Jarog

The last head of the Triglav, the Jarog are the psykers of the XIVth Legion, librarians in any of their cousins forces, Bartosz wished to keep these powerful warriors close to monitor them, well aware of what they could do if their training slipped. For a time, that was all they were, little different from other members of their kind in the Watchers of Akhet or the Silver Basilisks. This would change however when Bartosz and the Triglav made contact with the Forge World of Selvanus Binary, helping to free the world from a centuries old logic virus, and earning the worlds undying respect, something few others could say.

Even before the Age of Strife, Selvanus Binary was a recluse world, refusing to share the secrets of their artificial moon, the so called ‘Vaults’, filled as they were with ancient and potent technology. None outside the Priesthood of Selvanus Binary had set foot upon the world or its moon for thousands of years, its secrets held safely behind twenty defencive platforms of immense scale and power. It is here that most delegates are received by the priesthood and turned away, even emissaries of mars denied access to the worlds technology, but in an unprecedented show of gratitude from the forge world, Bartosz and his sons wer permitted to proceed further, Bartosz proceeding alone to visit the vaults alongside the High Fabricator of the world.

When the pair exited many days later, Bartosz did so with a new gift for his sons, granted to him by the High Fabricator. Small power packs, sharing an STC heritage with Astartes Power Armour, containing ancient and powerful personal teleportation arrays, far smaller than anything in use by the wider Imperium. Bartosz quickly saw the use of these, though bound by honour to ensure only his sons would use the gift of the High fabricator, for they had been given to the XIVth, and the XIVth alone.

The devices were dangerous, travelling through the warp unprotected for even an instant all but a death sentence for an unshielded lifeform, but for the members of the Jarog, this could be lessened, focusing their own psychic powers inwards, rather than manifesting them outwards. This allows the warriors some level of protection, and allows them to utilise this incredibly potent device for the good of the Imperium. With their new wargear in place, the Jarog became the Warp Striders, stepping through the Immaterium itself, appearing from nowhere with pairs of powered sabres known as Phantom Warblades, or wielding deadly Volkite Serpenta’s. The strongest psykers of the XIVth were not organised into Warp Strider squads however, for they were a cut above the rest of the legions librarians, able to both step through the warp and still cast their mighty powers outwards. Suffice to say, these warriors were rarely seen upon the battlefield, a small mercy for the enemies of Terra and the Palatine Wings.

In the wake of Nikaea, the Jarog suffered, forced to return to restrict their use of their powers, and as such retiring their teleporter packs, sealing them away in hidden vaults across the galaxy. The Jarog itself remained in place, all warriors still screening positive for psychic potential being sent to its ranks. This was not to defy the Emperor however, Chaplains ensuring its ranks kept rigidly to the Edict of Nikaea, in Bartosz’s mind it was merely the best solution, the warriors kept in a single place to be carefully watched as was demanded. Watched, that is, until the shattering at Istvaan, the Emperor’s edict suddenly finding little purchase within the desperate ranks of the XIVth, survivors quickly seeking out the technology put to rest in decades past.
