‘NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.
NOT EVEN THE IMPERIUM OF MANKIND, THE GREATEST EMPIRE THE
GALAXY HAS EVER KNOWN, IS IMMUNE TO THE RAVAGES OF FATE. EVEN
THE RETURN OF THE AVENGING SON MERELY DELAYS THE INEVITABLE.
IT IS HERESY TO GIVE VOICE TO THESE WORDS, BUT THE HOUR IS LATE
AND THE THREAT OF TORMENT AND EXECUTION NO LONGER FILLS ME
WITH TERROR AS ONCE IT DID. AND SO I SPEAK THE TRUTH WITHOUT
HESITATION – NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.
THE STARS BOIL AND THE VOID SCREAMS. THE NAMELESS BEINGS OF
THE IMMATERIUM SPILL FORTH FROM THE CICATRIX MALEDICTUM
IN UNTOLD NUMBERS, GLUTTING THEMSELVES UPON THE FEAR AND
TORMENT OF MORTAL SOULS. HUMANITY FIGHTS ITS LAST, HOPELESS
BATTLE. SOON IT SHALL BE CONSUMED ENTIRELY.
I DO NOT SPEAK THESE WORDS WITH SORROW. THE BIRTH OF NEW
LIFE IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY TREMORS OF AGONY. ALWAYS MUST
THE OLD ORDER PERISH TO GIVE RISE TO THE NEW.
THAT WHICH WE CALL HUMANITY SHALL PASS INTO HISTORY, AS IT
SHOULD, AND SOMETHING FAR GREATER SHALL RISE TO FILL ITS PLACE.
EVEN NOW, I FEEL IT. TRILLIONS OF VOICES JOIN IN COMMUNION,
UNITED EVEN ACROSS THE VAST EXPANSE OF THE IMPERIUM. FAINT AT
FIRST, BUT GROWING STRONGER BY THE HOUR. SOME SHALL CALL THEM
SAVIOURS, OTHERS DAMN THEM AS CORRUPTED WITCHKIN.
THEY ARE NEITHER.
THEY ARE THE HERALDS OF A NEW AGE.’

executed for heresy and sedition

INTRODUCTION
The galaxy is in turmoil. Fully half of the Imperium of Mankind is engulfed in darkness and terror, and
the forces of the Dark Gods rampage across Humanity’s domain. In the Talledus System, a ferocious war
rages between the ranks of the God-Emperor and the servants of the Ruinous Powers.
The immense warp storm known as
the Cicatrix Maledictum has carved
the Imperium in two. Humanity’s
defenders – including the mighty
Space Marines of the Adeptus
Astartes – find themselves assailed
on all fronts, desperately attempting
to fend off the onslaught of the
servants of Chaos and opportunistic
xenos raiders. Even amidst the
heartlands of the Emperor’s realm,
close to Holy Terra itself, anarchy
and terror reign. The traitorous
warlords of the Heretic Astartes
launch their hate-fuelled crusades
with impunity, aiming to tear apart
the Imperium they once served
and spread the insidious worship
of the Dark Gods amongst the
terrified populace.
The Talledus System is one such
ravaged domain, a once-shining
stronghold of the Imperial creed
now transformed into a war zone
contested by the worshippers of
the Emperor of Mankind and those
sworn to the Chaos Pantheon. As
this war of faith grows ever-more
bloody and brutal, the psychic
trauma generated by the Cicatrix
Maledictum gives rise to miracles
and psychic manifestations of
unrivalled scale and power. To
some, these bizarre and terrifying
occurrences are yet further proof
that the galaxy is approaching
its inevitable final hour of doom.
To others, these events are proof
of the God-Emperor’s divine
will, actualised through his
loyal servants.
Whatever the truth of it, this surge
of empyric disruption will unravel
the tapestry of the 41st Millennium
forever, giving rise to a new era of
psychic awakening.

FAITH UNBOUND
The time of the Great Rift found the Imperium reeling, assailed on a million fronts by the surging forces of
Chaos. It was only the return of the Primarch Roboute Guilliman and the fury of the Primaris Space Marines
that held back the tide. At this dark hour, the power of faith would offer Humanity the faintest glimmer of hope.
The Indomitus Crusade swept
forth from Terra with furious
purpose, driving the forces of Chaos
before them and bringing hope
to hundreds of besieged worlds.
None but the Primarch of the
Ultramarines could have overseen
such a decisive counter-attack. To
those whom he commanded, it
seemed that Roboute Guilliman did
not rest for a moment. No sooner
had one victory been achieved than
he began to lay the foundations of
the next. The crusade’s momentum
could not slow, for that might allow
the heretical forces an opportunity
to regroup.
So it was that as the crusade
ventured deeper and deeper into
occupied territory, pushing into
regions ravaged by daemonic hordes
and migrating xenos fleets, those
territories in their wake were left
to manage as best they could. The
threats they faced were many. In the
aftermath of the Great Rift the entire
galaxy was stricken by nightmarish
phenomena, temporal disruption
and terrible warp storms. It was the
Imperium Nihilus – those regions
that lay beyond the line of the Great
Rift – that suffered the worst of
these occurrences, but nowhere in
the Imperium of Mankind was left
unscarred. Even across the gleaming
sanctuary worlds of the Segmentum
Solar, horror struck. Isolated warp
storms tore through unprepared
systems, swallowing battlefleets and
spilling daemonic entities across
the surface of worlds. Such was the
anarchic disruption of reality that
Chaos armadas, Ork raiding fleets
and other deadly xenos forces were
carried vast distances across the
tides of the warp and vomited back
into realspace on the far side of
the galaxy.
Worse still, the predations of the
Great Enemy intensified. Like
slavering wolves, the Heretic
Astartes and their allies struck at
the underbelly of the Imperium,
emerging from the roiling stars
to raid and pillage across the
Segmentum Solar. Many of these
incursions were directionless and
savage, little more than the servants
of Chaos indulging their base
desires for blood and slaughter. Yet
they masked a greater plan, overseen
by those who served the will of the
Dark Gods with a far more insidious
agenda. The Word Bearers sought
to spread their heretic faith into the
very heart of Humanity’s domain.
The sons of Lorgar had foreseen a
struggle not only for the territory
of the Imperium, but its very spirit.
The souls of mortals were the
currency over which this war of
faith would be fought.
Allying with fellow Traitor Legions,
such as the piratical reavers of the
Night Lords and the relentless Iron
Warriors, the Word Bearers sought
to spread fear and hopelessness
far and wide. Through dark ritual,
system-wide sacrifice and terror
tactics, they intensified the power
of Chaos, hoping to break the will
of the Imperium’s mortal populace.
Those who accepted the primacy of
the Dark Gods were spared – their
collective damnation empowering
the spread of corruption.
