047.M32-
The Beast Wars are finally over.
-
As the greenskin waaagh's position receded, the warp returned to a state of "calmness".
-
Imperial Regent Roboute Guilliman declares the Imperium to have entered a period of reforging, and the Imperium of Mankind begins to slowly heal the wounds suffered during the Beast Wars.
-
During this period, people discovered traces of the Dark Legion on some distant worlds that had lost contact with the Empire due to the Beast War.
———Recasting Period————
053.M32-
Mortals grow old easily: Talasha Udon, the adopted mother of Imperial Regent Roboute Guilliman, passed away. After a long time, this mortal lady finally refused all kinds of life-sustaining equipment provided by the Mechanicus and died suddenly in Macragge's palace.
Robert Guilliman, who was busy with restoration work in various places after the end of the Beast War, did not see his adoptive mother Euden for the last time.
When word of Lady Euden's arrival at the Imperial Palace on Terra, Roboute Guilliman himself was arguing with the Astropaths and the Navigator clan.
Guilliman immediately stopped working. After the Primarch spent five minutes alone, he returned to work again.
097.M32-
The Fire Dragon Never Dies: The Salamanders release the final video footage of their Primarch before his disappearance to all their successors, announcing that the Sons of the Salamanders will never give up the search for their Primarch.
136.M32-
Fragments: A suspected fragment of Magnus was discovered in the southern part of the Ultima Segmentum. The Inquisition sent out the Grey Knights to investigate and eventually obtained a fragment of Magnus' soul.
168.M32-
Roboute Guilliman visits Belisarius Cawl.
201.M32-
Roboute Guilliman returns to Macragge, and resides there for three years.
213.M32-
Blood: In the Ultramarine, Angron, who was clearing out the remnants of the greenskins, encountered Chaos. Angron himself fought with a Primarch who called himself "Alpha". The Primarch expelled Alpha at the cost of being injured.
290.M32-
Angron himself returns to Terra.
301.M32-
Couriers: Citing the reduction in war, Imperial Regent Guilliman reduces the power of the Astronomican.
After this, for a long time, the Star Whisper Hall was marginalized in the High Lords Council.
In pursuit of its own political rights, the Hall of Stars began to rely on the Navigators and the Astronomican in the High Lords' Council.
It should be noted that the main power of the Star Language Office is on Pluto, responsible for the vast information transmission of the human empire;
Navigators are organized into families, responsible for the navigation of ships in the warp. Each legion has a family of navigators gifted by the Lord of Mankind, who are loyal only to the legion and its Primarch and are separate from the Terran navigators.
The Astronomican Hall is responsible for the daily burning of the Astronomican.
Since these three forces need a large number of psychic talents, they usually have close exchanges in government affairs.
In recent years, the state religion's demand for psychics has also led the state religion to gradually join this small group.
328.M32-
Desperate attempts: After Dorne fell into a deep sleep, the Sons of Dorne have been looking for a way to wake up the Primarch himself. After hearing some information, the Sons of Dorne, led by the Imperial Fists, found the elusive Primarch Mortarion and asked him to heal their father.
Mortarion, who had not yet mastered the power of Life, rejected their request.
411.M32-
Confession! : A group of unknown Space Marines storm Terra and attempt to kill Inquisition Chief Vincent III, but their plan is thwarted by the Assassin's Court Sevatar, and all the Space Marines who came to assassinate them commit suicide before being captured.
-
According to the comparison with the gene seeds preserved by the Mechanicum of Mars, the genome of the Space Marine who came for assassination came from [Lion Johnson].
-
Robert Guilliman, together with the Assassin's Order Sevatar, began to reinvestigate the Fall of Caliban.
412.M32-
Guilliman encountered an uninvited guest in his chambers on Terra, Cypher of the First Legion.
Cypher knelt with Lion Jonson's sword on his back and told the Primarch a story, a fragment of history on the eve of the fall of Caliban.
After a long moment of thought and silence, Guilliman agreed to Cypher's request.
-
A document with the words "Fallen Angel" and "Primarch Genome" written on it was placed in the Primarch's filing cabinet.
-
The Assassin's Court investigation into the Dark Angels was halted.
-
The Dark Angels, and their successor chapters, began to be intentionally assigned by the Imperial Regent to the outer star regions farther away from the center of the Empire.
-
At the behest of Guilliman himself, the Imperium began to deliberately reduce its use of the Dark Angels' gene-seed.
-
It should be noted that the current commander of the First Legion, the Dark Angels, is Lion Jonson's adoptive father, Luther.
However, due to the serious injuries he suffered in the Fall of Caliban, Luther himself lives in seclusion and does not appear often.
493.M32-
The third army building.
After the Beast War, due to the disappearance of most Primarchs, the proportion of the Ultramarines and Blood Angels among the Space Marines increased, and the number of these two legions (including successor legions) once reached one-third to one-half of the total number of Space Marines.
-
During this army building, a special group of Space Marines from the Storm Star Field also gained the recognition of the Empire - the Sons of Pluto. They were formed by the joint efforts of Gold-306 and the pharmacists of the Death Guard. They finally broke through the technological barriers around 450.M32 and established a team of less than 50 people with the gene seeds left by Pluto at that time.
556.M32-
Friendships of Different Ages: Due to the assassination of the Fallen Angel, Sevatar of the Assassin Court and Vincent III of the Inquisition became friends.
600.M32-
Under the leadership of the Primarchs, the Empire emerged from the shadow of the Beast Wars, and the planets once invaded by the greenskins gradually regained their former glory, and even shone brighter in the galaxy.
-
During this period, due to the need to speed up production and construction, as well as to clean up the soil contaminated with green skins, religious construction was temporarily shelved at the instruction of Archangel Sanguinius.
During this period, Sanguinius completed the compilation of a new version of the state religion, which was the version that included Pluto.
However, due to many issues such as territory and dissemination, this version was not widely spread within the empire. On the contrary, the previous state religion version spread like wildfire within the empire. When the empire neglected religious construction, the original state religion version had already evolved into many different versions in different star fields.
The time has come, Archangel Sanguinius believes, to spread the Faith once again.
After hundreds of years of silence, under the leadership of Pope Sanguinius, the state religion once again entered a glorious period.
615.M32-
My search has failed: The Martian Mechanicus announced that their research on the greenskin teleportation device had failed, and the technology developed by this creature had absolutely no scientific research value.
-
Continue to think: According to the spies of the Martian Mechanicus, in the Forge World at the junction of the Ultramarine and the Stormfield, there are Mechanical Sages who are still trying to study Greenskin technology.
681.M32-
Still alive: The imperial guards who have been guarding the Lord of Mankind report that with the nourishment of the power of faith, the Lord of Mankind's condition has slightly improved.
This was considered the result of the spread of the state religion. On Terra, the three primarchs celebrated and decided to intensify the construction of the state religion.
Countless churches that were abandoned and destroyed during the Beast War were reactivated.
701.M32-
The Warp Will Never Be Slaved! : After the Fall of Pluto, the probability of psychics among humans decreased, but according to the surveys of the Astronomican Office, the Navigators, and the Astronomican Court, the number of psychics among newborns has begun to increase in the past decade or so, and is gradually returning to the number before the Fall of Pluto.
Psychics born during this period have a higher affinity for the psychic powers of the Lord of Humanity.
This was seen as evidence of the Warp healing again, and at the joint behest of the Primarchs, the Imperium stepped up its armaments, while the Inquisition's Ordo Malleus was tasked with important tasks.
During this period, the power of the Inquisition, the Astronomican, the Navigators, and the Astronomican expanded.
Unexpectedly, or perhaps understandably, the Empire received no news about Chaos during this period.
711.M32-
There are reports of Dark Eldars appearing in the Nebulous Sector. In fact, during the Beast Wars, the fringe worlds of the Nebulous Sector were once plundered by the Dark Eldar.
769.M32-
Confess to Me Again! : A Space Marine attempts to kill Inquisition Chief Vincent V by poisoning him, but the plan is thwarted by the Assassin's Court Sevatar, who severely injures him. The Space Marine who came to assassinate him commits suicide before being captured.
-
After a private communication with the Primarch Guilliman, Sevatar named the Space Marines who came to assassinate him "Fallen Angels".
-
Private Investigation: The Assassins' Court reopens their investigation into the Dark Angels.
799.M32-
Standing Out from the Crowd: Among the psykers sent to the Astronomican to keep the Astronomican burning, a fragment of Magnus was found.
The Grey Knights then went to contain the deviants.
819.M32-
Apparition: The Fire Covenant reported that a figure resembling Lorgar had appeared on Colchis, the home planet of the Primarch Lorgar, in the Pacific Sector.
This sign is considered by the state religion to be a manifestation of the Lord of mankind's imminent return to the world.
It should be noted that, due to the Legion's actions during the Heresy, although Lorgar himself was not marked as a traitor, the remaining ten Word Bearers Legion had already been removed from the list.
Today, the Fire Covenant, a group of Salamanders, is stationed on Colchis.
-
As more and more signs proved that the Lord of Mankind was about to revive, Primarch Sanguinius devoted himself more seriously to the construction of the state religion.
Clues: After restarting the Inquisition's mountain of documents, Sevatar discovered that the disappearance of the first Inquisitor Corax might be related to the First Legion.
Due to his promise to his friend Vincent III of the Inquisition many years ago and his "prejudice" against the First Legion, Sevatar continued to investigate the incident in his personal capacity.
913.M32-
Exhausting Work: The work of the entire empire was piled on the three primarchs. During a short rest, Angron realized that the primarchs were not in a good state.
The Lord of Red Sands suggested that Guilliman and Sanguinius rest, but after seeing the hope that the Lord of Mankind might revive, both Primarchs were unwilling to give up their work at this critical juncture.
In contrast to the exhausted Primarchs, the Empire and the State Religion grew rapidly.
927.M32-
Threaten at the Door: Long-absent and almost forgotten, Mortarion pays a personal visit to Terra.
Mortarion sternly warned Sanguinius and strictly prohibited the Archangel from expanding the state religion.
During the phase where both parties presented evidence to each other, neither of them could convince the other.
Sanguinius showed the state in which the Lord of Mankind had gradually recovered over the past hundred years as the state religion developed.
But Mortarion stood by his point of view - the power of the Warp will turn against its master, and no one will be spared.
But Mortarion could not provide any other examples to prove his point except Mortarion himself.
Mortarion and Sanguinius quarreled for three days and three nights. In the end, the quarrel ended with Angron holding Mortarion and Guilliman holding Sanguinius.
Before leaving, Mortarion warned Angron and Guilliman to be on the lookout for the Archangel.
Angron and Guilliman watched the Archangel closely for a long time after this, but Sanguinius showed only a little fatigue from the high pressure of work, which was no different from his previous performance.
999.M32-
Nightmare: The Custodes report that signs of the Lord of Mankind's activities are becoming more frequent.
The Primarchs believed that the Lord of Mankind was only one opportunity away from awakening.
000.M33-
Cheers:
The human empire is once again glorious and the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous.
The efforts of the Primarchs were not in vain. Humanity entered a new era and the territory flourished.
On this occasion, the Lord of Red Sand finally convinced the two Primarchs, and Sanguinius announced that to celebrate and welcome the resurrection of the Lord of Mankind, he would hold a religious procession throughout the Empire.
Angron and Guilliman will travel with Sanguinius. The Imperial Regent hopes to use this opportunity to test the capabilities of Terra's political personnel, while Angron himself may just want to go out and stretch his muscles.
Before leaving, Guilliman visited Belisarius Cawl again.
-
People from all over the empire were cheering and welcoming the demigods. The pain of the Beast War a thousand years ago had long been wiped out, and all that was left were poems and songs praising the demigods and angels.
The Great Rebellion has long been a fleeting shadow in the minds of a few people, and no one remembers the blood that was shed back then.
Under the vigorous promotion of the state religion, humans have a natural liking for these battle angels of the God-Emperor.
001.M33-
Tragedy of the Old Ones: The first stop for the Primarchs was the shattered city of Fenris in the Solar Segmentum.
Fenris had already turned into several large planetary plates floating in the void. Countless planetary fragments were floating in the void, forming a broken galaxy belt.
Among them, on a large planetary plate, there is the Wolf's Fang Fortress, which was built by mixing with the state religion and combining the local mythology of Fenris.
It is said that the Wolf King himself appeared on the fragments of Fenris.
005.M33-
Political Acumen: After the departure of the demigods, undercurrents surged in the High Lords' Council on Terra, with various forces struggling against each other - this was a scenario that had long been anticipated by the Primarch Guilliman, and as the actions of the High Lords were all within a reasonable range, the Assassin's Court did not respond to this.
-
Traitor: Meanwhile, Sevatar is certain that Corax's disappearance is related to the First Order.
The split of the First Legion, Robert Guilliman's order to stop the investigation, and the missing Chief Inquisitor, Sevatar realized that there might be a secret behind this that implicates the Great Heresy.
After realizing this, Sevatar decided to drop the investigation, but then the Assassins' Court once again discovered a spy who had infiltrated the Inquisition.
After torture, the spy was confirmed to be a "Fallen Angel".
The Joint Inquisition, Sevatar decided to thoroughly investigate the matter.
013.M33-
Baal: The Primarchs arrived at Baal, the home planet of the Archangel Sanguinius. This planet with a magnificent sunset has long been adorned with countless towering churches, becoming a religious planet. The white stone sculptures sang the praises of the gods' deeds, and the scarlet wine exuded an intoxicating fragrance.
The Primarchs stayed on this planet for a year, during which time the Archangels received guidance in dreams that they needed to find a breakthrough for the power of faith that they had accumulated, and they needed a grand and magnificent ceremony.
015.M33-
Macragge: The Primarchs had a relatively pleasant time on Macragge.
017.M33-
Colchis: The Primarchs arrived at Colchis, Lorgar's homeworld. Most of the planet had long been abandoned. Amid the dust, the remains of those who once praised the Lord of Mankind or the Four Chaos Gods had long been buried under the sand.
On Colchis, the three Primarchs saw together the figure of Lorgar in the endless yellow sand. The Primarch himself stood in the sand like a phantom, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and shook his head at them.
The wind blew, Luojia disappeared, and the scene just now seemed like an illusion.
It needs to be emphasized that since the end of the Great Heresy, except for the two appearances of Lorgar, up to now, the Lord of Mankind has never actively lowered his power. There was no dream, no living saint who became famous in the world - people speculated that during this period, the Lord of Mankind was still unable to use his power.
The abnormality of Lorgar's phantom made the three Primarchs feel uneasy. Perhaps something was about to happen.
And what happened next [seemed] to echo Luo Jia's hint.
After visiting Colchis, the parade was about to come to an end, but there was still one star field that had not been visited, and that was the Storm Star Field, a star field that had been deliberately ignored by the Primarchs of Terra for thousands of years.
018.M33-
Assassination: Pope Sanguinius was assassinated on a southern hive planet in the Tempest Segmentum.
Sanguinius himself was seriously wounded.
To the outside world, the Empire announced that Robert Guilliman had quickly discovered the identity of the assassin, who was from the Tempest Sector, a legion of assassins jointly trained by the Cult of Pluto and the Mechanicus.
In fact, the real assassin was the Pale Lord himself, who suddenly descended from the white mist.
The era of apostasy has begun.
