Delphantic Council

The Delphantic Council is a secret organisation within the Iron Revenants legion, created by Araphel during the late Great Crusade. As Araphel’s paranoia deepened, he began to suspect that the Legiones Astartes, and the domains of certain Primarchs, had grown to a point that they posed a threat to the Imperium. As such, he created the Delphantic Council to begin collecting and analysing tactical information about the other legions and then provide this information to Araphel. The Council’s existence is not known outside of the legion, as the group makes sure that there were no official references to the group and two members were not allowed to be together in the same room or active in the same theatre.

The Delphantic Council’s members are spread across the legion and different ranks, so as to make them seem as disconnected as possible. The Eighth Chapter has an overrepresentation due to their enhanced reconnaissance roles, but in some way information from all chapters is included. Araphel is the only person who the Council reports to, as the information is deemed some of the most sensitive in the Legion.

The Delphantic Council’s knowledge grew throughout the Halcyon Age as the Legion Exchange Programme bore fruit, and the first simulations of legion against legion fighting were created and put into use. These simulations would play a key role to prepare the legion’s high command for the First Ruin.
