Warmasters Triumvirate

This page is part of the Warmasters Triumvirate, a fan re-working of the Warhammer 40,000 Universe. See the Warmasters Triumvirate page for more information on the Alternate Universe.

The Primarchs of Universe 5-A

After the Primarchs were dispersed throughout the galaxy by the Ruinous Powers, the Emperor reunites them, and continues on with His Great Crusade. During the closing years of this two-hundred year galactic conquest, during the height of the Ullanor Crusade, the Emperor would be fatally wounded by the Ork Warboss Urrlak Urruk, and be rushed to Terra to be interred in the Golden Throne. In the wake of His incapacitation His Regent, Malcador the Sigillite, chooses three Primarchs to form the Warmasters Triumvirate: Marduk Engur of the Leviathan Host; Je'She of the Sentinels; and Jon-Frederic Aristide of the Emperor's Dragoons. The Triumvirate would continue the prosecution of the Great Crusade in the Emperor's stead, each responsible for one of the fronts of the Crusade.

The administration of the Imperium would eventually be taken over by mere mortals, infuriating some of the Primarchs, Jon-Frederic Aristide, 'firstborn' son of the Emperor, in particular. He made his distaste for the state of the Imperium more and more known, decreeing that the Imperium should be governed by the most capable individuals, primarily the Astartes. Soon entire regions of the Imperium were engulfed in conflict as small-scale confrontations, skirmishes, political arguments and random planetary secessions take place, threatening to drive the Imperium into an all-out civil war. To prevent the conflict's escalation, Malcador calls for a peace conference on a neutral planet, overseen by the 'neutral' Warmaster, Marduk Engur. Both sides, pro-Mortal, lead by Je'She, and pro-Astartes, lead by Jon-Frederic, are tricked by the Primarch of the Soaring Host, Elsu Eyanosa, who kills Malcador on Marduk's order in such a manner that both sides think that the other is responsible for the Regent's death. The galaxy-wide conflict quickly escalated, and the 'Brotherwar' began.

The Imperium is shattered into two, while the forces of Chaos grow like a cancer that threatens to swallow both. Eventually, Marduk reveals his true allegiance to the Ruinous Powers, and attacks Holy Terra. His main objective: to kill the Emperor of Mankind. Even after the defeat of the traitor forces during the Siege of Terra, the loyalist Imperium of Mankind and the separatist Union Astarte, engage in a never-ending war, and must both face the constant onslaught of the marauding forces Chaos and the Xenos empires.

And when the End Times finally come, will the Imperium and the Union be prepared for when Marduk Engur's warning proves true and the Leviathan returns to devour all?

Hell yeah they will.

Story

The Great Crusade

Everything goes swimmingly until Marduk turns up. Things get hairy around Laer, and then Kincaid gets shitfaced at one of Elsu's parties and sets his wife, his honor guard and his own self on fire. Elsu cops the blame.

The Council of Nikea

Following an impassioned speech from Kincaid and an outpouring of support from the majority of his brothers, the Emperor enacts the Edict of Nikaea, banning the use of Psykers. The Chosen of Hecate are hit especially hard by this and begin hemorrhaging soldiers. The Astral Wardens are fitted with collars to suppress their inborn psychic ability. The Golden Mountains are not very compliant with this and suffer a disastrous sanction at the hands of Isekho's Smoke Stalkers.

The Ullanor Crusade

The Emperor gets chokeslammed at Orkamania and becomes the skele-vegetable we all know and love. It's Deshain's fault and he goes on a bloody crusade out of guilt.

The Brotherwar

Everybody splits into three teams, the Imperium under Je'She (and Kinnevail), the Union under Jon-Fred, and the Traitors, under Marduk. Ashur is forcibly ascended to a Daemon Prince using an archaeotech device and a ritual prepared by Barabush and his traitor sons. Deshain embraces Khorne as a way to escape his guilt. Elsu finds fellowship in Tzeentch. Lambach's ritual to resurrect his First Captain is interrupted by Raj and Linares, and he turns to Nurgle to save his hide. Isekho finally catches his questing beast and discovers it was a long form invitation to join Slaanesh. Mot blows up like half of the Union's forge worlds and escalates the Greater Daemon Hashut to Godhood, himself becoming a Daemon Primarch.

The Battle of New Hope

Diplomacy has failed. Team, unite up!

The Siege of Terra

Marduk crashes his flagship into the Gate of Terra, Raj holds the line until Deshain forces him to self-destruct the Apocalyptican. The day is ultimately won by the Imperials and Marduk dies, with the traitors retreating to the Eye of Terror. Raj is posthumously instated as the first Imperial Saint, marking the overt beginning of Kinnevail's Imperial Faith.
