A Man from 2018 in the Grimdark Future. WARHAMMER 40K Story. A Prologue
=+=+=+=
=+=+=
It is the 41st millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on
the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods, and master of
a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing
invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium
for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.
Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets
cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way
lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor’s will. Vast armies give
battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst His soldiers are the Adeptus
Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are
legion: the Astra Militarum and countless planetary defence forces, the ever-vigilant
Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their
multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics,
mutants – and worse.
To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and
most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of
technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the
promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is
no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of
thirsting gods.
