Editing Psychic Awakening (section)

===Pariah===
The final chapter of the whole event was given a release date of [https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/06/27/pre-order-today-the-conclusion-of-psychic-awakening/ July 4, 2020] and features Sisters of Battle, Inquisition and Necrons. The models this time are [[Ephrael Stern]], Kyganil, [[Illuminor Szeras]] and Lord Inquisitor [[Kyria Draxus]]. The Inquisition rules from White Dwarf will be featured here along with Draxus' datasheet. Sisters are a featured faction, but despite Kyganil being here, [[Derp|Harlequins are in a White Dwarf]] rather than the Pariah book. As a fun fact, this means [[Derp|Sisters of Battle have more named Harlequins characters than Harlequins do]].

It will also contain some theatre of war rules for playing on hive worlds, tomb worlds, daemon worlds, in the webway, etc. No stratagems, warlord traits, relics, custom faction traits or anything for Sisters or Necrons, however. Gratifying in a way since 9th edition is right around the corner and Sisters and Necrons will be getting the first codices after Space Marines, but frustrating that every other faction gets something and they get nothing. Doubly so for the Sisters considering how Faith and Fire passed them over before because of the codex rewrite.

The general premise is that during the [[Indomitus Crusade]], an imperial battlegroup (which contained, among others, Inquisitor Draxus and Ephrael, who was looking for her elf boytoy) runs into the eerily silent Nephilim subsector. What they do find is a shitton of Blackstone Pylons organized in such a manner that it fucks with psykers, owing up to the name of the "Pariah Nexus". Also not helping matters is that the sub-sector is also being run by the [[Nihilakh Dynasty]].

Meanwhile, Szeras is looking at the human resistance to the network, especially that of the bolter babes, with interest. They would finally clash when Draxus decides to go studying the structures. They manage to surprise Szeras by actually ignoring the Illuminor's shock factor and figured out some key clues to the entire sub-sector's organization so they could break into the tombs and steal some of their intelligence. She then sets a c'tan shard loose, raising all the hells and giving the imperial forces time to escape.

From what little her Xenarite allies could decode of the Necron data, Draxus discovers that there are actually dozens of Pariah Nexuses being constructed across the galaxy. It is currently believed that this is part of the [[Silent King]]'s plan to seal off the Warp from realspace and restore the Necron Empire of old.

Pariah is particularly important from a narrative point of view because it will directly lead into 9th edition's initial narrative. And while these models aren't ''directly'' connected to the Psychic Awakening, Necrons will be receiving a slew of new models, including updated Warriors, Monoliths, Canoptek Scarabs and Destroyers, brand new units such as the Skorpekh Destroyers and Lords, new Tripod-looking mfs that are called Canoptek Reanimators/Doomstalkers, [[Mag'ladroth|a new C'tan Shard]], and most impressively, the debut of the [[Silent King]] on the tabletop!
