Whilst it is unknown if Nykona Sharrowkyn was born on the Raven Guard's homeworld of Kiavahr or on the prison-moon Lycaeus, Sharrowkyn grew up within the confines of the prison-moon's cell-blocks. According to his own testimony, as soon as he was able to walk, he was used as a salt boy, one of the countless children sent down the narrow tunnels leading to Lycaeus' tidal pools to harvest the precious salt for the tool-making factories' tempering waters. This was an inherently dangerous task, as many children died in these tunnels, surprised by the unannounced surge of water that filled a cave in solar minutes or killed by collapsing stone. The mortality rates amongst these children were so high that the saying went that the best salt was the one harvested from the bones of the dead. Through

  • Whilst it is unknown if Nykona Sharrowkyn was born on the Raven Guard's homeworld of Kiavahr or on the prison-moon Lycaeus, Sharrowkyn grew up within the confines of the prison-moon's cell-blocks. According to his own testimony, as soon as he was able to walk, he was used as a salt boy, one of the countless children sent down the narrow tunnels leading to Lycaeus' tidal pools to harvest the precious salt for the tool-making factories' tempering waters. This was an inherently dangerous task, as many children died in these tunnels, surprised by the unannounced surge of water that filled a cave in solar minutes or killed by collapsing stone. The mortality rates amongst these children were so high that the saying went that the best salt was the one harvested from the bones of the dead. Through skill and luck, Sharrowkyn survived the salt mines until he grew too big for the narrow tunnels and was transferred to the proper mines. Sharrowkyn was merely thirteen standard years old when he left the deeper parts of the moon for its surface. He nevertheless kept a fond memory of this transfer as it was the first time he had ever seen the sun. While visibly involved in the rebellion led by Corvus Corax to rid Lycaeus of the rule of the Tech-Guilds of Kiavahr and the cruel overseers that had been oppressing Lycaeus' population for centuries, it is unknown which role Sharrowkyn held within the rebels' army. But his extensive knowledge on Corax's way of war seemed to indicate that Sharrowkyn must have been close to the Primarch, or at least was utilised as one of several decoys that confused the prison's guards. However, it is also quite possible that Sharrowkyn was too young to actively participate in the slaves' uprising and that he gained all the knowledge he possessed on that matter from other accounts or the testimonies of first-hand participants. After the successful capture of the Black Tower, the same building that would become the famed Ravenspire, Nykona Sharrowkyn was selected after Kiavahr's inclusion within the Imperium of Mankind to become one of the Emperor's Legiones Astartes. He became a warrior of the XIXth Legion -- the Raven Guard.
