Love Can Bloom

Hi guys,
Was reading some threads on 1d4chan about this spin off story called Love Can Bloom. It's a romance between a Farseer, Taldeer, and a Vindicare Assassin ,LIIVI, that traces its routes back to DOW1. Anyone know if that story is cannon and how it relates to DOW3?
Thanks,
Thenkindler.

This should be your first clue as to whether or not it's canon
For a definitive statement though, it isn't. I don't speak for Relic, but I (indirectly) remember that being created, hah. Opinion post.

Man if only they expanded on the story in lore. DOW could do with a bit more soppiness if you ask me. Too bad she's a Wraithknight now

A buddy of mine has been around the Warhammer 40K franchise since the start and he said early on in the franchise "apparently" there was some cannon piece going around that depicted how the Emperor of Mankind went around and screwed every Farseer into a coma. I cannot remember the Emperor's reasoning why that my buddy gave but even when I heard it I called noway but he said it was true and he read it forever ago.

That depends on whether you consider "Drive me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!" canon because it was a reference to an already existing meme. Even then, I find a Commissar saying that as a quasi-battle charge to be more believable than an Inquisition assassin loving a xeno. Although they could.... but I'd expect the Inquisition to be taking very harsh measures to put them down. Who knows, maybe it'll be a one-off multiplayer scenario: hunt the xenolover.

Someone doesn't know about DA RED GOBBO!
EDIT: I agree with Gorb otherwise, 1d4chan is fun but cannot be trusted as a source for fluff. If you want serious stuff, Lexicanum is much better.

Hmm sounds a lot like the Emperor + Macha stuff, which is 100% non-canon.
I think GW generally keep sex and stuff out of the lore, with the exception of stuff that happens in novels and Slaaneshi stuff (cough Fulgrim cough), so stories of the Emperor (wraith)boning Farseers is probably fan fiction/lore, or really tenuous old fluff that is probably no longer considered canon.
Also, with regards to OP, Love Can Bloom is definitely not canon.

Macha has some... interesting features on 4chan... What's funny, after this new avatar of her's appeared, they made an edit on their page about her stating how it is interesting that she's pretty much the same as on the fan artwork. Meaning that the devs are either 4chan followers, members, or some new guy at Relic was searching for some references about her and took that as a pattern, haha.

Yeah, Relic made /tg/ fap-material canon*, which is hilarious.

@Silk I disagree hey. There's a lot of accurate stuff there once you sift through all the gross exaggerations and gnarly humour.

Eldar + Human wouldn't happen in 40k. Or at least, it wouldn't work. Having read Path of the Eldar, there's no way a human could even start to form a life on a craftworld without being some kind of handicapped person, as everything on a Craftworld requires basic psychic abilities.
That and both sides are way too xenophobic.
Hmm...nonetheless, if we're being realistic, someone amongst the Rogue Traders and the Corsairs have probably tried it though. Pirates being pirates and all. But the idea about it happening among characters with fully indoctrinated military backgrounds? Never and no way.
