Kierdale Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Inspirational Friday: Prophecy For those who do not know it, Inspiration Friday is a (generally) fortnightly weekly event within its home in the Chaos Space Marines forum, in which a topic is set for members to write short (or long if the muse takes you) fluff/fan-fic pieces about their war bands, characters and models. And here begins our eleventh challenge of Inspirational Friday 2018: Prophecy The gods whisper into mortal ears and minds, all too often with promises of power, glory or other desires fulfilled, but also on occasion with words of guidance or warning. They would not see their plans (be they grand or trifling distractions from the greater game) foiled so easily, or they lend their guidance to mortals so those plots might flourish. Even the Corpse-God, the God-Emperor of mankind has been known to give guidance to the faithful, via his tarot or visions. Over the next two weeks I would have you write pieces on the subject of prophecy. From what higher power do these visions come? Who is the mortal or mortals blessed(? Cursed?) with this guidance? Does the prophet succeed in interpreting divine will correctly? And what forces oppose the prophecy? Why am I posting such a heretical thread here? Well, was it not the first of your number, your beloved Sigismund who was swayed by the words of a witch? Is the Emperor’s champion not granted visions upon the eve of war? ...and Inspirational Friday has had some great entries from members of this forum in the past. IF2018: Prophecy! runs until the 22nd 29th of June. Let us be inspired. The winner of IF2018: Prophecy! shall claim the Octed amulet: .to treasure or destroy (as Honda has...once? twice?) ...and the honour of judging the next topic (which they may choose to relinquish to me as they wish).

Honda Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Prophecy is heresy, a grossly misunderstood tool of witches. The Emperor on the other hand, only reveals his will to those with faith, something that Chaos knows nothing about. However, we DO know what to do with witches.

TheOneTrueZon Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I can still smell the charred remains of the heretic from Brethren Honda and his last delve into this challenge. I eagerly await to see what becomes of this prophecy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 With the deadline days away - and IF always slower during the ETL - would you like me to push the deadline back a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I would not hold it for me. I actually have two solid concepts that I'm working, but they are taking longer to develop than I had planned. So as intrigued as I am by the topic and what I will do with it, I will have to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Well, there has been a request in the CSM forum for a third week so I am pushing the deadline back to the 29th. If you do think you can finish your idea/work by then, I’d love to read it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Ok, one of the ideas will be ready by the 29th. So, you can count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 And you went and won it :D Congratulations, Honda. That’s two Octed amulets you’ve got so fast, right? Quite a collection of Chaos trinkets you’re getting... #cough#heretic#cough# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It was very good. Swiftly intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Oh, wow, I'm honored. Thank you, I guess I'd better get over there... This story will be the starting point for our narrative campaign that kicks off in a <hopes> not too much longer. It's going to be a very comprehensive thread, with a campaign, battle reports, modeling, and stories. Keep an eye out in WIP for something called "The Kairos Intervention" in a few weeks.
