Throwing my vote in for the King in Yellow being Dorn, because of that comment about even dust obeying the will of the king. Dorn can do more than just quiet the warp - he can impose reality upon the warp. That's the perfect way to create a safe, stable pocket dimension -- and the perfect reason for the lore to have changed from having Dorn's amber-encased body on the Phalanx to just his hand. (He doesn't want that hand back, obviously.) That said, Valdor is definitely involved -- and so is Russ, even if Russ tried to have his sons help rid him of his spear.

I've heard some ideas that while he would likely be reborn, it could take so long the imperium collapses without him. As the warp demons would flood into terra without him keeping them out.

But I think that is the "break in case of emergency option" with Vulcan having the key to the golden throne that makes it self destruct potentially. With big e telling him to basically pull the plug if shit really hits the fan. All speculation though!

Could be the king in yellow could be Dorn. An just wanted to say love listening to you. Keep them coming

I have a few theories. 1 Maybe Constantin Valdor and the King In Yellow share a name with the former earning the name upon besting the latter. 2 Maybe a duality of character is at play with the King In Yellow being a manifestation of something suppressed within Valdor himself resulting in a split petsonality. 3 Maybe, Valdor and the King In Yellow have become to the Emperor and the Custodes a more pronounced version of what The Sanguinor and Mephiston are to Sanguinius and the Blood Angels.

The King in Yellow is Rogal Dorne, no I will not explain why.

The alpha legion and valor are working on the ferrus beacon to replace the astronamican to free emps

My predicted roadmap of primarch returns will look like: •Angron (later this year) •Fulgrim •The Lion •Possibly Rogal Dorn, possibly Vulkan, possibly Corvus Corax •Leman Russ (with Constantin Valdor close by) •Other traitor primarchs

It's like you go through my audible account and make videos about whatever I'm listening to haha.just getting into a valdor deep dive now. Love it

Valdor’s definitely one of my favorite characters

It seems to me. The Lion would be the best primarch to come back next. His ability to wage prolonged campaigns. Against all sorts of nasty opponents. Would be a great counter point to Guilliman. Jonson is not likely to be happy at the state of the emperium. But he's also not likely to waste time sulking around. He would show up frown, a lot. Gather forces and jump straight into battle. The only other 2 I would also consider are Russ and maybe Dorn. All the rest of the primarchs are to niche. And would work better if they came in later.

Lets stay focused on the problems in front of us."

The Lion would likely come into conflict with Guilliman. The Lion is fanatically loyal to Big E, and never trusted Guillimans ambition, I mean he did initially view Imperium Secundus as a betrayal. Without Sanguinius to cool relations between them I doubt they would at all want anything to do with the other. I think this would be a great story to go with, two primarchs that hate each other yet both are totally loyal to the Imperium. Plus, The Lion does not know what happened to Big E or that his legion was broken up by none other than Guilliman.

So I'm just gonna throw this out there, as much as I love it to be Valdor there is another that wore Yellow as their primary color in battle and who has so far disappeared except for a fragment of them. Could the King in Yellow be Rogal Dorn, wandering the warp and slaying chaos where it lies trying to return to his chapter and the Imperium?

Well here is a thought I have had before. What if the tree of life is the Eldar god trapped in Nurgles garden. That would be interesting, a pack of wolves tearing through the garden looking for the ‘tree’

I'd lean toward it being Dorn with King in Yellow. Although I think the Lion will be the next loyalist to return to the setting.

What I would love to see is an old russ a wise old odin. arive on the rock and go wake his brother up with a change of pradime with russ wise and lion rampant lol would make a great story

I think that the name of King jn Yellow is either John Grammaticus or Oll Person. Everyone forgets about Enuncia story line, the major problem in Ravenor/Eisenhorn series. And as for Valdor and Russ....Valdor still plays Blood Game in Webway, tries to wipe out the hordes of demons in it, also he is looking for someone who disappeared in Webway. And there are more candidates than one :)

It wouldn’t shock me if they revealed it to be valdor but held back on using him for a little while, then bring him in to save the day at some point. (Maybe the genestealer cult from the new box set on Terra get too powerful, start to beat back the custodes and then in comes valdor to save the day with his army)

I'm thinking Corax and the Khan are also in play

Wonder if Russ has become a big ass wolf like corax when he embrace his warp power

What if, now hear me out, what if Russ returned, and he went and woke up the Lion with a punch?

If it's not Valdor then who? Whoever it is has resulted in the Aeldari perceiving their actions to be enough of a threat that they are sending the forces of multiple craftworlds to destroy an Imperial planet which is a pretty extreme reaction. Personally I think the idea that it's Valdor continuing the Emperor's plan to bypass the warp (or what he thinks is the plan) makes a lot of sense. The "King in Yellow" has built a pocket dimension in the City of Dust with hidden entrances and that sounds an awful lot like an effort to rebuild the Imperial Webway to me. Out of anyone Valdor is one of the few people who may have access to the sort of resources (blood angel geneseed) and secret technology (clones of psykers) required for such an effort. I just can't think who else in the lore could achieve what the KIY has achieved. Abnett has said these books are setting up something really significant that he was surprised GW allowed him to do so I don't think it's going to be an inconsequential third book.

The King in Yellow is also a reference to The King in Yellow, book of short stories by the American writer Robert W. Chambers.

Long past time they brought back Russ and The Lion. It's time we get some balance against the Chaos Lords.

Because if Valdor was in the warp doing anything, it literally could have been yesterday, when he went in. The Warp doesn't obey time, and that means that if GW wants to pull anything that doesn't make sense out of the bag, the warp did it is a viable excuse.

The part where you mention Russ searching for the tree of life I instantly remembered the story The Crimson King and what Ahriman said after he had a vision of some sorts. It was like "Arvida, the tree if life?" I try to find the passage, but since we know Revuel Arvida is Janus and that his old name has a connection to the tree of life gives me hope that Janus and Russ will meet at some point. I know, Janus is supposed to be dead, but can you imagine Russ meeting the best shard of Magnus and what they could accomplish? What do you think about that guys?

You assume that Valdor in the current timeline has been successful at whatever he was planning to do.

Two metaphysical blades outright spells it out. Their destinies are linked. As to the King in Yellow. There's the golden ships in a fantastically large and impressive city of high technology staffed by pariahs. A fight against chaos with legions of winged astartes. This clearly isn't some kind of rinky dinky operation. It's got bottomless resources, or nearly so. It's veiled in secrecy, as much as possible at least. The parallels with Titan are obvious, the only difference is the scale. That, however, is easy to explain when you take into account the few years it took for Titan and you extrapolate what could have taken place over 10 millennia. Does that mean that Valdor and Russ are next? Not necessarily, the time between pariah and penitent was what? 8 years? In that time span, the lion and a few others could return. And why doesn't it have any bearing on the post-cicateix timeline? Maybe it's still veiled in secrecy.

The 'Bros before... Legion Crusade'?

I've never witnessed someone trying to psy-op himself. Brilliant work.

If all Valdor needs to heal/resurrect the Emperor is his true name, then why didn't the Emperor just tell him it instead of sending him off on an Errand to find it? Or just tell Guilliman his true name when communicating with him? Or the Daughters of the Emperor when he communicated with them during the Age of Strife? Or basically anyone at any point that he has communicated with since he was placed on the Golden Throne? That's why this theory makes no sense at all.

Roboute needs to make his own quasi primarch son to share the burden and support him against the Lion as conflict between the Lion and Roboute is inevitable.

I’m betting this is just one big Blood Game, Valdor is looking for the Emperor’s name because it’s a weakness. He doesn’t want to to resurrect Big E, he wants to destroy it so no one will ever have power over the Emperor. In my opinion anyway.

Of all the lore, this is something I do not really know how I think about it one way or the other.

I like to think Alpharius will be the next primarch. He steps out of the shadows as a Loyalist primarch and his book will combine Chaos and Loyalist marines for the first time ever. Am I wrong? Prob but I like to hold out some level of hope.

king in yellow is probably Dorn. maybe even a cloned Dorn.

Plot Twist... Big E true name is Sigmar Heldenhammer

What if Johnson returns first but knows he can't go against the fallen with his brother the wolf king, but has to deal with rowboat first they come to blows and Valdor turns up on the middle of a massive fight saying he needs help to rescue the wolf king....long stretch kinda little idealistic and probably a little fanboy ish but how good would it be to see the two primarchs and valdor tear chaos and the fallen a new one just for the wolf king.

The king in yellow I think is dorn

a King in yellow ? would that not be the prymach dorn ?

Come on we all know that Kitten sent Valdor on a secret mission lolz
