Vulkan, primarch of the XVIIIth Legion, originally known as the Dragon Warriors, re-named the Salamanders.
“No. Rise, my sons. I am your father, not your king. We do not kneel in fealty. Kneeling is an act of respect. It is a tribute that must be earned. And you have earned it. Your sacrifices to save the people of the Taras Division will be remembered forever. You performed what was impossible and made the sacrifice without hesitation, knowing your task doomed you, and that it was thankless. But I give you my thanks now.”
