Added in a 'Words of Vulkan' section.
Vulkan is the largest and the strongest of all the primarchs. He is said to be as tall in his power armor as Horus is in his own, much larger [[Terminator armor]], and is capable of overturning Space Marine [[battle tanks]] with his bare hands.{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|7}}{{Fn|8}}
==Words of Vulkan==
During his lifetime, Vulkan left prodigious philosophical writings, particularly those recorded in the Tome of Fire, a vast series of writings that, amongst other more mundane teachings, are said to hold glimpses of the future and prophecies yet to be fulfilled. Yet even the more mundane of his writings held profound lessons, many of which have gone on to become key tenets of the Promethean Creed.
''‘Ours is a violent calling, but as adherants of the Promethean Creed we believe in the Circle of Fire. None can come back as they once were, but in death we are returned to the ash from whence we came to be born anew, our blood and bone bonded with the earth. Through fire are our remains made protean, through fire and the reunion with earth do we experience rebirth. After death, after our duty is ended, we give ourselves to these elements and in so doing become a part of them. This is the nature of the Circle of Fire.’'' – '''Words of Vulkan.'''{{Fn|9}}
