Summary
Tell me, dear reader, have you ever had to convince a cat to come with you to the vet? It's not pleasant. There's lots of scratching involved. Some screaming, usually, on the part of both participants. Confined spaces don't work well with beings like that, even when it's for their own good.
Fortunately, Trazyn the Infinite is rather persuasive.

Summary
Before Phaeron, before Stormlord, before the pride of the Sautekh Dynasty, there was just Imotekh: a new nemesor, recently elevated to nobility and tossed unaided into the arts of war and politics. It's bad enough dealing with the court of Gidrim, but this Nihilakh archaeovist has to be the most insufferable, unredeemable prettyboy noble he's ever met.

Summary
Dueling is an act of intense communication. Every sense is trained upon your opponent; every muscle twitch is an invitation, a threat, an insult. Watch, respond, parry, dodge, fade, advance, go for the heart.
Yenekh knows himself better than anyone. Unfortunately, this knowledge is going to do him jack if he doesn't figure out how to act upon it.

Summary
Beneath the surface of Serenade, Trazyn watched Orikan achieve apotheosis, only to then perish as a god.
Curiously, something Divine soon starts raising a ruckus under his gallery. Surely it's not related.

Summary
"So, then," said Mentep, spreading his arms in incredulity. "You think that such a miracle was something I created for the banished prince of a dying dynasty, to help him grab his father's throne before it crumbled to dust?" Mentep let out a harsh peal of synthesised proxy laughter. "Please, Oltyx. Yours was an improved design, I'll grant you. But it was merely an iteration of something I designed and installed within myself, to burn away my own past." -The Twice-Dead King: Reign, Nate Crowley
In cases of extreme physical damage such as severe burns or large segments of crushed flesh, it is sometime medically necessary to remove dead or dying tissue to prevent sepsis of the destroyed cells killing the rest of the body despite the patient's survival of the initial event. The process is often traumatic in its own right, but against the prospect of near-certain death, it is the only acceptable choice, and one must bear it regardless of the pain if they wish to live.

Summary
To: The Ordo Xenos of the Imperium of Man
From: Trazyn the Infinite, Overlord of Solemnace, Chief Archaeovist of the Prismatic GalleriesIt has come to my attention that there are a number of misconceptions among your organization regarding quite a few historical and cultural aspects of the Infinite Empire. While I would be a poor strategist to correct my enemy's every error, there are certain points which I, as a historian of noteworthy reputation and skill, would be ashamed to allow to continue. Consider this manuscript my gentle correction.
(Myths and cultural headcanons for Necrontyr society with commentary by Trazyn the Infinite, all written as canon-compatible as I can make it.)
