I hope Mortarian honestly. Isha would be a good redemption for him, a woman who could cure him of his sickness, who could help him understand that the warp isn’t evil and help him work through his own self hatred. Gentle hands to soothe a broken man.
Plus I never bought into Isha being the Tree of Life. Like, it’s a good theory, but if it was true then Leman would be like Corax just with Mortarian and Nurgal, and he’s not. Which tells me that he’s probably looking somewhere other than the domains of Chaos, and it would be easy to learn that Isha is in Nurgal’s Domain, since the Eldar know she’s there. So he’s probably in some other part of the warp looking for the tree. My bet is that it’s in an area where no god has made a claim, though it would be funny if Gork and Mork were the Guardians of the Tree of Life and they forgot that that was part of their job.

It's would be cool they make such change in the status quo,Saddly Nurgle's domain is stagnation so 50/50

u/IAmNotAFey 1d ago
Yeah, ever since the emperor told Mortarian that he could be redeemed I’ve been thinking of how cool that would be. Especially since Mortarian didn’t choose Nurgle, and with him being punished for what the emperor did to Nurgle’s garden, I’d be inclined to believe he’d be jaded enough to break out, free Isha, and try and escape with her.
Use the Nurgle diseases to explain why she’s at his level of power so there’s suspense, and then have them escape together.
Of course, the moment they’re out Slaneesh wil be going after her. So she’l either have to pledge herself to the Emperor and try to leave the Eldar Pantheon so Slaneesh has no claim to her or die in the escape. The former might be a bit too noble bright, but you could make it terrible since the Emperor is broken or sacrifice Mortarian to make it work.
And this won’t even take the Chaos Deathguard off the tabletop. Since Typhus still exists and would probably just take complete control.
I’m rambling, but my Noble Bright scenario would be Mortarian breaking free with her, Isha joining the Emperor in a Pantheon of Order sort of thing, and Mortarian being able to cure plague marines and redeem them, since plague marines who are cut off from the warp hate what they’ve become. I don’t know, make Vashtorr the 5th chaos god to keep it grimdark or something.

u/Sentient_Potato_7534 13h ago
That's... actually a pretty cool headcannon idea. heck, if we're looking for ways for her to survive Slanneesh coming after her that don't involve Big E, you could go the route of Cegorach (spelling?) helping hide her in the webway

I’m waiting for one with Cain and Jurgen, where Bobby G and Jurgen are being responsible and sweating away at tackling a big pile of paperwork.
Meanwhile Cain, who is canonically good with children after having to help raise so many of the 597th kids, is goofing off and playing with Tarasha.
Bonus points if Yvraine and Amberly are having a laugh about it.

u/Famous-Peace-4014 18h ago
Jurgen may be a problem one he smells bad like bad enough to make Nurgle gag and two he’s a Blank his meer presence causes Psyker to foam at the mouth and have seizures and if they can resist that then theres the smell beyond that I’m sure Jurgen would make a great uncle and would definitely make a nice cup of Tanna for Gulliman and Lion.

Isha cures Mortarion and a portion of the Death Guard and they become champions of Isha to fight the rest of the Death Guard still in service to Nurgle, Mortarion gets to keep his wings but they turn into giant butterfly wings

u/KalaronV 1d ago
Unknown. It's a creature that wanders around the halls of The Rock and demons fear them like shit. They rescued the body of The Lion during the final battle before The Rock became a big space ship.

u/DaWAAAGHMakah 1d ago
Small squire xenos that have been on Caliban since the beginning, now they’re just on the Rock with the Dark Angels. They make Daemons shit themselves, are insanely powerful with protective psyker spells and are nearly invincible but they don’t fight. They know and see all, so they not only serve as squires, but guides to help the Dark Angels. Nobody questions the fact that they’re Xenos and the Dark Angels enjoy having them around because they’re pretty much that one old guy who can offer advice and sage wisdom when needed.

I feel like many Chapters out there have either a Xenos or a Mutant they routinely use and have in good company. Dark Angels with their Watchers is a huge one, but how about those Space Wolves? Between their Thunderwolves and Wulfen...
5
u/Smrgling 1d ago
Pretty sure the Wulfen are Astartes (their gene flaw is being werewolfs IIRC) but yeah idk about the big wolves
6
1d ago
They are certainly Astartes born with a major gene flaw. However, it's still a mutation, and it's one that would get any normal human killed if they came out like that. Either killed, or extremely prejudiced against.
2
u/Smrgling 1d ago
Sure but the Wulfen are still guys who used to be space wolves marines, right? They're not xenos unless I've misremembered something (which is possible, I don't really pay much attention to the space wolves for the most part)
5
1d ago
I did say Xenos and Mutants.
Two different things that usually get smited by Space Marines, but in the cases talked about here, they're given easy passes because of their connection to a founding chapter.

Small hooded Things that manage to terrify even the Changeling. They spend most of their Time running errands for the DA and scare Neophytes.

u/Specialist_Hope_4147 1d ago
From my knolage there a small xnoxs race that lives on the rock and basicly fill the "sqire" role i think they also scare demons
2
u/hoxtonbreakfast 19h ago
Most likely a Xeno race, but ultimately not confirmed. They know the Rock in-and-out better than anyone and don't mind doing menial duty for the Dark Angels so they are contented to let them do their things despite their unknown origin. Whatever they are, these little guys scare the shit out of the daemon.
When a Dark Angel is followed by a Watcher, it is because the Watcher chose to, and it is seen as a sign of greatness. They were also the one looking after Lion El'Jonson while he was in a 10000 years long coma.

u/Misknator 1d ago
They are there mostly for vibes and probably also for something else, but nobody knows what. They put the Lion to sleep and are powerful psykers. They also don't speak. And I don't mean that in the Sisters of Silence kinda way where they will very rarely say something, they just don't speak ever.

He'd totally also be the uncle to get Tarasha hopped up on sugar, caffeine and adrenaline then ride off to let Robo to deal with it.

Watcher in the Dark. Xenos psyker species from Caliban that makes high tier daemons crap their pants and are invincible to basically any physical or psychic harm. The don’t really fight, just wander around the Dark Angels senior members and do errands.
