Editing Quest:The Long Night:Volume Two:The Rise (section)

=Aftermath=

The Grand Ritual is concluded. All Psykers in the galaxy have effectively gained a level in power. Daemon summoning is a lot easier.

Khorne and Tzeentch have managed to gain a lot of power. Tjapa and Nurgle have lost it instead. Slaanesh is effectively unchanged.

One tenth of the Ynnari are dead. A devastating blow, even considering the return of Isha. Also, Vect is starting a serious attempt to drive them out of the Webway.

The Krork have lost a lot of their numbers. For a while now, they've been forced to slow their expansion, due to being surrounded by a thousand sector strong WAAAGH! Still, they are certain that even with these losses, they'll break out in a few centuries, especially since they are now building Attack Moons.

Due to the weakening of Tjapa, a new problem approaches. For centuries now, his forces in the Sol System have been holding back the now awoken [[Void Dragon]]. It was never in doubt that the C'tan will eventually win, but now, its breakout is imminent.

Ridcully, meanwhile, made a big step. Two, in fact. Before his death, Saint Lin had determined the ways for a mortal to become a god. One of them is embodying a particular Archetype; being one with an Idea. The way includes nine steps, each making the Ascension ritual easier. And Ridcully – not intentionally at all, mind you – is walking the path of the Blind Seer. He is now on the sixth step, two of those gained by his recent Heist. Areatha is moving on that path as well, except she's adopting the archetype of the Magical Girl.

And of course, now you, personally, are facing a few short-term problems.

For centuries now, the Trust's policy was to remain beneath the sight of the bigger players. Now, of course, it's no longer an option.

For one thing, Nurgle is pissed off at Avernus. You can be certain that, once he licks his wounds and prepares, the full might of the Lord of Decay will be unleashed.

For another, Abaddon knows of you now, is aware of how many secrets you may be hiding, and is really pissed off about the annihilation of Cadia.

And finally, the Ancient One is now owed a favour by the Eldar. And his request is simple. That Isha revives the Slann.

The Slann coming back is going to be a huge game-changer for the galaxy. The problem is; the Chaos knows it. As soon as they realize what's happening, you can be certain an incursion of Chaos Undivided will be set loose upon the planet, on a scale unheard of.
