The Long Night Part One: Embers in the Dusk: A Planetary Governor Quest (43k) Complete Sequel Up
- Thread starter Durin
- Start date
The c'tan The destroyer took the over and is fighting the tau and Secundus. Callimus is not fighting Necrons right now but they really have nothing that can go into the warp. We need the primarchs or powerful enough space marines.

Yes, assuming we're not dealing with Khorne Incarnate (which would be Khorne's perfect success).
Too bright and risky could alert chaos that emps isn't quite dead yet.
Quartius are on the Solar facing edge of Segmentum Ultima, just find worlds like Ryza, Noctern and Catachan on a map you'll get the idea.
Callamus is in Segmentum Tempestus, although exactly where we don't know.

You mean Chaos is not already alerted by a Saint spreading a Faith that promises Emperor's Return?

What does the desperate ramblings of a dying relic trying to extend the hopes of its petty people prove save the stupidity of man.

Alright, so are we sacrificing animals, or should I let this goat go?

Not really aside from the Abomination none of the other care about Lin. Even with our population and the DN's population, it is still a very minor religion. We gave the teaching to the other galactic powers but it is up to them to use them as they feel like. Even with that, it will take a very long time for the religion to spread through the other powers if they use it.
Given that Khorne already got a nat 100 it might be best to let it go free.

That is just for the set-up. The actual fight still hasn't started.

Yes.
We're in a case of merphies rolls, while we canot affect them directly, sacrificial offerings are a must.

Lot of talk about heroes and Heroics lately.
Path of Inspiration
Kronikor Einzbern, Primaris psyker of Vanaheim, had for many years resented his lot in life. As a top-end gamma he was one of the most powerful psykers on his world… and barely above average in the Trust. He was one of the first psykers trained on Vanaheim… leaving him decades junior to the primaris psykers of Midgard and centuries younger than those of Avernus. This wasn't the problem. Being a big fish in a tiny pond was par for the course in the Imperial Trust. What bothered him was that it was such a boring pond.
The Adeptus Astra Telepathica of Avernus was awash with opportunity. Hundreds if not thousands of psykic animals to study. Mountains of psionically active materials to experiment with. Knowledge older than humanity to research. Every decade it seemed the psykers of Avernus came up with some new revolutionary breakthrough.
Meanwhile the Telepathica of Vanaheim was little more than an add-on for the shipyards. The task of warding the vast fleet of warships was a monumental undertaking, requiring centuries even if they weren't building new ships every year. And that was without Avernus coming up with new improvements. Research basically amounted to working out incremental improvements in how efficiently they could apply Runes to hull plates.
At least the psykers of Midgard got to travel to distant world, meet new and interesting people. And kill them.
What really ate at Einzbern was that he knew, absolutely knew! That he has his psykers were just as good as those of Avernus. They just lacked the opportunities, the inspiration that would let them show it.
But perhaps. Just perhaps… he had found it.
The Warp was not some uniform mass. It had regions and zones with distinct properties and associations. Each god obviously had their own domain but so did primitive life. Could there be other, more specific, areas within the warp? Could Archetypes have their own little corner of the immaterium where the echoes of those that matched them coalesced?
The Archetype of 'hero' had far too many potential claimants to ever be held be a living exemplar. Even the revelation that it could be broken down into fragments did not change this. However that very fact surely meant that there were, and had long been, a great many people feeding power into the Hero Archetype. People of legend. People who inspired others to think of them and believe in them. People who's imprint on the warp far outweighed that of any single soul.
If such was true then somewhere in the warp was a place of heroism. A… Throne Of Heroes.
And if such a place existed then a psyker with the will and knowledge could draw upon its power.
Einzbern had no clue what form such power would take. Perhaps they could summon warp entities shaped into facsimiles of legendary heroes. Ciaphas Cain, Ibram Gaunt or Lord Macharius. Perhaps they could create avatars of the fragmented Archetype. The perfect swordsman, the ultimate gunner or the flawless pilot. Perhsps they could bind living warriors to the Archetype, reshaping them into heroes.
Whatever the result Einzbern believed with total conviction that it could be done. And that he and his Telepathica were the ones to do it.
Of course he should probably have told people about his theories before trying to act on them. If he had they maybe he wouldn't have an 'appointment' with an Inquisitor Lord to explain exactly why he had ordered investigations into the composition of the deepest warp. Amongst other things. Like targeted summoning. And demonhost creation. And…
AN: Why yes I am a fan of Fate. Why do you ask?

If a psyker did something like this it would be a very good reason to purge them immediately and the biggest question would be how it took so long to recognize it and purge them.
is this accurate that we can still build Hives in our main regions, if so then why dont we do it?
also those Imperial worlds we are defending are we giving them our STC care package to help them in the future

Several reasons.
The main one is that multiple Hives in a new region reduce casualties due to mutual support from each other's defenses. I remember that there was this one time a Hive-City upgraded into Large had the entirety of another nearby city under it's guns.
It was already rolled out though.
Might as well get the Well help actions, unless we can ask for both Well and Sea at the same time.

Let it go. The results have already been rolled.

Ah, but we do not know what those results are thus we should be able to influence the rolls...not really of course, but it makes me feel better.

Warp doesn't care about the time as much as we do, so there's still hope Dice Gods will hear our plea and intervene.
Sorry goat, but your time is (or was/will be) up.
