Editing Necron (section)

===Beginning===
Same as the original lore, the necrontyr were an alien race that [[Grimdark|lived extremely short, painful lives since their sun caused them to be riddled with cancer and other defects, and the tomb complexes they built were much larger than their towns, constantly reminding of their inevitable deaths.]] Whilst it can be assumed they were essentially humanoid, only pieces are known about their biology, such as having two eyes that could shed tears the same way human eyes do and having sexual reproduction. The latter was markedly different though, given the Necrons' disgust at humans having a dual purpose reproductive / urinary system. Indeed, talking about scatalogocal matters was a serious taboo for Necrontyr, to the point that they willingly forgot most of their language's words for excrement upon becoming Necrons.

They focused their short lives on science in a desperate attempt to find a way to increase their lifespans, [[Fail|but they never managed to]]. For context, Trazyn stated that the average Imperial citizen only lived a little longer than the average Necrontyr at the height of the Empire. Furthermore, Oltyx stated that when the cancer emerged, even the best Necrontyr health care could only delay the cancer's onset for forty years at best.

They encountered the [[Old Ones]], who offered to help them but wouldn't or couldn't make the Necrontyr immortal. Thus grew their [[RAGE|collective hate]] towards the near-immortal Old Ones. Additionally, it was said by a human psyker who saw the past of the Necrontyr that they were wracked by unimaginable pain due to their cancers, which more than likely factored heavily into their later decision to become Necrons.

The Necrontyr's empire was massive at one point, but the different Lords in the galaxy-wide dominion started to turn against each other in civil war. To prevent this from happening, the overall ruler of the Necrontyr, the Silent King, started the war against the Old Ones specifically to give them a common enemy to fight against and [[Drow|prevent his people from destroying themselves in their own general]][[Derp| stupidity]], with the Old Ones' refusal to share immortality as an excuse for war rather than inspiring the envy that started the war.

Of course, the Old Ones ended up kicking their butts and in desperation the Silent King allied with the C'tan (who had been attracted to the pure hate and rage the Necrontyr held for the Old Ones, a common enemy of the C'tan) and agreed to the Deceiver's pact to give them shiny new immortal bodies without realizing what he was doing. The devious Star God had in fact tricked the Necrontyr into giving up their mortal bodies and souls so that he and his god friends could gorge themselves on their tasty ass-meats. After consuming THE ENTIRE Necrontyr race the C'tan were pretty much the equivalent of Superman crossed with a level 9001 Super Sayian Goku and so were basically able to hand the Old Ones their collective asses.

However, after the Necrons helped the C'tan kill off the last Old Ones and while the C'tan were recuperating, the Silent King then ordered the Necrons to turn on the C'tan in vengeance. Caught by surprise, the C'tan were defeated and shattered into thousands of shards which the Necrons imprisoned for [[rape|later use]]. At this point the galaxy was basically a smoldering ruin, the Necrons were severely depleted from their endless wars (it is said that literally trillions of the Necrons were destroyed), and the Eldar were reaching the height of their power. The Silent King ordered the Necrons to sleep for millions of years in order to hide from the Eldar and re-awaken at a time when the galaxy had both recovered and forgotten about them. The Silent King's final order to his people was that following the Great Sleep they must reclaim their old empire and return it to its former glory (A role he left his Triarch Praetorians to cover later). Following this, he freed the Necrons from his control and left the galaxy in shame for failing his people.
