My theory is this: It is probably Dorn AND Valdor together, who symbolize the King in Yellow. The Palace of Thaumeizin struck me as something Rogal Dorn would be able to pull of in all it´s grandeur and overall aesthetics. I also got the feeling, that with building this new palace he may have made some kind of atonement for his "failure" back in the defence of Terra and the "death" of his father - he is bulding a new kingdom for his father, who is destined to be reborn someday. Valdor and the Adeptus Custodes are helping him with securing it. Doing the spy work, and going places "ethically", Dorn probably never would or wanted to. Don´t you think that they always had an interesting relationship, these two? Dorn and Valdor? Since the Palace exists in a dimension that is connected to/linked to the warp in some way, it lies in waiting for it´s true, reborn God king to return. Kinda "spicy".

If it is Valdor (Im pretty sure it is) Then Greatest ally. The Custodes are literally incapable of betraying the Emperor. They are incorruptible, its mentiones many times, even bt their enemies, like Drach'nyen and the chaos gods. Drach'nyen - "All the stars in the universe will die and fade before a golden one (Custodes) betrays their father (Emperor)" It was also an inner monolog, so its notnlike it was "Second hand" experience, like many innacurate poetions of the lore are (Grey knights bathing in Sororitas blood anyone?) But side note Would be cool if somehow Eisenhorn allys with Valdor and enters his pocket dimension.

But! one that 40k might do if they are going to make valdor an enemy. Is the mind control sub-trope of perspective manipulation. Essentially he would be working against the emperor in his actions, but in his mind he is working for the emperor, this one would make the spear he received from the emperor a far sight gift.

Part of this is me being a Dorn fan and wanting him to return and I know this is out in left field and definitely not going to be what actually happens. So assuming it is Valdor and he does return in some capacity I think he will be in opposition to the Imperium because of the whole worship of the emperor thing. It's also shown in a lot of books that the custodes don't really like the primarchs and think they were a mistake so he will probably not side with Bobby G. I for one can't wait for the third book, but am guessing it will be a while because Abnett has to finish the last two siege of terra books if they aren't done already.

Constantin Valdor, the most loyal guardian of The Emperor. He would and could do anything at all for The Master of Mankind, including things that would be considered heresy or things that would bring ruin to humanity. Leman Russ, the most loyal dog of the Emperor's and a very good boy. He will do Almost anything to safeguard and watch over mankind as a whole. He acts vicious and he is but like any dog, he's essentially perfectly moral and will always do what he feels is the right thing to do..

I think the Emperor planned the whole thing. It's a classic Messiah story, like Jesus. At some point, he realised the threats facing humanity is too great and he won't be able to win. He needs to become more than a man, he needs to become a god. The worship of him is no coincidence. It's fueling his birth as the next warp god. When he finally "dies", there will be a tremendous outpouring of worship and faith towards him and that'll be the catalyst for his ascension. Long live the omnissiah!

He can be the greatest servant of the emperor and at the same time the greatest enemy of the imperium. The king can see the empire as a disgusting shadow of the dream of the emperor and he could want to destroy it to build it a new.

If it is Valdor, then he could be seeking the true name of the emperor in order to revive him. In many mythos where beings have a true name, the invocation of a true name can give the speaker absolute control over the being in any extent, including bringing them back from death or recovering from mortal injury. In Egyptian myth, Isis uses Ra's true name in order to heal him from a snake's incurable venom. (the snake was make by Isis using Ra's saliva, that's why it nothing else would work. Because Ra was the most powerful god, a snake made from some of his essence would be stronger than any medicine or healing spell.)

Would he be creating a strike force to stabilize the webway? Maybe close it up with cooperation between Cawl and Eldar, allowing Big E to regenerate, potentially also creating a different astronomicon copying the Pharos? I’m probably confused about it all, as it’s 3am and my brain is scrambled 😂

The big question is "what does he intend to do with the Emperor's True Name?" The three answers that immediately come to mind are control, kill, or revive. If it's control, I could see a number of motives, including that he has turned against the Emperor, or could be acting to repair the Emperor's damaged soul . If it's kill, again, the possibility exists that he's turned against the Emperor, but he could also be acting on some sort of secret order of from the Emperor to end his pain. If it's "revive," I could see him using Radical Thorian Inquisitors, such as Horusians or Casophilians, as agents of his will, which has not been shown so far, though I would not presume to constrain the mind of Dan Abnett. And slight correction, Graels are "reverse daemonhosts," being human flsh coated in the Warp rather than daemonhosts which are Warp entities coated in human flesh.

Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa. Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies, But stranger still is Lost Carcosa. Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the King, Must die unheard in Dim Carcosa. Song of my soul, my voice is dead, Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa.

I hope he is on the side of the Imperiam/Emperor. I feel like the threats are becoming overwhelming and some balance needs to be restored. Having the return of 2 primarchs so far is a good start. If that didn't happen then the whole thing would feel completely hopeless. I know it is kind of the theme but having some parity makes it more interesting than complete doom and gloom.

@@adrienwatson2179 Correct. It also strikes me as kind of absurd that the true name of the emperor is in a library of Chaos or in the Black Library. The Ruinous Powers absolutely hate and fear the Emperor, if they had such a weapon, they’d use it, immediately. The Harlequins are a little different, but again, it would be a very powerful bargaining chip to use against the Emperor, they’d use it. What seems most likely is that Valdor is on a secret mission of some kind, whether given to him by the Emperor, or one he undertook on his own. It could be anything. Finding the tree, finding Primarchs, or even just holding back a threat until the Emperor’s plan comes to fruition.
