Fill in the Blanks: Are YOU a Pariah?

If any or all of the above tests lead you to suspect you have the Pariah mutation, report to your Commissar immediately – preferably from a distance of five feet or more. Upon successful completion of blank screening, you will be assigned to a specialist unit!

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “Malcador helped me find this. I know how you Custodians love your names...”

Within the glittering stasis field of an auramite display case is a broken slab of limestone carved with a god-king’s cartouche. Rendered in the glyphs of ancient Gyptus, the name within is Ra.

Melpomanei: “On Nine-Thirteen, huntresses wear these pendants as good luck charms. It is said they prevent your heartbeat giving you away.”

A crow feather, blacker than the void, encased in amber and hung from a fine silver chain.

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “A memento mori, of sorts.”

A jar filled with pulverised fragments of priceless proconnesian marble. Collected from the paths of the state gardens, a few are just barely recognisable as the remains of the statue of the Eleventh primarch that once stood in the investiary.

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “I understand you have been exploring the Somnus Citadel. This will be of some assistance.”

Atop a stack of ancient blueprints on crumbling vellum is the Nemesis Seal. Entrusted in millennia past to the Nemesis Praxia, high guardian of the compiled lore and estates temporal of the Silent Sisterhood, the ornately carved blackstone seal contains signet codes to open every door and access every vault in the citadel - save a few reserved only to the Knight-Commander.

☆ : Of the sun, stars, and the moon, which is your muse’s favorite?

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “I always liked the duality of the moon. She may shine in the night, or eclipse the world in shadow.”

♞ : What is your muse’s favorite animal?

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “Owls. They are the huntress-queens of raptors, utterly lethal and silent on the wing.”

❀ : What is your muse’s opinion about flower crowns?

Melpomanei: *puts flower crown on Krole*

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “Not really my style.”

Melpomanei: *puts a second, smaller flower crown on Krole’s topknot*

♬ : Does your muse sing well? Regardless of whether they sing well or not, do they enjoy singing?

Commander Krole: *raises eyebrow* *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “More than a little rusty, I’m sure.”

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “A truesilver pauldron.”

The pauldron is based on the Raptora armorial of the Sisterhood’s vratine armour, but stylised in the form of a raven rather than an eagle and set with a black pearl.

Commander Krole: *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “A digital laser. Always handy in a tight spot.”

The weapon takes the form of a truesilver signet ring bearing two half-crests and an inscription in High Gothic. On the left, the arms of the Madzhab dynasty of Rogue Traders, bordered by the words numquam obliviscar unde venis et quo vadis  - never forget where you come from. On the right, the regimental sigil of the Caelum 66th and nunquam sit est define qui es - never let it define who you are.

Commander Krole: *half-smiles* *hand gestures*

Melpomanei: “With some advice the Emperor once gave me.”
