So I think it was around early act 3 or late act 2 of my first run some time ago that I'm made up this BS conspiracy that boils down to "would Theodora Von Valancius be above Frankensteining an heir?"

The franken-heir would be from different lines that broke off the main bloodline or whichever line Theodora was from.

And while I was tinkering if I can apply it for my Rogue traders backstory (context : I have no prior knowledge or knowhow about Warhammer prior to this game- I got into it cuz my crush recommended it to me )

At the time my thoughts were

would that be humanly possible? no? (Well now my thoughts are, if a shit ton of augments can be done in sure this is kinda possible- it not uhhh- fckjng magic of plot armor then)

I give you Frankensteined heir to the dynasty that didn't know they were basically Frankensteined from other heirs that were dumped as babies- or sum messed up (I learned from the game Warhammer universe is just MESSED UP MESSED UP like that)

Also other Frankensteined heir stayed in the same squadron (or whatever term is accurate, my RT was a Navy Officer :D)

I mean the whole squadron wasn't all to possible von Valancius heirs- BUT A GOOD CHUNK is and I think that's fucked up, that they all. . . Tragically died. . . Suspiciously. . . A year before Theodora just NEEDED to train another heir just as Kunrad was removed from the line of succession and Edelthrad seemed all fine and dandy as the secondary choice after Kunrad. . .but suddenly Edelthrad is primary choice and they need a new spare- HMMM suspicious indeed-

On a side note I may have lost the plot for this conspiracy at some point and decided to just shove as many telenovela level twist but basically, frankensteined heir arrives not really as an heir but so Theodora can possibly fuck up the expanse even beyond the grave-

How she will do that isn't fully plotted in my head but sumthin sumthin take soul and put it into Franken heir sumthing sumthin (the soul transfer is new addition to the conspiracy seeing as my current run has the Lex imperialis and Void Shadows DLC . . . I'd like to implement the new lore I've encountered simply because what the hell was da point of body swapping with Maive!!! The poor girl, she didn't need all that 😭 )

"Why chose ? "

In a Nomos induced event (not canon) where different versions of the RT meets.

Hiraya "only a little heresy for fun" Von Valancius talks about almost having her Harem,

Only to be outdone by Hiram "I shall be kind <3" Von Valancius who somehow ended up getting more admirers than anticipated.

Meanwhile Hirang "I do it for the dynasty!" Von Valancius is having a heart attack horrified of the possibility that he could be like these psychopaths . . . Choosing literally a bunch of xenos, heretics, or low life mutants over his perfect law-abiding spouse.

Beside the other powerful people in the expanse. . . My little guy is just a little goofy guy. He doesn't know how he got here : D he's doing his best.

I'm thinking of writing a fanfic that's just a series of events where RT's just piss of Calcazar.

I don't know yet if I want to write it from Calcazar's Point of View (perks we see the reaction) or specifically Heinrix's POV ( see both the scheming and the reaction)

Obviously to me it should culminate in some sort alliance between rogue traders chorda, Winterscale and von Valancius. Cuz I mean who wants to listen to Xavier Calcazar monologue anyways- specially when he sits where he does not belong (that is my chair damn it!)
