Overview
House Lucaris is an infamous house known for their bold and tenacious nature. Originally swearing themselves to the Luna Wolves during the Great Crusade, the Knights of Morda Prime saw in Horus their own tenets of virtue through strength and mercy through dominance. When Horus turned against the Emperor, Lucaris held their vows and followed him into damnation. Following the death of Horus, Lucaris swore vengeance against the Imperium and revoked their allegiance to the newly created Black Legion which they saw as having abandoned the Warmaster. In the millennia since the Heresy they have waged war against both the Imperium and Chaos Space Marines, though there are accounts of factions within the House allying with the Black Legion.[2a] This was evident on the world of Rhortis during the Nachmund Rift War, where Nobles of the House renewed their pact with Abaddon.[9]
House Lucaris comprimises many factions led by a complex web of its noble lines, each of which strains to grow stronger through scheming and power plays. This intrigue has led to many cadet branches, each of which has their own agendas and ambitions. While scheming is common, open rebellion is swiftly and brutally punished.[9]
