“It been considered distasteful, at least among the upper echelons of necrontyr culture, to talk of luck. To speak of bad luck was simply to confess your incompetence but speaking of good little better, as was an admission that elements of your reality were outside your control. Even when star of the home world had ended one of its relatively benign cycles and the mass graves the commoner’s districts were only half full by the solstice. That was not good luck, merely weakness on the sun's part.”
