Editing The Dark King

'''The Dark King''' is / was a potential Chaos God that was almost incarnated during the latter days of the Siege of Terra.

In much the same way Slaanesh was born from the civilisational death of the ancient Aeldari, the Dark King would have been created from the same symbolic death of Humanity during the Heresy.

Whilst Horus was presumed to be the being who would become the Dark King, the daemon Samus also hypothesized that both the Emperor and even Erebus were potentially in the running for it, which is interesting for the former and baffling for the latter. The treacherous dickblister isn't in the same league as the other two.

Exactly what it would have been a Chaos God of is yet unknown. Slaanesh was born from a whole race's excess, whilst the conditions leading to the prospective incarnation of the Dark King was a galaxy spanning civil war.

Obviously, it didn't end up happening. Or did it?
