Shroud of Night

Emperor's Children

Emperor’s Children works include independent plots, different warbands and reference material. A More Perfect Union and Lord of Excess follow Xantine in the relative sequence Kalliope → Serrine. Other Legion appearances retain their own events; a shared Legion or publishing range does not create a sequel.
