10) you dont know
probebly capable of liking poeple to a limited extent
11) Hey Imbac, if Zahhak got juiced up by the World Serpent (and Avernus/you helped), do you think she could break an Oathstone Binding? Like, quickly, and not a centuries long ritual.

19) contract yes
bnd no
20) uh, a friend of mine who can't use SV or Discord asked me to ask this: "Did the dragon ever take any real losses?"
20) yes and no
losses that set back its plans yes
losses it cant replace no
but that is because he only thing it has that it cant replace is itself
1) Did the Emperor inherit any of this more advanced knowledge, or did he only get the basics?
1) he did
2) What percent of younger races that only started getting psykers after the Fall have something that can be called a psychic tradition, as opposed to getting exploded by psychic apocalypse, or culling all their psykers except for maybe a few exceptionally strong-willed ones?
2) around 10%
of which the Imepriums is on the low end of average

Prospero is magnus's thronwworld
1) It got fixed? He's not chilling on Sortiarius anymore?

5) Would getting access to Avernus and its lab equipment be useful for Avernus and Ant? Given their specialities it feels like they could whip up some impressive stuff.
5) probebly
6) from that same non-discord, non-SV friend: "Overall would say the Dragon been making a decent amount of progress despite everything fighting it? Like would say it's doing below average, average, or above average?"

8) Did it eat any C'tan who were constants?
8) yes
9) According to the necrons was it going bananas a Ka thing or a constant thing?
9) Ka thing
10) Does Emps have his sword and shield or did those get lost Somewhere(TM)
10) he has them
11) Given the damage to the warp RN and the need for greater coordination are the necrons willing to set up the Pharos, or would it provide more of a buff to the dragon (I assume it does something for Ka.)
11) not worth it
provides to much data for Dragon
2) out of curiosity what where the chance that solari was going to ignore his god and continues fighting the void dragon?
2) just int he double digit percent
3) Is it a fair guess that the easiest way to KO a constant is to be a constant 😛

3) unknown
4) According to the Emperor, were Sanguinius's wings intentional or a later mutation from Warp exposure?

5) yes iven existing resrouces and tendancies
6) Given the Deciever's track record of killing major gods in the warp, is it fair to say it could do so on a daemon world especially if they're distracted?
6) what track record?
but he probebly could do it
4) You mentioned the Deceiver was responsible for several high profile WIH assassinations, including a few in the warp, such as Khaine's opposite number in the eldar pantheon.
3) ah yeah
and that would ahve been major
6) Could Imbac give Deva Pelts more time or anything? Avernus is his home, after all.

7) Valinor was a one off
8) Was Alpharius a transcendent (as far as we can tell)?

10) Is it also fair to say that its easier to do that than to risk his life assassinating a major god.
10) unknown
depends on I trancendent

11) not really
it had more actual xenos protectorates or allies though

13) unknown
14) Does Zahhak have any plans to nuke the Black Imperium's sorcery?

16) Is Ashur-Kai still alive, confirmed dead, or disappeared in the chaos?
16) beleived alive
17) Was Tzeentch around when Be'lakor invented sorcery and ascended?
17) yes
18) We know that Chaos Sorcery has many backdoors and loopholes. Could Chaos Sorcery, the discipline of magic, actually in itself be a giant Sorcery to bind the very gods of Chaos themselves? (We have the best experts of magic in the galaxy, so we can probably make a fair guess)
a) Assuming we don't know, is this something that can/has been done with magical disciplines before? "Entire Magic Discipline is Actually Giant Ritual for purpose X"
18) maybe?

1) Is Free Will its own psychic frequency, or is it too complex, with the godly domain's power consisting of things like Clear-Thought and Independence?

3) if you use ana ction to ask yes
2) Diplo, I'm assuming? Does that also cover Faust and Ruick's?
2) yes
1) Could something like "plots and assets are undetectable until put into action/use" work as Alpharius' transcendent?
1) possible
3) Does Slaanesh still sip Drukhari souls?

The Long Night Part Two: Sparks at Midnight: A Planetary Governor Quest (43k)
2) on my list
3) Can Zahhak abolish Be'lakor's binding-style sorcery (borcery)?
3) maybe
4) What benefits does the Black Library provide?
4) to wha?
2) Anything
2) large source of knwoeldge
its why I am answering any questions on the WiH or aftermath
5) Are moment shackles warptech?
5) yes
6) Can we get Trazyn to give the Ancient One something techy?
6) you can ask
7) Could the Triumvirate establish daemon world-like areas within an otherwise normal planet to connect to the deva world network, acting kinda like webway gates?
7) no
8) What constitutes a strong enough tie to let the Chaos gods get their hook in you? Just having overly similar domains?
8) among several toher things yes
making a deal with one for example
9) Would knowing the Triumvirate's frequencies help with anything, like anti-Chaos frequencies (given how it's theorized that Free Will, for example, might be an anti-Chaos thing)? Or is this pure curiosity?
9) would be useful vs Tjapa
10) Is Zahhak planning to do anything particularly important this turn, or is it just defending devaworlds?
10) defending devaworlds
1) Besides Valinor, do we or the Triumvirate know of any other places with silver skies?
1) a few dozen daemon worlds
a couple of deva worlds
1) Has the Emperor told us what happened to the Black Cells?
1) he did nothing to them
'2) Who'd be better at making a godhost, mechanical or biological, Isha, Vaul, or Vulkan?
2) probebly Vaul
3) Does Free Will include will, or is it only an absence of unfreedom upon will?
3) the latter
1) What domain governs willpower, then?
1) you dont know
2) How old is the black library? In this case I mean the collection, I'm sure the structure/vessel is a lot younger, but as I understand its essentially as much of the library of hoeth as possible?
2) dates back to the begining of the aftermath
3) I take it a combat style which focuses on regain health attack isn't really the kind of thing that works unless you have really good base stats?
3) yep
5) Does an intrigue para trait work for A since she's been doing a lot of sneaky stuff over the past while (Vect, Cegorach stuff, necron kidnappings), or still not really a sufficient specialisation/too much help?
4) not really suffcient specilisation
6) Pologies reasking this one it didn't get answered a while back: trying to figure out high magic trait. From your statement that she has mid high magic I assume that means expert, though it sounds off, which gives +high magic and something like...+ to other psy rolls? I'm not sure I'm trying to represent it as a support tradition and that bit is meant to emphasise that it gives its benefits by making other traditions stronger.
6) +30 to all High Magic and +15 to other Magic
1) Do Slann get a paragon of power at birth or do they lack it due to the training wheels meaning they don't have access to their apex power?
1) they develop it
2) On a scale of 1-10 how impossible should the Slann's innate paragon of control be, or can it just be explained by them being born requires some active effort on their part that is impossible really?
2) 10
3) Does user of Slann omnimancy make sense as a trait? Not important just represent that she's picking up the basics of the Slann traditions?
3) it does
4) What is the general opinion of the Trust on Avernus (The Human Colony) right now?
4) crazy
on our side
utterly terrifying
suprisinly nice?
5) Would it be in-character for one of Tranth's tests for an apprentice be 'figure out that the STC needs an MoS'? Like, not stated directly but if you figure it out you're pushed way up in his consideration for being taught?
5) yes
6) Is the Trust open to talking out a different rebate structure for Battle/Primaris Psyker Tithes?
6) it is
7) How much Learning would Mathilde Weber have in Sparks?
7) have not been following DL for years
but 30ish?
8) Could the Emperor fix the STC with a touch like how he repaired a Knight with a touch to prove to the Martians that he was the Omnissiah?
8) yes
1) He now sufficiently unbuggered to want to fix an AI?
1) no
he could but wont
due to AI being a GIANT TRUAMA BUTTON
1) If Lin had gotten a Transcendent back when he died and survived until now, who would've contributed more to the galaxy, him or Ridcully?
1) hard to say
1) Once you hit Paragon or Transcendent, do you no longer need to train to maintain your skills?
1) you still need to practice
2) it depends on what the lcoal warp is like
1) if the emperor and the triumvirate teamed up vs tjapa what percentage of his power would tjapa need for an even chance of victory
1) 10?
1) Out of curiosity, is Newbrand a threat to Jane? She's in a weird spot.
1) yes
she is an acendent combatant with way better base stats and slightly better equipment
and procs basicly none of Janes traits
1) So same reason an exalted bloodthirster is a threat to Jane, just with lower stats?
1) even moreso, as newbrand does not proc her anti daemon traits
2) So if I understand right, Avernus can probably make Honored-level gods, and they would mostly be used on the Dragon Front as combat power. My question is, given what's on the dragonfront, how would mere Honored-level entities help?
2) some
not a whole lot but some
3) How were Scarbrand and Be'lakor able to keep up with the Ancient One in power longterm while suffering from gimped trait gain (due to deamonhood) that The Ancient One didn't suffer from?
3) the fact that he had gimpbed trait gain by starting at 60 million years old and trancendent
and way better physical stats
4) Are sapient planets like Avernus, The First Worldship or Fenris capable of getting traits and having a 'character sheet'?
4) yes
5) How old was the Ancient One when he gained his first Paragon?
5) in the thousands
1) unknown
2. Do we now know what went down on Moloch?
2) you dont know

6) on average yes
7) Do Singularities affect fateweaving?
7) no
8) What color is Newbrand's hair? Or is Newbrand bald?
8) scaled
9) What Learning-related area is the Emperor best at? Is it psytech, mundane machinery, bioengineering, pure psychic research, or something else?
9) the mixing of bioengineering and psychic enginering
10) What's Magnus like personality-wise? Is he still capable of liking people beyond their utility, or is that part of his soul no longer present?
10) you dont know
probebly capable of liking poeple to a limited extent
11) Hey Imbac, if Zahhak got juiced up by the World Serpent (and Avernus/you helped), do you think she could break an Oathstone Binding? Like, quickly, and not a centuries long ritual.

1) he did

5) probebly
6) from that same non-discord, non-SV friend: "Overall would say the Dragon been making a decent amount of progress despite everything fighting it? Like would say it's doing below average, average, or above average?"

3) Does Free Will include will, or is it only an absence of unfreedom upon will?
3) the latter
1) What domain governs willpower, then?
1) you dont know
2) How old is the black library? In this case I mean the collection, I'm sure the structure/vessel is a lot younger, but as I understand its essentially as much of the library of hoeth as possible?
2) dates back to the begining of the aftermath
3) I take it a combat style which focuses on regain health attack isn't really the kind of thing that works unless you have really good base stats?
3) yep
5) Does an intrigue para trait work for A since she's been doing a lot of sneaky stuff over the past while (Vect, Cegorach stuff, necron kidnappings), or still not really a sufficient specialisation/too much help?
4) not really suffcient specilisation
6) Pologies reasking this one it didn't get answered a while back: trying to figure out high magic trait. From your statement that she has mid high magic I assume that means expert, though it sounds off, which gives +high magic and something like...+ to other psy rolls? I'm not sure I'm trying to represent it as a support tradition and that bit is meant to emphasise that it gives its benefits by making other traditions stronger.
6) +30 to all High Magic and +15 to other Magic
1) Do Slann get a paragon of power at birth or do they lack it due to the training wheels meaning they don't have access to their apex power?
1) they develop it
2) On a scale of 1-10 how impossible should the Slann's innate paragon of control be, or can it just be explained by them being born requires some active effort on their part that is impossible really?
2) 10
3) Does user of Slann omnimancy make sense as a trait? Not important just represent that she's picking up the basics of the Slann traditions?
3) it does
4) What is the general opinion of the Trust on Avernus (The Human Colony) right now?
4) crazy
on our side
utterly terrifying
suprisinly nice?
5) Would it be in-character for one of Tranth's tests for an apprentice be 'figure out that the STC needs an MoS'? Like, not stated directly but if you figure it out you're pushed way up in his consideration for being taught?
5) yes
6) Is the Trust open to talking out a different rebate structure for Battle/Primaris Psyker Tithes?
6) it is
7) How much Learning would Mathilde Weber have in Sparks?
7) have not been following DL for years
but 30ish?
8) Could the Emperor fix the STC with a touch like how he repaired a Knight with a touch to prove to the Martians that he was the Omnissiah?
8) yes
1) He now sufficiently unbuggered to want to fix an AI?
1) no
he could but wont
due to AI being a GIANT TRUAMA BUTTON
1) If Lin had gotten a Transcendent back when he died and survived until now, who would've contributed more to the galaxy, him or Ridcully?
1) hard to say
1) Once you hit Paragon or Transcendent, do you no longer need to train to maintain your skills?
1) you still need to practice
2) A Chaos daemon or...?
2) it depends on what the lcoal warp is like
1) if the emperor and the triumvirate teamed up vs tjapa what percentage of his power would tjapa need for an even chance of victory
1) 10?
1) Out of curiosity, is Newbrand a threat to Jane? She's in a weird spot.
1) yes
she is an acendent combatant with way better base stats and slightly better equipment
and procs basicly none of Janes traits
1) So same reason an exalted bloodthirster is a threat to Jane, just with lower stats?
1) even moreso, as newbrand does not proc her anti daemon traits
2) So if I understand right, Avernus can probably make Honored-level gods, and they would mostly be used on the Dragon Front as combat power. My question is, given what's on the dragonfront, how would mere Honored-level entities help?
2) some
not a whole lot but some
3) How were Scarbrand and Be'lakor able to keep up with the Ancient One in power longterm while suffering from gimped trait gain (due to deamonhood) that The Ancient One didn't suffer from?
3) the fact that he had gimpbed trait gain by starting at 60 million years old and trancendent
and way better physical stats
4) Are sapient planets like Avernus, The First Worldship or Fenris capable of getting traits and having a 'character sheet'?
4) yes
5) How old was the Ancient One when he gained his first Paragon?
5) in the thousands

Looking at the Q and A's really wish that there were more context and qouting in regards to things that are mentioned since a lot of the time I have no idea what exactly is being referrenced due to all the things going on in this quest. Like:
Like I have no idea who they are referring in the the first question here or who in the world is 'Ant' due to all the factions and characters. Seriously, I get wanting to shorten things but in this case feels like people really should just be willing to take an extra second to type out the whole names when referring a person or faction
| 4) What places were they more advanced than us? 3) better understanding of souls |
| 5) Would getting access to Avernus and its lab equipment be useful for Avernus and Ant? Given their specialities it feels like they could whip up some impressive stuff. 5) probebly |

Voted locked.
In this case, the Anatolian, the Emperor. Going forward I will endeavour to write better questions.

In the first case, this is referring to the Terran shamans who made the Emperor. The Warp was less bad back then, so they managed to self-teach. (The Warp was still dangerous and turbulent, but far less malicious, with Chaos being kept under control; I kind of imagine it as the difference between trying to sail across a large stretch of ocean pre-steam engines normally, and trying to do that when Poseidon personally has it out for you)

Mhmm- or learning to swim in slightly choppy water with a current you have to watch for,
Vs the middle of an apocalyptic continent-spanning hurricane, in CARBONATED (different density/boyancy requirements) water-
Makes sense- easier to learn the basics and to protect yourself, less existential risk in experimentation and so on..

Question: How do the Phoenix Avatars interact with their respective aspect warriors? Are they considered subordinate soldiers? Students? Something else? A combination?
Similarly, does Jane have any interactions with the Last Hunters beyond them being her elites?

From where you got this information?
Well she established their organization and taught many of the early generations herself. A fair part of their curriculum is still based on her writings and experiences.
I don't think she does much of the day-to-day with them anymore though.

I love the first to love emps hate in most stories
But there is 2 defining factors here
>he was insane during the GC as far this fic goes (wich he stoll guilty as he took the reckless and neglecting choice of spamming primarchs creation wich disfigured his soul and psyche),meaning most of his actions at the time were not really his
>he did suffer,10k+ years on the golden throne
As far those 2 go,he paid the the prize and did the time for his stupid mistakes (making the primarchs) and his evil actions
Just never let him in charge of anything ever again

To clarify on the reasoning, it's not a "they're shameful don't talk to them" thing, it's a "don't come at people who can't say anything back" thing.

Not sure if this has been brought up but is Vlad a potential candidate for becoming Tzeenth? I know he isn't a sorcerer but his whole deception thing seems like it would definitely qualify him as one. Also just seems really fitting in and out of universe considering all the memes.
Dynamesmouse
Bzzzzzz
*Everyone* is a potential Tzeentch candidate.
Vlad, is however, one of the more terrifying candidates. A backstab from his is as unlikely as it would be excruciating.

It hasn't been threadmarked yet, but an omake dropped recently where Areatha finally got Trazyn to admit the Emperor is with him. He now is simply the Anatolian, and has expressed his intent to fade into history - preferably without his worshippers ever knowing, for they deserve better than him.

… you know what would be an absolute nightmare?
If -Be'lakor-
Was the one facing an assassination attempt/snuffing out by the Parasites in pre-emptive retribution for his planned attempt at reversing the bonds and enslaving them-
If he was able to set off a "fuck you, shitheap galaxy" shot in retaliation, and the whole thing went down in the warp…
I mean, from what you guys have worked out of the info we have, it's almost certainly something else,
But the thought of working out what's actually going to happen,
And finding out there's -literally- nothing we/the sane could do, isn't a, pleasent one

If this were the case, Belakor may well be allowed to hide on Helhiem, which has never yet been breached by the five.

Naught but a simple wanderer
God, just imagine a second Grand Incursion, except replacing Isha with Be'lakor. That'd be top-grade nonsense.
EDIT: Hmn, how would that look...
We probably couldn't put Be'lakor in as secure a place as Itza, because there's always the chance that he's intending to pull some top-grade trickery bullshit. There's a solid chance that he's instead put in a gilded cage type area - pleasant, useful for doing approved things, but there's guards for keeping him in just as much as for keeping the rest of Chaos out, and he's being constantly watched (probably be the Ancient One) for if he's trying shit.
What this could mean is that Itza, instead of being the final layer, is put in place somewhere in the middle. Specifically, in a similar way to how the original GI had a massive ton of paths with only one actually going to Itza, this could have it be that once you reach Itza, there's another ton of potential paths, only one of which connects to where Be'lakor is being held. For Chaos, they'd need to pick the right path to get to Itza, probably get there again after Avernus shuffles everything like it did in the original GI, get through Itza, and then find the path to Be'lakor, while if Be'lakor wanted to escape, he'd need to get through his path, get through Itza, and then find whichever path leads to the exit (where he'd still need to fight through Chaos, which would, in this possibility, want him dead).
This would also mean that peoples' defenses would need to be bidirectional, or at least appear to be in order to be convincing.
