By invitation: Outline of the project

'Some Things Are Best Left Forgotten' 'The War of the False Primarch was a dark and bloody episode of the Imperium's history, now largely lost to myth and purged from all records, that plunged the Segmentum Pacificus into anarchy from 780.M33 to 860.M33. The conflict was finally ended when the High Lords of Terra convened the Pentarchy of Blood and tasked five loyal Chapters to destroy eleven others that had been declared Traitoris Perdita for their actions during the war.'

The Sorrowful Years: Kill the False Primarch

The Sorrowful Years [//Vox Volnoscere and a Marines Saturnine Envoy discuss strategy+] [//edward_r/@death_of_a_rubricist et tom_k/@ghostys_neon_rust+] “A veil shall fall. Brother will fight brother; and when it is withdrawn, a son will find his father.” [+Gammer Wychwood, Seer and Prophetess+] *** Skirmishes of the Sorrowful Years The Sorrowful Years was a lacuna in major battles that lasted for three years in the middle of the eight-decade War of the False Primarch . Engendered by the Diet of Fools , the Chapters of the Pentarchy of Blood turned inwards on a mass recruitment drive. In turn, the Partisan Chapters fell to recovery, rearming and repairing their strongholds as the False Primarch prepared his grand assault. With the Pentarchy Chapters turned inwards, primary defence of the region fell to the Extinction Armada and the forces of individual planets. Garrison forces of the Pentarchy continued to resist the gradual advance of the Partisans, none of the Chapters launched any

Index Astartes: The Partisan Chapters

The Partisan Chapters: Traitoris Perdita That words had passed was clear. Intentions and ideas flowed and locked together in an apparently logical fabric. And yet... In the wake of his words, while the threads woven by the Eleven came to intertwine and bind each together with the others, so did it gradually become clear that the weaving taking place had no backing – no warp to the Partisan's weft. Is it, then, any wonder that such a fabric proved wanting; that those that sought to know found their ambitions unravelling? The shame is mine; in that I had – for the briefest moment – the power to dispel the dream; to turn these former heroes; these flawed demigods; these Lords and Chapter Masters from their path. Ah, I did not. And though the deaths of worlds sits upon me for my weakness; I ask you, with no expectation nor deceit in my heart: could you truthfully say that you did not also wish to know ?

Index Apocrypha: Spacewolves [//pete_w/@upplander+] "Of all the reports recompiled before the fateful Second Expiation that sealed the history of the War of the Returned Primarch once and for all, few were stranger than those relating to the death of Lucan and its inhabitants. Secured with a ritual seven-times-seventy wax seals, the vault is noted both for the revelatory nature of the data contained therein – and the utter lack of primary sources or verification. "Maddeningly open to interpretation, the origin of the Chapter that called the Deathworld of Lucan home has been the subject of at least two top level Remits of Censure and Redaction; and yet references repeatedly re-emerge. Such peculiarities do the reports show that numerous Inquisitors, including the influential Maximilian of Trent, have dismissed the entire collection as an elaborate hoax; a fatuous test of feasibility for credulous Inquisitorial staff. Others have named it a form of black propaganda – though ai

The Diet of Fools and the Annulus Umbra

Affairs of State 'Be it known. Õ, be it known. Of this figure most False, we proclaim him Enemy.' [//Judgement of the High Lords, Diet of Fools+] [//Strike leader Te Kohu and Strike Commander Moro Oihi with command squad, 3rd company Carcharadons Astra, M33+] [dennis_k/@the_iron_within+] As the war across the Delphurnean League began to turn decisively in the Partisans ' favour – albeit with notable and high profile losses for the Primarch – two things occurred that allowed the Pentarchy to make an ordered (if bloody) retreat from the region. The first, and most direct, was the deployment of the vast forces of the Extinction Armada around the Delphurnean Front. More than ten thousand Imperial Guard Regiments, along with colossal numbers of Skitarii Legions and Ecclesiarchy Frateris Templars made planetfall on both sides of the Mourn Expanse. While they were little match for the Astartes of the Red Fish , Inheritors , Marines Saturnine and Silver Stars that still occupied

Index Astartes: Wormwood Sons [//nick_t/@k0rdhal+] ‘The Sons were like a moth trying to wield a flame. Doomed to be burned to ash.’ [//Master Enoch, Ordo Astartes+] Précis Some came to follow the 'Primarch' of their own volition; others were driven to him by the actions of the High Lords. For the Wormwood Sons, however, Volnoscere represented little more than a lever; an opportunity to bring into action a future towards which they had long worked: the reinvigoration of a philosophy that even they little understood – the Imperial Truth. Consumed by their own cryptic practices, they were the most diffident and half-hearted of the Pentarchy, serving with obvious reluctance alongside, and disregard for, most of their fellow Partisans. Many of their allies they regarded as credulous and unsophisticated in their open worship of the supposed returned Primarch. Bitter and brutal, but nevertheless motivated by hope, the members of the Wormwood Sons were more concerned with severing the

Each brother who passed the rites of initiation would plant a flower or a bud. It served to remind us both of our origins, and our purpose. It was an indulgence granted us; a form of permanence denied us elsewhere. "Your surprise, that the Adeptus Astartes, the Angels of Death, would plant and nurture, is understandable, but misplaced. "That we are killers is a fact; neither pleasant nor surprising. For us to seed a garden; to see it grow and develop under our care; to witness in life and bloom the works of our forebears... that was an act of humility, a link that told us we were still human: proof that we were more than killers. The garden symbolised an existence that we could never live, but one that – perhaps – the rest of humanity could. "When Frith was reaped a second time by the Pentarch

[//Inquisitor Cho Sakoa, Ordo Lacunae+] The Siege of Ul-Hiyar – and more pertinently, the events of Operation Starfall – saw the figure of the Primarch attacked. No matter that this was against the backdrop of planetary invasion; the bare facts were that the Pentarchy of Blood had attempted – and nearly succeeded – in a direct decapitation strike against the 'Primarch'. The possibility of assassination attempts did not come as a surprise to the Partisans – inde
