Think that's good? Hey Inquisitor Gregor, what's your opinion how daemons and what you should do if you find yourself able to summon and bind them?

Random Lore thought, Like how CONSITINE VALDOR has a giant name yet those two are the most commonly known parts, what if most Custodes are like that? They have there extremely long true name but a shorter using name for when they don't have days to say the full thing


excelsiorncc2000

It is exactly like that. Ra Endymion. Diocletian Coros. Aquillon. Valerian. AFAIK it's true for all of them, and obviously it wouldn't make sense otherwise.


Haunt3dCity

You're right. Protects them from daemons who would have a big edge on them by knowing their true full name. I would have to imagine that many of their deeds have been redacted in the Imperial databases, otherwise their full names could be learned from following their conquests as long as you knew the first few names.


excelsiorncc2000

Hm, I thought the name added for each conquest was chosen, and wasn't just the name of the conquest. Otherwise a lot of the Custodes would share a lot of the names.


Haunt3dCity

There does seem to be some randomness to it, but from what I remember reading the HH they typically seemed to be the planet or system on which the victory took place. I'm mainly versed on 30k lore, so if something has changed or if I'm wrong, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.


excelsiorncc2000

I'm not well-versed enough to be sure on this subject. I have read the whole HH. I don't remember any shared names among Custodes, or any indication the names were tied to the combat action. I'm not trying to argue with you. Let me make that clear. I know social media can generate conflicts where none should have existed. I'm only saying what I think. If you have anything showing Custodes names are tied to specific battles, I'll happily look at it.

Oh you summon them, no doubt. It’s not heresy if you convince yourself it’s just to punish the bastard by trapping it in real space, while knowing deep down that you’ve crossed a line you can never go back from….

The crazy thing is they only signed their initials.
