As the Arks of Omen spread war across the galaxy, a powerful agent of the Inquisition ignites an ancient archeotech beacon, praying that its light might drive back the darkness. Yet that which illuminates can also be seen from afar. Deep in the void, the hate-filled gaze of Angron, Daemon Primarch of the World Eaters, is drown to the glimmering light. Driven by his fury, the Red Angel vows to drown the beacon in blood.
So begins the cataclysmic war for the Malak System. On one side, Angron and his World Eaters, leading a truly colossal invading host of Khorne worshippers fit to dwarf even the malevolent Ark of Omen lumbering in their midst. On the other, the greater part of Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quartus, a titanic assemblage of Imperial might fit to conquer entire sectors of space and dominate swathes of worlds.
Even as battle is joined in earnest and bloodshed erupts across the Malak System, other powers move in the shadows. It is no accident that such an apocalyptic war has been unleashed in this place, for the machinations of Vashtorr the Arkifane are many and complex, and he will not be denied the prize he seeks. . .
