QM can explain it better but IIRC Eldrad considers what we're doing for them (giving them soulstones so they don't get nommed by Slaanesh and Psychic Batteries and Runes/Crystals for even safer Psyker use) a very good thing.

What I'm curious about though, is the status of the Cabal in this setting.

We're basically uplifting Humanity at a rate that even in canon, should be impossible. Our existence probably screwed up everyone's (everyone, as in all factions, not just the Cabals) plans and I have the sinking feeling that they'll try to remove us so that they can kill off Humanity before it's ascendance and Chaos before it grows too entrenched in the Materium.

I truly hope Eldrad does the smart, sane thing and wipes the Cabal from existence (ESPECIALLY DAMON FUCKING PRYTANIS!!!) millenia ahead of schedule before they mess everything up.

We might have to do a bit of consulting regarding the Eldar Crystal. Like for one see if we can make it for Craftworld Eldar only as to avoid empowering the Webway and Dark Eldar.

The Craftworld and Webway Eldar shouldn't be that divergent yet. They're all still Eldar. Empowering the Webway Eldar isn't really an issue at the moment, as they aren't a threat. What we really want to do here is develop runic based solutions to protect Eldar from the Thirst and share that, as that will remove the incentive to develop fear/pain eating.

There shouldn't be any Dark Eldar, as their distinctive characteristics haven't been invented yet.

The Quenya Eldar specifically are grateful and our current relations with them and even have many positions in our schools and other forms of power, just to show that things are even between each other.

Sure. It is just that, well, we are not our rase.

Apparently there's about 100 billion planets in the galaxy, according to recent estimates. Let's say that a solitary billion are in a state where terraforming is possible, or even unnecessary, for humans at least. With the current 6.75 trillion population cap for Civilized Worlds, that's a species-wide population cap of 6.75*10^21, or about 700 sextillion, ignoring the possibility of space habitats and ringworlds. More than enough to calm the Warp assuming a reasonable standard of living.

Wait a minute, my earlier calculation didn't take Torus Platforms into account. Assuming each planet averages 4 generalists in terms of population boost, that's 21 billion effective planets, which means a population cap of 1.4175*10^23, or about 70 septillion. Again, more than enough to calm the Warp, though the sheer mass of psychic energy would probably draw interest from... various things.

Nexus of ever fated rising madness hope of all turned black doom to all the belligerents and their gods all hail doom nightmares?

You know, given that there was a vote for sealing away Malal earlier in the quest, I'll bet it's within Chaos's ability to seal Serras and the Bastion away, and have her retconned like Malal in canon. They probably thought the cost of doing such too prohibitive or they're infighting too much to bother with such. Of course, given the number of crystals Serras made, she might come back from nowhere in the most inconvenient moment for Chaos. :V

*Crossovers into Canon 40k*



It is the 41st Millenium. A Bastion Explorator fleet finds themselves stranded in a familiar galaxy, overwritten with grim darkness. They must hunt for clues and artifacts that remained untouched by retcon, and others who survived. Could they fend off the Inquisition, Cabal Agents, and Chaos Cultists alike? Will they succeed in unsealing the Bastion, and blow away the maelstrom that surround its space?
 
i wonder....can we make a human waggghhh field by studying orks and combining it with our population wide gene enhancement as the spreading vector? 70 septillion 'orks' screaming into the warp
 
That's 'reshape the galaxy at whim' levels of psychic energy if properly directed, so you might not actually need to make a Waagh! Field for humans, as the Warp's psychic landscape will have been pretty thoroughly dominated by humanity through sheer weight of numbers.
 
They've harvested biomass from thousands of galaxies, as well as the stars between galaxies, originating from the edge of the observable universe sometime around 10 billion years ago, so they've got a lot.

Interesting. It probably wouldn't be that hard to believe up a god that uses the unused psychic power to make an impenetrable barrier around the milky way. Although that leads to another question. Will popular media cause entire warp realms to spring into existence that contain Daemons based on the characters in them just due to sheer weight of thought?

Like Cartman's Christmas story?
 
We need to create Santa as a warp entity. The ultimate protector. A Santa Claus empowered by over 70 septillion humans believing in his power. Santa Claus fighting off the universe worth of locust to protect humanity with a jolly HO HO HO! Ringing throughout the warp bringing hope and jolliness of christmas spirit through all sapient life.

I mean, I guess. Yeah, Imagination Land would be pretty similar to what I'm thinking only more segregated into different settings. Hell, maybe Kingdom Hearts is set in the future Warp after we colonize the galaxy and kill Malal, causing a few heartless to escape into the Dream Lands and try to eat the cores of psychic energy that sustain each realm.
