Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence.

Teil 2 von 2. Im Norden der Galaxis hält die Festungswelt Cadia seit Jahrtausenden Wache gegen die Feinde des Imperiums der Menschheit. Nur hier können die Verräterlegionen aus dem Auge des Schreckens entkommen und in das Reich vordringen, dem sie einst den Rücken kehrten. Im Nachhall des 13. Schwarzen Kreuzzugs leckt Cadia seine Wunden. Die Streitkräfte der Verräter ziehen sich an allen Fronten zurück. Der Sieg scheint vollkommen, doch Großkastellan Creed findet keine Ruhe. Irgendetwas sagt ihm, dass dieser letzte Ansturm nur der Auftakt zu etwas weit Größerem war, etwas Endgültigem.

Salvage System is a beacon of hope, and a number of other races continue looking toward it as an inspiration for how to live and govern themselves, and - in some cases - for assistance in defending themselves and throwing off oppressive regimes. But the galaxy is a big place, and many of the races in it aren’t friendly. Would these forces like to take over Salvage System and acquire its resources? Absolutely.

Vor der Zeit, als sich das Wesen offenbarte, das sich als Imperator bezeichnet, vor dem Aufstieg der Aeldari; vor der Zeit, als die Necrontyr ihre Körper durch unsterbliches Metall ersetzten; wurde eine Welt auf ungestüme Weise geboren. Selbst zu der Zeit, als sie noch Körper aus Fleisch besaßen, waren Trazyn der Unendliche und Orikan der Seher das genaue Gegenteil voneinander. Trazyn, ein Sammler historischer Kuriositäten, beherrscht eine Galerie voller gefährlicher Artefakte – und Wesen – aus der galaktischen Geschichte.
