Rakarn Fist

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Rakarn Fist was a House Goliath Alpha of Hive Primus, who founded the Fist stronghold.[1]

Legends state, that Rakarn originally sought shelter within its ruins after he escaped from the Slave Guild and was forced to fight off an army of giant hairless rats. He was victorious and then waged a war on the rats, which cleared out the ruins and led to the founding of the Fist. In memory of his deeds – or perhaps just because it amuses the Fist's Goliaths – every great cycle, a Goliath is chosen to recreate Rakarn's war against the rats. When it begins, the fighter is hurled naked into a fighting pit filled with starving rats and is then cheered on by their clan mates as they punch, kick and bite their way to victory. However the crowd cheers even louder when the rats win.[1]
