[two-reflections]

From people claiming that Salamanders sire children to others claiming that them having families is all memes and no lore, I've seen a lot of hot takes about Salamander's families over the years. I was pretty sure that they maintained connections with families that might be related to but were not descended from them, but I couldn't remember where I read that. Earlier today, I set about trying to find an actual reference. I cracked open my old copy of Deathwatch First Founding... And there it was. (Also, a lovely bit about them taking in apprentices!)

For a more nuanced discussion of this and other information about the Salamanders' lives on Nocturne, feel free to check out the longer and more thoughtful post I wrote on r/40klore:
