The Age of Knowledge and enlightenment has ended. Suffering and damnation await all should the Emperor fail and the war be lost. The screams of the innocent, the please of the righteous resound to the cruel laughter of Dark Gods. But His true enemy is Chaos, a primordial force that seeks to enslave Mankind to its capricious whims. Seated upon the Golden Throne, the Emperor awaits for his wayward son to return. All must choose a side or die.ĭorn musters his armada, Terra itself the object of his wrath. Treachery and betrayal have usurped honour and nobility. War was begun, a conflict that will engulf all Mankind in fire.
At Isstvan V, Dorn dealt a vicious blow and three loyal Legion were all but destroyed. Thrust into battle against one another, victory is uncertain for either side. Magnificent, superhuman beings, they are the crowning achievement of the Emperor's genetic science.
Pre-eminent amongst them, the leaders of their thousands-strong Legions are the Primarchs. Some remain loyal to the Emperor, whilst others have sided with the Arch-Betrayer. Once, these ultimate warriors fought side by side as brothers, protecting the galaxy and bringing Mankind back into the Emperor's light.
His armies, the mighty and redoubtable Space Marines, are locked in a brutal civil war. His most stalwart son, Rogal Dorn, has turned from his father's light and embraced the Ruinous Powers.
The Emperor's glorious vision for Humanity is in ruins.
