==Galaxy Ruins== One of the most important changes in this timeline occurs with the Eldar hero, Elronhir, who perhaps through betrayal or weakness was defeated by [[Sun Wukong|a Mon-keigh warrior.]] With this event, the Eldar were enslaved and decimated by the Mon-keigh, which not ironically ended up [[Fall of the Eldar|preventing the birth of Slaanesh]] Therefore [[Eye of Terror|the eye of terror]] does not exist in this timeline. As time and generations passed, although they would never lose their status as fifth-class citizens, [[Wuxia|the Eldar would gradually be influenced by the Mon-keigh culture]], to the point of forgetting their own.Except perhaps for some [[Craftworld|escaped craftworlds]] from this "Cultural Assimilation". It is important to clarify that in this context, [[Hive World|craftworlds are practically mobile space hive cities.]] [[Alternate History|Regarding humanity, its history would be more or less the same except for the following changes:]] *The Sea Peoples win the war at the [[Bronze Age|end of the Bronze Age]], and the ensuing Dark Age spans 2000 years. *The Sabines managed to penetrate the walls of Rome and rescue the kidnapped women, therefore, [[Roman Empire|the Roman Empire never existed.]] *Eventually the "Sabin Empire" was formed, which took 1700 years to reach its maximum extension (800 years more than the Roman Empire), another detail is that perhaps they took Diogenes of Sinope as their "Father of Western Thought." *Jesus of Nazareth is not crucified, only imprisoned for life in a prison outside Israel. [[Religion|Christianity never existed.Its place would be overtaken by other monotheistic religions such as Zoroastrianism, Mithraism or Atonism.]] *[[Nurgle|The Black Death]] kills 450 million people. *Euskal Herria expanded to include the entire Iberian Peninsula and southern France; this nation would avoid being conquered by [[Middle East|the Arabs from the south.]] *America was never discovered by Europe. *The religions of the Tahuantinsuyu and the Excan Tlatoloyan, [[Religion|would develop from polytheism to henotheism, and thus finally to monotheism.]] Being the Yanantin and the Toltecayotl for each one respectively. *The Tahuantinsuyu and [[Aztec|the Excan Tlatoloyan]] cross the Pacific Ocean and reach Polynesia and the Philippines, eventually conquering and colonizing Oceania and Southeast Asia. *Native American societies in the north are organized into fully-fledged nation states. *The Mayan Calendar is used all over the world, '''Example:''' Day 1 / Month 17 / Year 5 / Katun 11 / Baktun 13 / Solar Era 5; Understand that a month is 20 days, a year is 18 months, a Katun is 20 years, a Baktun is 20 Katuns and a Solar Era is 14 baktuns or 5,125.36 years, We currently live in the sixth solar era. [[Great Crusade|The times of the Great Crusade]] are situated between the end of the tenth and the beginning of the eleventh solar era. While the times of [[Warhammer 40,000|Warhammer 40k]] occur between the end of the twelfth and the beginning of the thirteenth solar era. *[[The God-Emperor of Mankind|In this context, the Emperor is Peruvian]], so we will refer to him as "El Inkarri". *The prosperity of African empires eventually turned the continent's descendant nations into global economic powerhouses. *The first contact between "America" ββand the Western world across the Atlantic occurred when explorers from the Mali Empire reached the coasts of South America. *[[The World Wars|The two World Wars adapt to this scenario.]] *[[The Cold War|Cold War between Tahuantinsuyo and Excan Tlatoloyan,]] However, both powers would end up collapsing for different reasons. *[[Alternate History|Zambia kicks off space program, reaching moon, talks of plans to reach Mars.]] [[Cybernetic Revolt|The Cybernetic Revolution]] and [[Dark Age of Technology|the Dark Age of Technology]], They started due to circumstances other than those involving warp storms. But end with the victory of the [[Men of Iron|Iron Men]] over Humanity, similar to the scenario proposed in [[#The Imperium of Machines|"The Imperium of Machines";]]In the few ashes that remain, [[The God-Emperor of Mankind|El Inkarri]] would build [[The Imperium of Man|the Imperium of Mankind]], the [[Primarch|20 Primarchs would be scattered into the Warp]], eventually reunited, and [[Just As Planned|all would go as planned]], until [[Rangdan Xenocides|the Rangdan Xenocides]]. Or rather... the Xenocide of Humanity. [[Rangda|The war against the Rangda]] would be so brutal that it would result in the deaths of not two... but 18 Primarchs, [[Primarch#Two_Missing_Primarchs:_The_Forgotten_&_The_Purged|The only survivors were the primarchs Rivo of the second and Basilicam Ivliam of the eleventh legions]] (or perhaps [[The Angel|three primarchs]] survived). [[The God-Emperor of Mankind|El Inkarri would be connected to the Golden Throne]], which is located on a planet of unknown location called "Ultima", while the few worlds that once belonged to the Imperium are reduced to a few enclaves scattered throughout the galaxy, mostly cut off from each other. [[Imperium Secundus|The Ultramar sector]] remains one of the main enclaves where humanity resists the scourges of the xeno hyperpowers, but without the guidance of the [[Roboute Guilliman|Primarch of the Thirteenth Legion,]] the Ultramarines and other legions that have grouped in the sector do not have enough organization to sustain a long-term conflict without the help of their xenos allies. During the war against the Rangda, the Inkarri released [[the Void Dragon]], however the latter would turn against the Inkarri, causing a schism between the Mechanicus, forming a direct cult to the Void Dragon, [https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Auretian_Technocracy this cult eventually absorbed the Auretian Technocracy], thus forming the faction of "Church Exalted of Drakhinari". Whose objective would be to recover all the [[C'tan|C'tan fragments]] to rebuild their broken god. The Three Galactic Hyperpowers, [[Sun Wukong |Mon-keigh]], [[Rangda|Rangdan]] and [[Men of Iron|the Men of Iron]], They brought war to the [[Ork|Orks]] an act that eventually allowed them to evolve back into their original form of Krorks, albeit severely reduced or technologically limited due to the constant wars of attrition, against the superiority of the hyperpower, other xeno races might find mercy in their thrall, and humans and Eldar along with other lesser races would be forced into an unimaginably fragile alliance.Eventually [[Necron|the Necrons]] would awaken from their slumber, and [[Tyranid|the Tyranids]] would arrive in the galaxy, each of these events happening around Baktun 8 and Baktun 12 of the twelfth solar era, With them the balance of power becomes somewhat even. There are rumors [[vampire#Warhammer_40,000|that warp vampires]] ([https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Vampires These specific Vampires]) are infiltrating all non-metallic races, or may already be ruling them (Perhaps even better than their own local rulers). From the heart of the galaxy, the sound of hammers and mining tools can be heard, Brotherhoods of warriors known as [[Leagues of Votann|the "Votann"]] emerge to confront the hyperpowers. The conflict between the Machine Empire and [[Yu'Vath|The Vast of Yu'Vath]], in the far north of the [[Segmentum Obscurus|segmentum obscurus]], is at a stalemate. [https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Cacodominus The Cacodominus], a xenos horror of unknown origin capable of blocking the light of El Inkarri, quickly rises as a threat to the galaxy, psychically enslaving all worlds in its path. Other polymorphic xenos abominations known as [[Lacrymole|Lacrymole]] and [[Simulacra]] erode the fragile unity of the Alliance races for the sake of their own survival. Following the scorn and liberation of their Tyranid masters, [[Zoat|the Zoats mercenary fleets]] roam the galaxy plundering resources from every human and xenos world they encounter, alongside their [https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Csith Csith servants]. [[Maerorus|The Principality of Maerorus]], expands rapidly with the progeny of the Legienstrasse. [[Tau|The Tau would still emerge]], although sooner rather than later they would realize the truth of the galactic scenario, and although their relations with the fragile alliance of minor races are "good", they still consider themselves a separate faction with their own union of auxiliary races. [[Farsight Enclaves|Enclaves of Farsight]] would eventually emerge with the support of [[Poctroon|the Poctroon]] (who in this timeline survived the disease transmitted to them by the Tau) and other minor races against [[Tau#Castes|the Ethereals]]. [[Chaos Gods|In the absence of Slaanesh, the three Chaos Gods possess greater power]], however, due to the decline of the mortal races and how the dominant powers are able to use powers outside the warp, the influence of Chaos is slowly diminished, something that could gradually lead to [[Malal|Chaos' extinction]]. So more actively than ever they seek to gain followers within the territories that can still be claimed, so it is not strange to find chaos cults in practically all races. The constant migrations through space-time of [[Hrud|the Hrud]] have caused stars to age more and more rapidly, forming supernovas, black holes, and all kinds of gravitational anomalies everywhere in the galaxy, reducing habitable zones. [[Khrave|The Khrave, with the guidance of their masters the Autochtonar]], circumnavigate the limits of the galaxy, preying on the worlds furthest from the waning light of El Inkarri. Constant visions of an industrialized and mechanized hell are presented to psychics of all races, metal demons and other horrors, [[Vashtorr|some see in this the threat of the rise of a new god of chaos]]. Echoes of the rage of [[Slaanesh|an aborted god]] who refuses to die, whisper in the deepest currents of the sea of ββsouls, like a marine predator lurking in the darkness. These are times when even [[T'au'va|the greatest of goods]] can actually be a cause of corruption disguised as hope. [[Malal|Anarchist movements]] arise every day and everywhere out of desperation. Dark forces lurk among the mortal races, forces that seek absolute devotion through submission and the suppression of individual thought and will, [[Chaos Gods of Law|forces that, despite presenting themselves as a solution, are nothing more than the other extreme of ruinous powers.]] However, even for the hyperpowers there are difficulties; from the outside [[Sun Wukong|the Mon-keigh]] appear united, but internally they are divided in an escalation of conflicts between three factions that threaten to break the dominance of their empire ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_of_the_Three_Kingdoms Imagine a kind of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms... But in space"]). [[Men of Iron|The Iron Men]] face signs that [[Vashtorr|the forces of chaos]] have begun to [[Chaos Android|discover how to corrupt them]], coupled with a growing scarcity of material and energy resources on their [[Forge World|most central factory worlds]]. [[Rangda|The Rangda]] are facing a serious and growing population crisis due to the shortage of males in their species, which is almost entirely composed of females. [[Clone|Millennia of reproduction through cloning are beginning to take their genetic and evolutionary toll.]] As the hyperpowers falter, new hidden galactic powers begin to emerge; such as [[Viskeons|The Viskeons Authority]], [[Dracolith|The Dracolith Concretion]], [[Reek|The Reek Blob]], [[Saharduin|The Saharduin Shoals]], [[Xenos|among others]]. At the end of the Xenocide of Mankind, following the defeat of the Imperium against [[Rangda|the Rangda]] and [[The God-Emperor of Mankind|the Emperor's escape to Ultima]]; the Primarch Rivo of [[Primarch#Two_Missing_Primarchs:_The_Forgotten_&_The_Purged|the Second Legion]], recovered a piece of [[archeotech]] that contained the information for the [[Thunder Warriors|creation of the Thunder Warriors]], the Primarch sought out [[Belisarius Cawl|the only tech-priest insane enough to fulfill a techno-heretic mission]]. The hybridization between [[Space Marines|the Astartes]] and the Thunder Warriors, for the creation of a new type of super soldier, called [[Primaris Space Marines|"Boanerges"]]. Migration to another galaxy can even be considered as a possibility of survival, but it is a risk that can hardly be allowed.
