Unveiling the Mysteries of the Imperium
The Valorous Vow, a Black Templars ship, emerges from the depths of space and enters the Sol system. As Imperial search parties board the vessel, they stumble upon a gruesome discovery: the lifeless body of High Marshal Sigismund. The metal of his Black Sword bears an ominous message, “We are returned.” This haunting phrase sends shockwaves throughout the Imperium, foreshadowing a new era of conflict.
The Long War Begins
Further investigation reveals that the ship’s databanks contain extensive records of the First Battle of Cadia and Astartes helmet recordings of the legendary duel between Sigismund and Ezekyle Abaddon. The Black Legion seizes this opportunity to officially declare the start of the Long War, marking the beginning of a protracted and brutal struggle.
A Dark Chapter in History
Meanwhile, Scribe First Order Wendel Voss chronicles the Cleansing of Laeran, a tragic event in which the Emperor’s Children, led by Fulgrim, eradicate the alien Laer. This dark chapter in history serves as a grim reminder of the Imperium’s unyielding determination to assert its dominance.
The Rise of a New Cult
On Terra, a highly decorated Imperial Guard officer, now known as Fatidicus, establishes the Temple of the Saviour Emperor. His teachings, disseminated through the Imperial Guard and Navy, spread like wildfire across the Imperium. As the cult gains momentum, it remains to be seen how this development will shape the future of humanity.
Shadows of the Past
These events, though seemingly disparate, are intertwined by the complex web of history. The Imperium’s troubled past continues to cast long shadows, influencing the course of human destiny. As the Long War rages on, one thing is certain: the fate of humanity hangs precariously in the balance.
