BL: Advent – Day 15 “The Battle for Hive Markgraaf”
Today’s story is about the survivors of Cadia, doing Cadian things–fighting traitors and mounting dangerous assaults.
If you’ve been waiting to get caught-up on your fill of Black Library back-stories and lore then now is the time of year to jump in. Running from December 1st until December 24th, Black Library will have something to read, listen to, or just check out for all things Games Workshop. You can grab them individually or pick up the whole thing as part of the Advent Calendar Subscription.
Today’s Black Library Tale is a story of Cadian Troopers, though I’m not really sure what makes them Cadian. I see absolutely no mention of Maple Syrup, Hockey, Beer, the interjection eh? or people pronouncing about differently than you might think. And looking at the cover, I’m pretty sure there’s no poutine in the story either–nor any mention of Cadian history. Like the discovery of the warning signs of a stroke, or the Halifax Explosion.
But even if it wouldn’t really pass muster as a Cadian Heritage minute, the story does still seem pretty good–a brave trooper deals with heretics while processing her grief about the death of Cadia. Action AND feelings. What more could you want? Aside from more of the rich tapestry of Cadian lore–like the Mounties.
