9 Circles of Hell -> 9 Traitor Legions....
I am the sort who likes to fantasize about useless things and i was for some reason thinking about a DOOM x Dante's Inferno crossover the other day and it struck me:
There are 9 Circles of hell and 9 traitor legions. It was too beautiful to ignore as I imagined the world of Dante's inferno containing the souls of of the traitor legions....
Imagine each Legion being associated with one of the circles of hell - and if you were to travel there (either as a poet, doomslayer, or 40k hero) you'd encounter the appropriate marines in the appropriate circles
Some are easy, some i'm only partially happy with, some I could really use some help / suggestions
| Circle | Legion | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| I Limbo | XX Alpha Legion | Unknown |
| II Lust | III Emperor's Children | Slaanesh (Duh) |
| III Gluttony | XIV Death Guard | Not an exact match, but Nurgle is fat and it fits thematically |
| IV Greed | IV Iron Warriors (?) | Not sure where else to put them, Thousand sons could also go here - but in this case they are greedy because they betrayed basically because they wanted more recognition? |
| V Anger | XII World Eaters | RAGE!!!! |
| VI Heresy | XVII Word Bearers | The heresy of worshipping the Chaos Gods |
| VII Violence | VIII Night Lords | I mean the World Eaters could also have gone here - blood for the blood god right? But i feel like Anger = rage, and Violence = Sadism so they go here.....agree? |
| VIII Fraud | XV Thousand Sons (?) | I struggle here but i think it makes sense because they are always searching for forbidden lore...lore...truth.....opposite of fraud??? I dunno.....they could also be greed for always wanting more lore?? |
| IX Betrayal | XVI Black Legion | Duh |
What do you guys think?
If this is the wrong sub i do apologize btw.
