Ah "what came before" where cnaiur is stated as dead.

I knew I had read awaken in that context somewhere though, however since it's in the what came before section it carries little weight.

I missed it at first because, honestly, I've never read one of those sections before, despite all the read and rereads I've done.

You could reconcile the inconsistencies if it was one of the Inchoroi who had been scattered to the far corners of the earth, as Esmenet reads in the Sagas in TTT. It posed as Husyelt and bestowed the Tusk but later died, leaving A&A still as the last two, remaining in the Ark.

Good point, that is also plausible.  However, that doesn't reconcile Aurang's statement about being driven out of the Ark though.

Good to see you back though Bolivar.

MG'll be happy. He'd say something like "Collective Forfiture of Sanity!" or something ;).

Nice to see your monicker around, Bolivar.

You were cheating on us with other hobbies?!?

Also, beware, dread TUC spoilers abound in the doors and corners...

“No. I am your end. Before your eyes I will put your seed to the knife. I will quarter your carcass and feed it to the dogs. Your bones I will grind to dust and cast to the winds. I will strike down those who speak your name or the name of your fathers, until ‘Yursalka’ becomes as meaningless as infant babble. I will blot you out, hunt down your every trace! The track of your life has come to me,

Would just like to say well done, H. You spin quite the cogent argument, and I appreciate that. :)

It was a joke! I have too much testosterone to competitively bake cupcakes!

It was Dawn of War III.

I really enjoyed the Dawn of War games, though unfortunately stopped being able to port them to Mac a number of years ago.
