Xioni Erebis"Your Lord/Ladyship, allow us to thank you once again for this honour. Though we left the flagship a long time ago, it is a pleasure to be in the presence of a Lord Captain again." Xioni looks at you with a pensive, unblinking gaze, her eyes darker than the night sky.
Randor Erebis"We realise that your attention to House Erebis was brought on by some manner of circumstances. Please let us know how we can be of service to you, and we will do what you require."
Kibellah"A keen observation." Randor's eyes meet Kibellah's as she speaks, but he is not intimidated. On the contrary, the corner of his mouth curves upward slightly, and he gives a respectful nod.
YOU"Tell me about the Erebis family."
Randor Erebis"Sadly, we are but a shadow of what was once a much more numerous clan. Most of our kinspeople fell in combat, but we believe the Erebises' last battle is yet to be fought. We raise cohorts of successors. We teach new recruits — and our own children — the ins and outs of void service before they even set foot on board. The new generation... are learning to serve in their own way."
Xioni Erebis"Our eldest son, Mattis, is on the planetary guard. So is Lorna, our eldest daughter, though she has devoted herself to medicine. And to my great surprise and elation, our younger children, Rono and Lumi, have found their vocation in serving the God-Emperor and the Ecclesiarchy."

YOU"Do you remember Theodora well?"
Randor Erebis"I won't lie, Your Lord/Ladyship, we never saw her in person. We did not have the rank. Even her favour was bestowed on us in the form of a document penned and delivered by a scribe. But we remember her orders, and they were reflective of all the courage and fervour of a true Rogue Trader."

YOU"I am looking for a Naaki Erebis. The ship's archives mention several of your ancestors, but the one I need is a living person."
Randor ErebisThe couple exchange glances again. "Our clan had... has a tradition. We name our children in honour of our past heroes: Mattis and Naaki Erebis, the twin founders of our family. A great warrior and a keeper of knowledge."
Xioni Erebis"Legend had it that a great future awaited bearers of those names. Every Mattis or Naaki Erebis would add to the clan's renown, and they would prove faithful assistants to any Lord Captain they served. But legends are just that, legends. It is not names that give people strength but the faith inside their hearts."
YOU"Is there currently anyone named Naaki in your household?"
Xioni Erebis"No... No one has borne that name for many years now."

YOU"Your son bears the name Mattis."

YOU"Then why did you name your daughter Lorna and not Naaki? Did you not want her to become great?"
Randor Erebis"I didn't—"
Kibellah"They did name a daughter Naaki." Kibellah's words hang heavy in the air.
Xioni ErebisXioni Erebis nods slowly in response, a sad smile upon her lips. "We did. But the Emperor took her from us. The Undying Emperor."

YOU"The Undying Emperor? You were followers of the Bloodspun Web?"
Xioni Erebis"No, Your Lordship/Ladyship. Randor and I, we have always been stalwart in our faith, and we revered the spinners' service, but their sacred path was too dark and frightening for us."
Randor Erebis"We may not have understood the deeds of the Bloodspun Web, but we never doubted that the spinners carried out His will, for they gave their all to their duty. It is a heavy duty, but a true duty always is."
Kibellah"Enough." Kibellah's cold, raspy voice sends a shiver down your spine.
