Default The Betrayer

Kharn, favored Champion! Chaos Chosen!
Will ever thy thirst for blood be sated?
Once a warrior for man, now
A warrior still,
But for thy betrayal!
For even soldiering in the service of your Emperor could not
Fulfill your deepest desire,
To pledge yourself to the Lord of Carnage!
Blood, bone, and daemonic fire!
O' Tempest of martial fury unabated
Let loose the howl from countenance with rage fouled,
And spill the hot blood of your enemies, whether friend or foe
The Lord of Skulls does not care
For the Empyrean is a thing which a man never can truly know.

very cool!
couple things though:
"Let loose the howl from countenance with rage fouled,"
his rage isnt fouled, its....never ending? should be UNfouled IMO

''And spill the hot blood of your enemies, whether friend or foe''

you have a double entendre right there. you say enemies, then wether friend or foe. you alread established that 'they' are enemeis. maybe replace it with 'And spill the hot blood on the ground, whether friend or foe'

otherwise, very cool.

Thx Baron, and in response to Dan, yeah you might be right about the first part, but the second issue you addressed is something I said intentionally. This is because Kharn, according to the lore presented in William King's short story in the Let the Galaxy Burn collection, murdered both his comrades and the enemy during the combat on the frozen world of Skalathrax while in the Eye of Terror, since he felt that his World Eater's compatriots had deserted their oaths to the Blood God. In fact, this action on his part signaled the end of the World Eater's as a cohesive fighting force and turned them into bands of berzerkers roving the Eye of Terror.

Actually Dan.... He's not talking, if you read it fluidly... The line reads that his countenance is fouled by rage.. The 'foul' descriptor is applying to his countenance, not the rage itself. At least, that is how I read it, and it's actually quite fitting that way.
