House Perdaxia - House History: Following the events of Paramar V, where the Titans of the Legio Fureans spearheaded the invasion of that Imperial planet during the opening days of the Horus Heresy, the Titan Legion was oft seen marching to battle accompanied by Knight armours painted in the orange and black of the Legio Fureans, albeit the two colours often inverted.Little effort was expended in determining the origin of such a practice, with those few who turned their minds to such instances assuming such sightings were nothing more than elements of House Mordred, itself a vassal household of the Forge World of Incaladion, given special leave to bear the Titan Legion's iconography.Further analysis, conducted long after Paramar V had fallen, revealed flaws in this conclusion, with perhaps the most damning being the presence of runic script and icons upon the Knights' armour consistent with the language of the tribes of Sasharam, a moon in close proximity to Incaladion. Almost universally, such Knight armours bore the etched name of Perdaxia on their carapace, leading Imperial records to denote the mystery force as House Perdaxia.The moon itself, though largely devoid of life thanks to much of its surface being rendered uninhabitable by blistering storms of irradiated particulate and the deadly rad-phage beasts that roam the wastes, was largely ignored by the Imperium. What few inhabitable areas existed were home to technologically-deficient tribes, their peoples often abducted by the Legio Fureans to replenish the Titan Legion's ranks.Attempts by external agents to mount expeditions to the moon, under the auspice of archaeological missions to investigate potential locations for terraforming, were consistently blocked by the Incaladion Mechanicum during the Great Crusade. Given the isolationist nature of that Forge World, such rebukes were to be expected as the moon fell within the borders of Incaladion's holdings.Later revelations of a Knight household with potential links to the moon suggest a more sinister reason for the moon's isolation, with some Tech-priests proposing that rad-shielded fortresses could easily be shrouded by the moon's rad-storms, offering a clandestine staging ground for a previously unheard-of Knight household.To this day, only circumstantial evidence ties the mystery Knight household to the moon of Sasharam; the use of the language associated with the stellar body's tribes, evidence of techno-ritualistic behaviour consistent with the practices of the Legio Fureans and the prevalence of bond markings declaring a Knight armour's servitude to Incaladion, all suggest close ties with the Traitor Forge World. Perhaps more worrying is the length of time which House Perdaxia has been in service to the Forge World and vassal to its Titan Legion.Analysis of fallen House Perdaxia Knights suggests many were Freeblades who flocked to the Warmaster Horus' side during the Horus Heresy, no doubt latching onto a Titan Legion to secure a position within the Traitors' force. Nevertheless, over half of the household's numbers were more ancient in design and construction, hinting that House Perdaxia may have existed before the Forge World joined the Imperium, a theory supported by revelations that House Perdaxia Knights recovered during the Horus Heresy matched records of Knights deployed alongside the Legio Fureans during the Great Crusade, both times resplendent in the Titan Legion's colours.Such an occurrence would mean the household was purposefully kept secret, perhaps intended as a reserve force should Incaladion be forced to make war upon the Imperium. Regardless of its true origins, House Perdaxia proved steadfastly loyal to the Tiger Eyes, sacrificing dozens of Scions to save a single god-engine, their deadly skill greatly augmenting Incaladion's order of battle.
