===Great War Against Chaos===
MEANWHILE, IN THE CHAOS WASTES...

As the Empire was doing pretty much worse than it ever had or ([[The End Times|probably]]) ever would, someone else was doing awesomely, and that someone was the [[Warriors of Chaos|lords of the north]], who were feeling pretty fuckin' strong right now and thought that time was ripe to unleash the rapetrain to the south. They started by marching to Kislev, which sent distress messages to the Elector Counts, but that didn't go down too well: no one could trust anyone enough to choose someone in overall command, high priests of Sigmar and Ulric squabbled over who got to lead, and a lot of the nobility just flat-out refused to send help because they were afraid someone might blindside them when no one was looking. Several decided to fuck it all and converted to Chaos. Shit was looking real grim.

But there was this one nobleman and a priest of Sigmar named Magnus ([[Magnus the Red|not that one]]) who didn't give in, and so he began to wander about and bitchslap the others into line, taking the charge of this whole shitfest when it didn't look like anyone else was going to. In a particularly [[Heresy|controversial]] move, he even gathered up a bunch of [[Wizard|magical misfits]], witches and hedge wizards and other such that had been persecuted throughout Empire's history, and with [[Teclis|a little help]] formed them into a more or less coherent magical army that almost never spontaneously exploded. Then, as word came that the city of Praag had fallen, he marched his ragtag army north to face Chaos.

When he got there Kislev was under siege, so he added his force to the defenders and bitch-slapped the Chaos forces away from there. He followed them and fought them everywhere (mostly woods, though) until they broke and ran right back to their wastes like pussies. Then he marched home and was immediately crowned Emperor because everybody loved him. He ruled for sixty-five years, the best years in the Empire since Sigmar himself, and was forever known as Magnus the Pious - even despite the clearly heretical move of founding the great Orders of Magic instead of putting the whole lot to torch ([[Genevieve Sandrine du Pointe du Lac Dieudonné|and a rumour that he once tried to put his hand up a vampire woman's dress]]).
