 "In the 31st Millenium, the Emperor crusaded across the stars with his 20 sons, the Primarchs. Genetically-engineered to become more demi-god than man, the Primarchs were supposed to represent the noblest virtues of man, and act as their guardians to usher in a new age of peace and prosperity. Yet deep within all of them were very human flaws, the internment of the Emperor into the Golden Throne after the Triumph at Ullanor tore from them their guiding figure.

In His deathless state, the Emperor could only watch with great sadness as his sons turned up each other. Mighty battlefleets battled across the Imperium as his two greatest sons, Uriel Februa and Cleophus Crios, battled for dominance. The greatest amongst His soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors, turned upon each other as brothers became enemies. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition and the Tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few, became divided themselves. The threat of Chaos was exposed at the Battle of Valinkesh, the alliance between the Loyalists being the only thing to save the Imperium from utter collapse. The Imperium was split in two permanently, its forces made to choose between serving two new masters as the Emperor sat shackled in Terra.

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regimes imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the lament of what could have been." · Timeline of Imperium Sundered ·
