  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Cquote1
The Codex Astartes is the holy tome of these loyal Battle Brothers. The wisdom of the ancients is both scripture and the unbending rod by which they are measured. In war they are as fierce and as steadfast as those of old who stood beside the Emperor and broke the Legions of Horus. In faith and valour they are unmatched. The torches of their chapels burn bright with flames whose holy fire has shown upon an unchanging brotherhood for a hundred centuries. In their lives and in war the Codex Astartes is their guide.
—Warhammer 40,000

Tanalasta pointed to the three trails. "According to the Steel Princess's Field Guide to Tactics of the Purple Dragon, that's the standard riding formation for a company with a heavy complement of war wizards. Warriors shielding sorcerers."

"You read that?" Alusair replied, lifting a brow. "I doubt half the lionars in the army have cracked the cover."

"Perhaps because your style was stiff," said Tanalasta.

"I'll be happy to help you liven it up in a revision."

Alusair's tone grew as terse as her syntax. "There isn't going to be a revision--there's going to be an order." She pointed at the boot print. "I suppose you've read my little book on tracking as well?"

It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country. This means that both he and you have exactly the same aim in mind.
