The Bulwark

Just settin up a topic for now.

Discussion of Space Tortuga to follow.

Ahoy, fellas!
So, I'll just be usin this place to put up random ideas so I don't forget them.

For today;

Arelon will now be a desert planet with scare resources; the moving castles are the primary form of habitation on the world, with medium-sized, cave-based societies also existing.

Arelon is a circumbinary planet; a steamy wasteland with no natural flora or fauna outside of the cave systems. Because of this, the initial settlers began farming communities spread out across the cave systems of the planet; the castles could only produce so much food, so the communes became integral parts of the planet's economy and survival.

The castles regularly ventured out into the sun-baked wasteland in order to power their systems via large solar-conversion arrays and collect water from evaporators. This eventually lead to a sort of rotation system; each castle would establish several fiefs within their respective cave systems, and it would trade water for food from each farm as the castles ambled along their route.

However, due to the nature of man, those in power within the castles eventually began to think of themselves as better than their farming counterparts, and subjugated them.

This leads to the Arelon of 30k being a feudal society full of "Help, I'm being repressed!"

Thoughts, fellas?

Also;
Sebastian as a Psyker; Y/N?
I can give more input about how I feel about this, but it's come up a few times and I'm curious about your initial, gut feeling.

I'm not sure.
I think Sebastian as a pure psyker could be avoided for now, but having a lingering idea along the lines of "evidence that all the Primarchs have psychic abilities" might be beneficial.

Oh no, not full psyker; I'm not talking Shakes (Primarch of the Eyes) kinda level psyker stuff.
More like a Prescience or general overview of the battle sorta stuff. Nothing direct; all support focused abilities.

I think that sounds like a good idea. As far as Space Tortuga, my only issue is that it might be cutting a little close to the Iron Hands' home planet. Aside from that, I like it.

Pshaw, implying Space Tortuga won't be a giant, mobile space station
As for being a bit like Medusa, I tried to stray away from that; rather than having them be nomadic across the planet due to the environment, it's more of a cycle, sorta like Chrome Shelled Regios.

Funny enough, though, I had the thought before realizing it was similar to Regios.
