<div style="width: 60%; padding-right: 20px;">The '''Night Lords''' were the '''VIII Legion''' of the original twenty [[Space Marine Legion]]s. Their [[Primarch]] was [[Konrad Curze]], also called the '''Night Haunter'''. The Legion turned traitor during the [[Horus Heresy]], after which it fought its way across [[Imperial]] space in a bloody campaign that culminated with the death of Konrad Curze at the hands of an Imperial [[Assassin]]. Since the loss of their primarch the Night Lords have based themselves in the [[Eye of Terror]] and now operate as a fragmented terror force who seem to go to war only to slaughter or acquire material possessions.</div>{{Fn|1}}
<div style="width: 60%; padding-right: 20px;">While most certainly [[Chaos Space Marines]], many Night Lords scorn all forms of faith and respect only temporal and material power;{{Fn|1}}; indeed, many of them consider themselves free of the taint of Chaos and despise those they deem to be so corrupted.</div>{{Fn|2e}}
==Homeworld==
The [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]] of the Night Lords was [[Nostramo]], a world of perpetual night.{{Fn|1}} Plagued by both systematic systemic corruption and endemic violence, Nostraman society was radically altered and pacified by the actions of the Night Haunter, at least for a time. Eventually, however, conditions on the planet backslid to the point that the VIII Legion's Primarch, Konrad Curze, ordered its destruction.{{Fn|1}} Nostramo has not existed as a world for ten thousand years, although traces of its presence can still be found by those who know where to look.{{Fn|2a}}
