Temporal Lords

The Temporal Lords are a mysterious Chapter with a long and dark history. The annals of the Temporal Lords contains a secret so dangerous that it's discovery would spell doom for the Chapter. Whatever they may have done was terrible enough that much of their early history has been completely erased and remains known only to the Temporal Lords themselves, who work tirelessly to keep this knowledge to themselves alone.

Despite their melancholic exterior, the Temporal Lords are some of the Emperor's most zealous warriors, desperately seeking redemption for their past sins.

Chapter History
The history of the Temporal Lords is long and one of myth and legend. The Chapter's early history has been completely erased long ago, only the vast record vaults of the Temporal Lords' own fortress-monastery contain records of the Chapter's beginnings. The reason for this censure is unknown and remains the Chapter's largest secret. They work relentlessly in a desperate bid for atonement.

The earliest accounts of the Chapter's existence come from the early 32nd Millennia, even then records relating to the Chapter remain highly scarce.

Even when accounts of the Chapter's actions exist they are few and lack detail. To this day the Chapter remains highly secretive about their activities. Another cause of the lack of records is the Chapters extreme isolation from the rest of the Imperium. The only factions the Temporal Lords seem to tolerate are their home sector's defense forces and the Ordo Chronos.

Chapter Home World
The Temporal Lords originate from the planet Xyon just north of the Galactic Core.

A dry world, Xyon is covered mostly by burnt-red deserts with orange sand and seemingly endless mountain ranges. Red grass fields strewn with rubble as well as forests of silver-leaved trees are also present, but they make up the minority of the terrain.

Chapter Culture and Beliefs
The earliest figures of the Temporal Lords seem to have sought to foster a sense of free-spirited independence within his Legion, telling them to do what they deem to be morally right no matter what others may think of them. This lead to a division between the Temporal Lords and the rest of the Imperium, and over time the Legion grew ever more isolationist. These figures also attempted to install compassion among the Legionnaires, telling them to show respect not only to the citizens of the Imperium, but their opponents themselves.

Another cause of their isolation is their borderline xenophiliac nature. Not only did they show respect towards non-Humans, a handful of them even work relatively closely with Xenos races. However, for the majority of the Chapter their xenophilia ends at apathy. Despite this, they were just as zealous when it came to exterminating belligerent Xenos species.

Chapter Gene-Seed
The gene-seed of the Temporal Lords is riddled with many flaws; from potent psyker abilities, precognition, and bursts of raw emotions.

The Chapter's precognitive abilities come in the form of visions about specific future events. Marines who have experience these vision are said to be shown "what should be, what could be, and what must never be" about a specific future event as well as what they claim to be "alternate reality". Through this, the Temporal Lords are able to combat some threats before they even arise. Unfortunately, the appearance of visions is highly sporadic and are sometimes 'clouded'. The Chapters temporal awareness also makes them allies of the Ordo Chronos, one of the only Imperial factions the Temporal Lords interact with.

Chapter Colours
The armor of the Temporal Lords is mainly painted crimson with a golden trim. This is because crimson and gold are considered to be the two most important colors in the Xyonian culture. The Temporal Lords paint their shoulder pads black out of mourning and grievance of their past.

Chapter Badge
The icon of the Temporal Lords is a stylized hourglass to symbolize the prophetic visions many Mariens of the Chapter recieve.
