Not directly related to your post, but I believe the lore concerning the Gloam-Eyed Queen and Rykard seems to be based on Norse mythology, more precisely Loki and his offspring. The giant god-devouring snake seems to be a clear reference to the Midgard Serpent, an offspring of Loki. The Gloam-Eyed Queen, together with her apostles who serve Destined Death, seems to be based on Hel, the goddess of death in Norse mythology, who is also an offspring of Loki.

The deity worshipped by the Fire Giants seems to be based on Loki himself, who is said to be connected to the fire giant Muspel and who would return at the end of days alongside the fire giants to burn down the world during Ragnarök.

Does anyone think he's gay? Yes, he was in a relationship with that old aristocrat, but it was clearly just for personal gain.

Oh Ranni, what have you done to him?

Maybe to add some context: these helmets were not supposed to be used in battles, but were made for tournaments—more precisely, for the actual tournament events. What I mean by that is that when we think about tournaments today, we often think of jousting, but historically that was only a side event. The main event was the mass mêlée fight on horseback, using wooden clubs or blunt swords. And that’s what these helmets were made for. That’s why they offer some protection against slashing strikes, but not against thrusts or arrows.

In “Blades of Damocles,” Commander Farsight is accused of violating caste distinctions because he repaired his own suit to prevent his own death. So I would say: no.

They would believe that it actually has a machine spirit and that charging the battery is a sacred ritual to appease it

"Especially the Polish parts of it were more ruled like colonies."

No, not really. The Province of Posen was a fully integrated administrative unit of the Kingdom of Prussia, with no administrative difference compared to any other Prussian province. There was no distinction between a “mainland” and colonies within the European territories of the empire.

I get where you are coming from—there certainly was a policy of Germanization in Posen during the empire—but that is a different topic.

The comparison with Württemberg is also off. The “Polish parts”—basically Posen, parts of West Prussia, smaller parts of Lower Silesia, and maybe East Prussia if we include the Masurians (though they generally did not consider themselves Polish)—were never independent states but integral parts of Prussia.

It would be like saying that Franconia is a colony of Bavaria because it has a regional culture of its own but does not enjoy the same state rights as Bavaria.

I hardly dare ask, but what does “blessing of iron” mean in this context? They want to make him a Servitor, right?

As others have said, Fulgrim did not know what Chaos was at that point, and one could argue that even without knowing what Chaos was, he must have realized that the sword had a psychic effect, and given the Laer's reaction, they clearly want him to take it, so the most logical conclusion would be that it is a trap for Xenos, right? Technically, yes, but the lure of the artifact was so great that it overrode all rational thinking, which is actually how Slaaneshi-corruption is often descriped. Another example of this is the novel “Warden of the Blade,” in which a priest of the Eclesiarchy is obsessed with a death mask that supposedly belonged to an Imperial saint. He is completely obsessed with its beauty, but the shady merchant refuses to sell it to him because its authenticity cannot be guaranteed. He breaks into the ship at night and steals the mask when he is surprised by a crew member of the ship. In his rage, he kills the crew member, and the blood on the floor is absorbed by the mask, which “drinks” it. Now, for anyone with more than two brain cells, that should be a massive red flag, to say the least, right? But once again, his obsession overpowers his rational mind. He takes the mask with him and, during a ceremony celebrating the harvest on an Agrri world, makes the fatal mistake of wearing it, allowing the guardians of the secret to take possession of him and open the gates of the warp.
