A while back I made a post asking a few things about the fallen, how many were there, were any good and if the DA would ever let them back in
Anyway, at the bottom some people mentioned this:

I remember some very very old fluff hinting that the Fallen weren't the ones that were traitors.


Can someone expand on this please?

Any info appreciated]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547607/5972352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547607/5972352.page GMT The good fallen? DA codex, not sure if it is in the new one.

But as far as letting them back in? No, that doesn't happen, period. The biggest reward a repentant Fallen will get is a quick and painless death from the Inerrogator-Chaplain. Which considering what unrepentant Fallen get, is a pretty huge mercy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547607/5972359.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547607/5972359.page GMT The good fallen?

"A Heretic may see the truth and seek redemption. He may be forgiven his past and will be absolved in death. A Traitor can never be forgiven. A Traitor will never find peace in this world or the next. There is nothing as wretched or as hated in all the world as a Traitor."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547607/5973477.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547607/5973477.page GMT Re:The good fallen?
Unfortunately the current practice seems quite different. The writers are being more definite in their renditions of the characters and factions, which removes the mystery and provides a narrower or more limited view of the setting. The only defense the players really have against this new style of writing is to conclude that the material is written "form perspective" meaning that it is presented as fact, but from the perspective of the faction being depicted.

For my part, I think the DA being concretely loyal is an exception to my previous statement in that such a change actually does more good than harm to the setting overall. The core focus of the game's drama is played out in the form of Space Marines Vs. Chaos Space Marines. The writing was clever enough that players could logically justify taking either side depending on their personal preference or point of view. The story of Lion and Luther was essentially the same story in a minor key and was more or less redundant. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547607/5974435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547607/5974435.page GMT
