Editing Days of Judgement (Warhammer High) (section)

===Preface===

It is a time of peace.

The Great Crusade is long over, the epic battles and mythic triumphs of a galaxy-spanning effort to bring Mankind together once more are but echoes in the minds of Imperial citizens.

But the Primarchs live on, united as they ever were, the memories of war still fresh in their aeonian minds.

In another time, perhaps, this would not be so; but here the Emperor, the Master of Mankind, knew humility and tolerance. Here He listened to Eldrad Ulthan, Farseer of Craftworld Ulthwé.

In the 36th millennium Terra is whole, the Imperium united; the harbingers of Chaos were cast down from among the ranks of the Word Bearers, and so the Great Heresy never came to pass.

The Eldar Empire is reborn on the eastern fringes of the galaxy, the Pact of Brotherhood between Man and Eldar symbolized by a Golden Orb which links the seats of these two great realms through the Warp.

But the Primarchs are exemplars of war, and a time of peace causes them to chafe, to scrape at the boundaries of life.

The Emperor foresaw this even before He gathered His lost sons, and at Ullanor, when He made great Horus the Warmaster, the Emperor put His plan into motion.

When the Primarchs returned from the Great Crusade, called suddenly, an unexpected gift awaited them.

A family.

For while they toiled at the outer reaches of the galaxy, the Emperor had toiled yet more fervently that they may have a legacy beyond bloodshed.

Centuries have passed since then and still those Daughters, those Lady Primarchs, watch over and protect the masses of humanity, acting as the bridge between the Primarchs and the common man.

But even now, dangers still face the Daughters. The primordial annihilator hungers for them, still seeking to bring down the carefully constructed bulwarks holding the ruinous powers at bay. An invisible web seeks to ensnare the Daughters. And in these times, the right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world...
