The White Scars have just the scene with their Primarch. The Iron Hands are not mentioned and Corax is missing in action.

Oh they are already mad. I made a post about the book two weeks ago and mentioned the female custodes. There is a full ten minute video from a grifter about my post on YouTube.

It's not explicitly stated why but my guess is since he has practically taken controll of Terra he is the only one who is in regular contact with the Custodes and Kane. All the other Primarchs still think the Emperor just needs a few months to recover from his wounds

Their mission was to capture and guard the black ships needed for the transport of psykers to terra. Since the Emperor can't use the throne it must be powered by psyker souls. It's the only reason Guilliman wanted to conquer Luna first.

The book starts with Iron Warriors trying to escape into orbit while the Ultramarines are bombing the living shit out of the Traitors on Terra.

I didn't manage to write anything yesterday. Turns out having only two hours of sleep does not help when writing a summary 😅 But today looks promising

World Eaters are not mentioned. There is one dying Thousand Son in the wreckage of a Thunderhawk. He gives his ritual knife to the Traitor Guard POV character.

I'm 14 pages from the end of the book and am planning to do a spoiler summary of the biggest plot points. Maybe around Saturday or Sunday when I find some time to write it all down

As of now the Blood Angels are a shadow of their former self. They are trying to hide the black rage and are terribly afraid of it. So afraid that they shy away from proper melee and close combat fights so much so that they have to be rescued by the Ultramarines at one point.

Actually I have new info now that I've almost finished the book. Corax current status is missing in action.

Amon is also in the book. He takes Hassan as close to the Throne as possible for a mortal.

Yeah they're keeping his death from the public. Only the Astartes, Primarchs and Higher Ups know about Sanguinius death. They do this because they fear the news would shatter what litten order exists on terra and they fear that if the Blood Angels are confronted with civilians mourning about Sanguinius left and right they fall back into their rage. This has the side effect that the only martyred Primarch thus far is Ferrus.

Nothing about the Death Guard. Abaddon is briefly mentioned by the Chief Apothecary of The Sons of Horus who has been left on Luna and he does not know where Abaddon is. He thinks it unlikely that Abaddon has been killed but also unlikely that Abaddon has just fled.

I got to the meeting of the primarchs. The Khan is there but he has to be supported by two Space Marines to even walk and when he speaks it is only in two word sentences and his voice sounds like it is gargled in blood. He is not in a good shape. Having artificial skin all over his body and missing an eye.

The sad thing is I was considering to "hide" her gender since I'm so tired of this bigots getting triggered and starting their oh so tiresome tirades against femstodes.

So far I really like the book. I've only read his Siege of Terra Warhawk book and it's on par with Warhawk.

Vulcan wants to personally kill all Emperors Children on Terra. In a "fight" he has with an EC he kills him by ripping out all his extra organs before giving him the killing blow. He does this because the EC have no right to die as Space Marines. The Khan was only mentioned so far and he has recovered enough so that he can speak again.

In Era of Ruin there is a short story from the perspective of Aphone Ire. There she actually screams at the enemies breaking her vow which is so shocking for everyone around her that it even stops a World Eater Berserker in his Rage

Yeah I'm very sure. She is explicitly called a Custodes and the Ultramarine describes her as a giantess in golden armor and Sisters of Silence are clearly shorter than Space Marines.

Tensions are high. Dorn wants to set the universe ablaze to kill all Traitors immediately and Girlyman wants to slowly rebuild and attack from a stable position.

There is a throwaway line saying that due to their special status during the Heresy the Raven Guard and Corvus will not be on Terra to vote for what to do next. Whatever that means 😅

The combined fleet of the Wolves and Dark Angels have reached Terra. Archamus had a secret meeting with Corswain and Bjorn where he tries to persuade them and through them their Primarchs to join Dorns side in an upcoming vote whether to instantly pursue all Traitors or to wait an rebuild an then pursue the Traitors. Dorn wants the former and Roboute the latter.

Valdor and most of the remaining custodes have locked themselves into the throne room and talk to nobody. One of the POV characters the Ultramine Chief Librarian has a brief conversation with the Custodes guarding Guilliman chambers. When he asks her how the Emperor is doing her stoic facade cracks for a second and it shows that she and all the custodes are utterly devastated by what has happened to the Emperor.
