Trivia

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

Based on the quote Guilliman remembers from Yaitus's work, "Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold," it would appear that "Willem Yaitus" is a corruption of William Yeats, an Irish poet who lived in the 19th and 20th centuries.
