We all know the tale, The Emperor of Mankind creates Twenty Primarchs to conquer the Galaxy. Nine Fall to Chaos's taint and Let the Galaxy Burn. What if this was not the case? What if the Ruinous Powers never got their claws into the Emperors Sons? What if the Imperium Ascended instead of falling into darkness and suffering? This is the story of that possibility

Ten thousand years have passed since Fulgrim's Heresy was defeated, and the threats facing the Imperium grow as the centuries grind onward. Xenos, witches, heretics and worse plague the Emperor's Realm, but they are but secondary concerns. In the Eye of Terror, the Traitor Legions prepare for their final crusade of vengeance. It is the 41st Millennium and there is only war.
