Warmasters Triumvirate
This is a fan AU/re-write of the Warhammer 40,000 Universe, focusing on the events of an alternate Horus Heresy.
After the Primarchs being dispersed throught the galaxy by the chaos gods, the Emperor reunites them, and continues with the Great Crusade. At the Ullanor campaing, the Emperor is fatally wounded by the ork warboss Thundacock, and is interred in the Golden Throne. Before leaving to Ullanor, He instructed Malcador to chose three Primarchs to share the title of Warmaster, just in case something went bad. And as the Emperor was interred, the Warmasters were apointed: Marduk Engur, Primarch of the Leviathan's Host; Je'She of the Watch, Primarch of the Sentinels; and Frederick Aristide, Primarch of the Emperor's Dragoons. The Imperium's administration is taken over by mere mortals, enfuriating some Primarchs. Moreover, the Imperial Truth is being forgotten, and the Emperor is seen as a God, and this pissed off more Pirmarchs. Eventually, they united themselves under a common banner, and started their way to secession from the Imperium of Man.
Small-scale confrontations like skirmishes, political arguments and random planetary secessions started, menacing to drive the Imperium to a Civil War. To prevent the conflict's scalation, Marduk calls for a peace talk in a neutral planet. Both sides, Loyalists and Separatists, get tricked by the Primarch of the Soaring Host, Elsu Eyanosa, who kills Malcador in such a manner that both sides think that the other killed him. The conflict scalated, obviously, and the Brotherwar started.
Eventually, Marduk reveals his true alliengance to the Ruinous Powers, and attacks Holy Terra. His main objective: to kill the Emperor of Mankind...
