New Kingdom is the personal pet project of Magnymagick and is what the domain of the new Prospero/Sortiarius System is called. Together with the Stygius Occupation acting as an exclave of New Kingdom, the Thousand Sons are preparing to reap the rewards of a sudden explosion of Psykers in the Imperium.
Overview
New Kingdom is perhaps, the most ambitious project for Magnus the Red and by extension, the Thousand Sons. With the Great Rift, came a great surge in psyker awakenings and the fracturing of the Imperium. Since the areas around Prospero haven't had any Black Ships to pick up these accumulating psykers, the population began resorting to good old witch hunts. Magnus saw this and began spreading rumors of a sanctuary to all these persecuted fledgeling psykers, hiding behind the moniker of the Crimson King. His legion spread out with cults and ferries in order to bring these scared children to a place where they could cultivate their talents and be respected as the next step of human evolution...as well as have them act as accessories to some very elaborate rituals.
New Kingdom as such, is advertised as a home for these psykers, where they are safe from the Imperium's deadly persecution. In this promised land, a new path for humanity will be forged, free from Imperial dogma, which will allow humanity to flourish in new ways under Magnus' leadership. Sortiarius, the recently transported Planet of Sorcerers, is greatly aiding in creating the New Kingdom, as its mere presence has begun changing the Realspace within the Prospero System. Astral light has begun coalescing around it and Sortiarius now gives off a psychic call, that is drawing in millions of humans who can hear it. So in a sense, Magnus is using his own version of the Astronomicon to gain new recruits, turning one of the Imperium's most crucial assets against them.
Once they arrive, they then try to gain entrance to Tizca, the City of Light, which serves as the capital of the New Kingdom. If they are successful they prove themselves worthy to be at Magnus' side and can use its libraries to master their abilities like Grimdark Hogwarts. The ruins of Prospero also play a significant part in the New Kingdom, as Magnus and the Thousand Sons have begun building upon its surface. Not to return the world to its former glory, lost in the Horus Heresy, but as an anvil, designed to hammer out the tools of war.
As such, in contrast to the Scourge Stars, the New Kingdom is much better run since Magnus don't have to contend with the other three Chaos Gods duking out in his own turf. Goes to show how bad Mortarion is in normal governing.
