with Blood
The World Eaters and Angron
The XII Legion from Nuceria through Isstvan and the Shadow Crusade to Terra. After the Heresy, Khârn: Eater of Worlds follows Khârn’s return and the Legion’s disintegration; The Weakness of Others depicts the later turning point on Skalathrax. These are separate events with an unknown interval; both books retain their primary home in Khârn’s personal story line. Later Khârn stories are not moved into early Reforging, and legionaries’ participation does not imply Angron’s presence.
