Inspired by a recent torrent of games cropping up in January, I've decided to write up some more back story to my growing Dynasty. Now, as I loved the mystery of the Necrons, I couldnt help the background being written from the view point of their enemies.
More info on the logistics of assembling and painting enough for the big Apoc game coming soon. Until then, try to enjoy the below and let me know what you think!
Message Begins.
"Information on the
Necron race is largely an unknown. At worst, jealously guarded by your
more paranoid and sand eating peers (Excuse the expression, native turn
of phrase).
However your question regarding this specific Dynasty if one could call
it that, has unearthed some interesting half truths.
Namely, this Trazio (Trazian, Trazekk, Tray'Zael and one occasion Tra'Ziell) heralds from what I call in my previous and highly unread treatise, the pre-machina era. I realise that this work is based on nothing more than reverse theory and pointing at silhouettes in missing legends, but it holds to some truth.
The word "Trazio" in all its incarnations is an old word, in so much as an word can be old. As far as I can surmise it means "Faithful" if such a concept could ever be applied to these godless Xenos (Don't even get me started on that fools errand with your request for Ctan research!). But what is interesting is that if added with some of its other variations, for example Trazian, it means Faithless.
Also, if we are discussing all information, I think you should know that some of the hieroglyph shares a disturbing likeness to some Ancient Gyptus material from several planets, including (feel free to censure this), ***** itself!!!
I digress however, Trazio, has been mentioned in previous hostile excavations on Tennamen Secundus, where translations regarding the Old Ones, or the Gods of old. It is indicative of a temple order, or religious function, most likely prior to the alleged involvement with these C'tan. The Dynasty seems to have been at one point very large, having many branches and being intermixed with their other echelons of Nobility (Read: Triarch Praetorians, police or priests?). Several instances of other smaller Dynasties bearing similar colouration can be found under different names and agendas. Linked only by their insistence on bone and crimson red uniform (all post-transcendence).
Their involvement in the stages up to the "War in Heaven" was unfortunate. To quote Sander, "they backed the wrong Grox." If legends must be believed, they fought the bargain with the Ctan to the bitter end, some records stating clearly that they were the first to be "turned" or "transcended." I would imagine the idea of making these creatures into the image of their Gods must have had some resistance, and here it is.
That said, records from the Ye'kannon Rift, either contradict this or add to the story, indicating that the Dynasty rose to be one the C'tan's greatest supporters. Indoctrinated to the cause? I can only surmise that this was an affect of this ascension to soulless machine.
Then, there is nothing until the era of "Deicide" or the death of gods, loosely translated. The Silent King's conspiracy was mostly revolved around the construction of certain "Bane" technologies, inspired by the Ctan's closest followers, which included the Trazio (And the Eldar? But that is another research project). In effect, they seem to have been instrumental in the Star Vampire's defeat.
Yet, their slumber is marred with mis information. On some cases, the Prefix of "Tra" is highly taboo in certain Dynasty's. In other records, a "host of faithful cum faithless" were "sent to the prison of slumber."
It is uncertain which circumstance is correct, but one thing is assured, the Trazian Dynasty did not sleep willingly, but yet, they were not destroyed. That is, if these pictures of the reaping of Asaheim are accurate.
It would seem the scions of the oldest religion in the galaxy have returned. As to their agenda... I can only guess, given such power, such bitterness... It cannot be good. If that one pic with them using that unstoppable creature of energy is the remnant of the C'tan, that raises more worrisome questions."
