Vulkan: Lord of Drakes
The Salamanders and Vulkan
Vulkan’s core route: Vulkan Lives → The Unremembered Empire → Deathfire → Old Earth. The story map then selects his Siege episodes and the beginning of the Scouring; Reading order provides the complete Siege sequence. Early campaigns, Isstvan survivors and relics form separate surrounding stories. The Beast novels belong to 544.M32, not an immediate sequel to the Siege.
