The Vexed Legacy

The Vexed Legacy is the name of the troubled period of history in the annals of the records of the Novus Krakens Space Marine Chapter. Following the disastrous inter-Chapter conflict known as the Fall of Mobidium - the great sundering of the once wholly loyalist chapter that resulted in thrice-fracture of beliefs and ideals - the Novus Krakens lost the majority of their early history, having failed to safeguard their Chapter's legacy due to the internecine conflict. Since that era, the Novus Krakens have greatly lamented the loss of their precious history and continue to piece together whatever fragments they might discover during their neverending sojourn across the width and breadth of the galaxy.

Background
The Chapter no longer recalls the events from before the grand schism that tore its brothers asunder. All that remains are the few spoken legends of the first Chapter Master: Håvard Kørær. Fewer still of these stories are recorded as factual events. Having failed to keep their history safe, the Novus Krakens feel a great shameful debt to the chapter's ancestry, charging into battle at every opportunity to make new stories that may perhaps calm the souls of the warriors who came before them.
