Originally known as the '''VIIIth Legion''', the Night Lords ' first recruits were from the stinking squalid ancient prisons of [[Terra]]. Here the children of prisoners were raised among death in the dark and among deathdarkness. These pale "Night's Children" made perfect Astartes recruits. The Legion saw its first use when the [[Emperor]] deployed them against the Terran [[Saragorn Enclave]], who despite having surrendered to the [[Imperium]] during the [[Unification War]]s, still continued banned psy-breeding experiments. The Emperor's retribution on the Enclave was viciously carried out by the VIIIth Legion.{{Fn|17a}}
