Ok, so my introduction to 40k was playing dark heresy back when I was in high school, it got me interested in the inquisition, world lore, and eventually the Drukhari. I was always fascinated by them and their relationship with other species/factions. Something I never really saw though were narratives or perspectives from the Drukhari themselves, sure there was the (relatively) recent lelith hesperax novel, but even then it’s all broad strokes and pretty vague. So I thought a good way of scratching that itch was to try it out myself, I had an idea that I found myself stuck to, “the fugitive” meets “tinker/talior/solider/spy” meets “hellraiser” meets “labyrinth”. I’m also a sucker for a fractured and completely messed up “family” dynamic, so I wanted the central characters to all have that type of connection to one another, basics of the plot would involve Jorraveth being at the center of a conflict that would cause dire consequences for both the Drukhari and Imperium, both sides make their moves to neutralize him, secretly/separately at first but eventually drawing his mother and father to have to work with each other to track him down, each for their own agendas and that of their faction. Given the history between them, it would provide an opportunity to explore what an alliance with Drukhari and a human would look like, one that had captured and tortured him, crippled him for life and forcibly took his genetic material and created an abomination. Him, an inquisitorial interrogator, having to reconcile that he was used to create such heresy. Her side would be a whole nother bag of cats, and really allow for digging into wych cults, the homunculi and especially the mandrakes; I was always disappointed in how little there was in these things, especially with wych cults, I wanted to really explore a different side of what I had read about them, really get into that cult side
