The Thousand-Year Walk

[@zhistoriaprzezzycie1756]

No one has sacrificed as much for the Imperium and humanity as Dorn. Even Sanguinius' sacrifice aboard the Vengeful Spirit pales in comparison to the amount of sacrifice, suffering and dedication that Rogal Dorn has made. He fortified the Imperial Palace against the traitors' attack, while the Emperor struggled with the Webway War, Dorn became the de facto leader of the Imperium, holding it together while the rest of the loyal Primarchs were distracted and the traitors marched towards Terra. He was the one who devoted every waking moment to saving so many lives on Terra from the coming traitors' attack. He was the one who had to deal with Horus' spies, Malcador's intrigues, the Dark Mechanicum rebellion on Mars every day. And for stopping and suppressing each of these flashpoints, he paid the ultimate price. He was the one who had to watch from the heart of the Imperium as his father's dream (which Dorn shared) died before his eyes. How the values ​​and ideals he and his brothers carried on the banners of the Great Crusade are being forgotten, to be replaced by the foundations of a new oppressive regime (built out of necessity to protect the people from the lies of Chaos, but still a regime) that the future Imperium will become in 10 thousand years. And even through all this suffering he never bowed, never surrendered, never allowed himself to be broken by his enemies. Rogal Dorn was as tough as his fortifications, unwavering, impenetrable. Until the very end. No one, no Primarch, has come to know the meaning of the word "sacrifice" better than Rogal Dorn. And for that he deserves eternal honour and glory. Hail Praetorian of Holy Terra!

when you strand the primarch tasked with humanities defense in a desert to turn him toyour side only for him to give a 10 day long lecture about the manufactoring and history of concrete tank traps and sandbags

"Primarch-Progenitor, to your glory and the glory of Him on Earth!"

Steel bend but never breaks , for the emperor!

This is bloody glorious I love how it really show the unmovable wall that Dorn is, even in Khorne's personal pocket dimension with non-stop personal whispers from the god Dorn's willpower never move, he just keep walking. I like to think that at the end Khorne truly offers him everything he can, and Dorn in his dry monotone voice responds to Khorne for the first time in the thousand years he have been trapped "If you completely surrender to my father I will consider your offer" and that brakes the spell as even after a thousand years Dorn is still fully loyal to the Emperor and even if Khorne gives everything he can Dorn will still only consider his offer. Now I can't wait to hear more songs of incredible quality.

Tell khorne he's weak

[@edwinavil7867]

Yes a song about Dorn! We love to see it. This image also goes incredibly hard.

[@Nomad_Red]

I always figured Dorn enjoyed power metal. Head canon I guess. 😂

[@lelieutenant7386]

What's the context? The picture goes insanely hard!!!

[@krained4010]

At the final stage of the siege of Terra, the Emperor and the company decided to conduct the boarding operation "Anabasis", which began very badly - the whole team was scattered - Dorn landed behind the ship, straight into the bare immaterium, in which, for hundreds of years, he walked under the scorching non-sun in the desert, the sand of which was ochre from armor of his son's, and the soil - the corpses of his legioners. Throughout this period, Khorne's whisper sounded in his head, urging the Praetorian to surrender and surrender to primordial rage

[@krained4010]

And that wall, I forgot to mention, which is depicted in the picture - the cladding of the "Vengeful Spirit", which became a resting place for Dorn, where he repeated his mantra: "I Rogal Dorn. The father of the Seventh Legion. The Lord of the Imperial Fists. I am the Emperor's son. I am a Praetorian of Terra. I keep my loyalty. I am steadfast," from which the theses gradually disappeared - by the end there were only two left: "I am Rogal Dorn and I am steadfast."

[@krained4010]

At the same time, by the end, Dorn will openly begin to mock the god of carnage - he will simply begin to read lectures to him on the art of war and its laws

[@Liethen]

When they teleported to the Vengeful Spirit the gods of chaos scattered them around the ship....except Dorn, he was transported to a pocket realm for centuries of isolation in a burning desert while Khorne whispered in his ear trying to corrupt him.

[@hermesonjunior2105]

Is that Rogal dorn?

[@reverseflash5856]
