Legion Summary
The Night Lords are one of the traitor legions of Chaos Space Marines.
History
The Night Lords originated on the planet Nostramo, a world which was trapped in a perpetual night and ruled by the Primarch Konrad Curze, who used Night Haunter as an alias while ruling the world as a merciless vigilante. He later re-adopted the title during the Horus Heresy. They ruled through terror and so were one of the most obvious of the traitor legions. Even before the Heresy, the Night Lords decorated their power armor with symbols of death, realizing that fear was a weapon effective as any Bolter or Chainsword.
During the Heresy Night Haunter was assassinated by a Callidus Assassin. Rumors have it that the Night Haunter knew of this attempt of his life and submitted to his fate to prove his deeds during the Heresy right. How much of this is true might only be known to the Masters of the Callidus Temple, the High Lords of Terra and maybe some members of the Inquisition. This misfortune, however, did not slow the Night Lords down and they continued to apply themselves to his mantra and to this day are specialists in terror. In combat, they tend to use large amounts of Raptors, Chaos Space Marines equipped with Jump packs.
Appearance
The gene-seed of the Night Lords seems to be surprisingly pure. Of all the Chaos Space Marine Legions, the Night Lords seem to be the least mutated. Night Lords marines have jet black eyes and pale skin. They do not have irises, with the visible part of their eyes consisting entirely of pupils.
Organisation
The Night Lords tend not to use Daemons in their armies, although they have been known to work alongside Furies, Daemons of Chaos Undivided who share the Night Lords' fondness for brutal murder and psychological warfare. Night Lords do not worship a specific power of Chaos, instead following the concept of Chaos Undivided. Indeed, the Night Lords have a contempt for all of the Ruinous Powers, as well as weakness of any sort.
