Lhorke
Dreadnought
Lhorke is a World Eaters Dreadnought, a Chaos-sworn veteran of the XII Legion interred within an armoured war-engine. He is recorded on Orrery only in that role, and his former name and rank, his origins and the date of his interment are not established in the material reflected here.
The Dreadnought is a walker chassis in which a gravely wounded Space Marine is kept alive, and the World Eaters, the Legion of the Primarch Angron, field such machines alongside their infantry. Lhorke is attested as one of these fallen veterans, but no named campaign, alliance or rivalry is attributed to him here, and accounts differ or are silent on which engagements he has fought in. Any link to a particular warband, or to the Legion’s fragmentation after the Battle of Skalathrax, is therefore left unstated.
His standing is that of a minor named figure whose interest lies in his place within a Legion defined by unrestrained close-quarters war. His present status is unknown. On the Orrery map he has no single fixed anchor, and on the timeline he belongs to the World Eaters strand, alongside Khârn and the other named officers of the XII Legion. This entry will be extended if further detail is confirmed.
