	Malcador the Sigilite was immediately aware of the Voidwatcher's treachery. He quickly declared the Black Augurs ''Traitoris Extremis'' for use of sorcery in an attack on ancient Terra. Three Primarchs, [[Brennus]], [[Rogerius Merrill]], and [[Tiran Osoros]], were ordered to assemble at the Forge World Diamat and then proceed to the Voidwatcher's homeworld Ostium to destroy the Traitor Primarch and his gene-sons. Yet the Sigilite's declarations were not met with universal obedience. Hektor Cincinnatus appealed for calm and invited the Military Council to assemble at Olmer for a Tribunal to determine the extent of the Voidwatcher's wrong-doing. Brennus ignored Hektor's request and travelled directly to Diamat with his best warriors. Rogerius Merrill, ever loyal to Hektor, barely considered Malcador's order and made way to Olmer. For Tiran Osoros, the question was more complex. The Lord of the [[Scale Bearers]] decided to make for Olmer, but he had no intention of taking part in Hektor's Tribunal. Instead, Tiran would demand that the Military Council bow to Malcador's authority and disperse.		Malcador the Sigilite was immediately aware of the Voidwatcher's treachery.

	Among the other Primarchs, these events drew a mixed response. [[Aubrey The Grey]], [[Cromwald Walgrun]], [[~~Inferox "The Burned King"\|~~Inferox]], [[Johannes Vrach]], and [[Uriel Salazar]] all heeded Hektor's call and came to Olmer. [[Shakya Vardhana]] was making the long warp trip to Malluma, where he would soon be fighting for his life against a powerful servant of Chaos, but the Council of Nine attended the Olmer Tribunal in his stead. [[Gaspard Lumey]] and his Fifth Legion were in exile at the edge of the Galaxy, too far to receive news of the events in process. [[Onyx the Indestructible]] was also far from the Imperial centre, but decided to make the long journey to Diamat in case his brother Primarchs needed help with the Voidwatcher. Despite their different characters, [[Arelex Orannis]], [[Golgothos]], and [[Roman Albrecht]] all remained at their posts and carried on their crusading efforts rather than engaging in politicking. Praetorians represented these three Primarchs to both Olmer and Terra. [[Tollund Ötztal]] withdrew to his homeworld Tisenjoch, already mourning the loss of one of his brothers and sent no emissaries. Only [[Alexandri of Rosskar]] saw the dispute between Malcador and Hektor as a sign of imminent conflict. The sire of the [[Silver Cataphracts]] had been charged to defend Terra while the Emperor worked on the Webway project, and took his responsibilities seriously. Alexandri departed from the Solar System and began to put the worlds of the Solar Sector on a full war footing. His captains oversaw the construction and improvement of fortifications. Class after class of conscripts were called up and put into military training. There was a chance, perhaps, that men as proud as the Warmaster and the Emperor's deputy would come to a peaceful conclusion, but Alexandri had never known such things to happen. Besides, he was eager to see how his Silver Cataphracts matched up against the [[Heralds of Hektor]].		Among the other Primarchs, these events drew a mixed response.

	The Primarchs assembled at Olmer sat down to business quickly. Tiran Osoros begged the Council to let him speak first, even ahead of Hektor's opening remarks, and was given time to make his argument. Ever-laconic, Tiran stated simply that Malcador ruled in the name of the Emperor. Disputing Malcador's orders was every bit as insubordinate as disputing those that came directly from the Emperor himself. Hektor exercised his right of reply and explained that the Military Council conducted the Great Crusade in the Emperor's name as well and had standing orders to brush aside all those who stood in the way of mankind's domination of the Galaxy. Of course the Primarchs should obey the Emperor's intentions, but without their master to explain himself what were they to do? Discussing that question was the very reason the Tribunal had convened. Hektor's rhetoric carried the room, but Tiran shook his head sadly and excused himself. The Scale Bearers departed immediately for Diamat, followed shortly afterwards by the [[Iron Rangers]].

	The hesitant designations of the early Heresy often seem strange in retrospect. It's easy to see why the Voidwatcher and Rogerius Merrill were dubbed Traitors, but why didn't the same label get applied to the rest of the Olmer Tribunal? Malcador's use of the term ''Non-Compliant'' - usually used to designate humans who had not yet joined the Imperium - suggests that the Sigilite hoped to reconcile with those of the rebel Primarchs who had yet to commit any crimes. That hope would not survive the year.		The hesitant designations of the early Heresy often seem strange in retrospect.

	The Primarchs still gathered on Olmer were not so quick to act. Hektor and his brothers considered the matter carefully and eventually, with some reluctance, reached their conclusion. Invoking his authority as the Emperor's Warmaster, Hektor accused Malcador and Alexandri of Treason and Usurpation of the Emperor's authority. He called on the soldiers of the Imperium to aid in subduing the forces loyal to the Council of Terra. Aubrey, Cromwald, Inferox, Johannes, and Uriel all pledged their Legions to the cause. Many of the Space Marines from other Legions present at Olmer declared their forces for Hektor, most notably the Council of Nine who all but ruled the [[Eyes of the Emperor]]. Thus resolved, the Olmer Tribunal disbanded and the rebel Legions set a course for the centre of the Imperium. Hektor's plan was to move quickly, gathering supplies and reinforcements from the many worlds personally loyal to him in the Segmentum Solar, and strike at Terra before Malcador and Alexandri could prepare a defence. Were it not for three factors, this bold plan might have succeeded.		The Primarchs still gathered on Olmer were not so quick to act.

	In orbit far above the adamantium walls of the Basilikon Atalantos, the Primarch of the War Scribes was battling to restore the systems of the ''Sol Invictus'' when he was notified of the attack on Narhadul. Orannis was immediately aware that he lacked the transports to send substantial reinforcements, but he could not just sit idle. Although a great army of War Scribes was based on Atalantos itself, only a few thousand Marines were present on each of the other Atalantos Worlds. If the [[Sons of Fire]] and [[Eternal Zealots]] were free to attack where they willed, half of the War Scribes' strength could be destroyed in detail. Resolving for swift and decisive action, Orannis and his bodyguard took to the "Silent Scribe", an advanced ''Echo''-class Strike Cruiser, and set a course for Narhadul. Silent Scribe's stealthy profile allowed her to evade the Traitor Fleets until the final approach to Narhadul, where she was detected by a pair of Eternal Zealot cruisers. It is a testament to the voidmanship of the War Scribes that Silent Scribe managed to get close enough to teleport Orannis and his men onto Narhadul before fleeing to the outer system.

	~~Among the hundreds of thousands of worlds brought into the Imperium by the Great Crusade~~, ~~few took up the Imperial Truth with less reluctance than Sepulchra. This bleak world was~~ a ~~pit of superstition and its backwardness clung~~ to ~~the bones~~ of ~~its sons~~. ~~Golgothos~~ was ~~no exception. The Entombed's religious views were a cause~~ of ~~no small concern to~~ the Emperor. ~~However, during~~ the ~~Great Crusade~~ the ~~Legion's cant hardly spread beyond their ranks. Only~~ the ~~traitor Obitus sought to spread his bizarre view~~ of ~~mankind's master as a "God~~-~~Emperor", and his writings were largely ignored until~~ after ~~his death~~.		After he was nearly slain at Ullanor, Golgothos spent a long time regressed to his memories of endless violence on Sepulchra. As the Primarch rambled, Cardinal Obitus recorded his words and was greatly struck by the description of the Emperor as a God. Obitus spread this bizarre creed throughout the Chaplains of the Entombed in the years before the Heresy and the remains of the Legion would embrace it whole-heartedly after the Siege of Terra.

	In the Segmentum Obscurus, [[The Entombed]] had concentrated their forces at their bleak homeworld Sepulchra and awaited the reports of their emissaries to the rival councils. Cardinal Obitus returned from the Olmer Tribunal to report that Hektor's partisans had tried to convince him to betray the Legion. The Cardinal claimed to have tactfully refused by saying that he would report back to Golgothos and present the Olmer Primarchs in the best light possible. The emissary to Terra, Cardinal Eulogos, informed his brother officers that Alexandri of Rosskar was gathering all power into his hands for a total war against Hektor. Eulogos wondered whether Alexandri would set aside his powers in the end, but could assure the other Entombed that he had been treated honourably. Primarch Golgothos was more persuaded by the disgraceful attempt to split his gene-sons than the relatively good conduct of Alexandri. If the Rosskan tried to seize the Imperium after Hektor's defeat, that war could be fought in turn. Obitus also reported that he had observed logistical plans drawn up at the Olmer Tribunal indicating that [[Uriel Salazar]]'s [[The Justiciars\|Justiciars]] would be moving to secure a target on the edge of Cygnus X-1. The world was designated as Caria and although it seemed to hold no inherent significance the world was close enough to Sepluchra to be used as a staging base. Golgothos had his doubts about dated and opportune intelligence, but decided to dispatch the Warp Runner "Strix" to investigate.

	True to Obitus's reports, Strix found Justiciars ships plying the Caria system. Most were unarmed transports, no doubt moving Auxilia or supplies, but they were watched over by several of Uriel Salazar's deadly Strike Cruisers. The Warp Runner also picked up signals from the planet Caria to the Justiciars ships in system that seemed to indicate the presence of a significant garrison. On its return to Sepulchra, the reports of the Strix hardened Golgothos's resolve. The Justiciars had taken part in an attack towards Sol in an attempt to depose the Emperor's designated regent and that made them enemies of the Entombed. If they plotted an attack on Sepulchra, they were fools who should be punished for their insolence! If they were at Caria for another reason, then it was the duty of the Emperor's Space Marines to foil the plans of the traitors. Golgothos and his warriors boarded their warships.

	In the Caria system, the Entombed warships brushed aside the Justiciars' cruisers and dispatched boarding parties to secure the transports which could not escape. Orbital picts revealed large supply depots and prepared airfields for shuttles and small craft. Before Golgothos gave the order to commence landing operations, a signal from the surface came through preceded by the personal identification codes of Uriel Salazar. The master of the Thirteenth Legion bade his brother welcome to the Caria System and warmly remarked that if Golgothos had needed more transports he could have simply asked. Uriel politely asked if the Entombed had sufficient supplies and promised to send anything they required up by shuttle, but warned his brother not to send troops to Caria's surface. Golgothos did not reply. He simply ordered his troops to prepare to drop into combat.

The Fires of Narhadul

	Strangely, the War Scribes faced little direct opposition. A few fire-mad squads of Sons of Fire wandered into their path, but were no match for the Primarch and his Terminator-armoured bodyguard. Arelex Orannis opened the lock keyed to his unique genetics and psychic imprint and gazed upon the stockpiled weapons, his eyes drawn to the rows of deadly Phosphex torpedoes. These were world-killers. Could he kill a world that he had poured so much of his soul into? The Primarch looked back to the fires and bodies in the streets. Narhadul was already dying. Better to stop the torture. Orannis commanded a few of his men to help rig the torpedoes to detonate while the remainder stood guard.		Strangely, the War Scribes faced little direct opposition.

	Setting a watch was a sensible precaution. Though the Sons of Fire had lost control of themselves, the Eternal Zealots had detected the teleport and Aubrey directed a company of his warriors to investigate. While Arelex Orannis worked within the magazine, his terminators began to sell their lives in exchange for time to complete the work. ~~Though the~~ War Scribes were veterans, their ranks grew thin under the furious assault of Aubrey's gene-sons. There was no time to set up a delayed detonation. Orannis looked to Mohxes, the only Librarian who had ever come from the ranks of his Legion, and bade him to signal the Silent Scribe. Then he detonated the magazine, infecting Narhadul with a vast, deadly green mist.		Setting a watch was a sensible precaution.

	The pyres set up by the Sons of Fire were nothing compared to the metal-fed Phosphex fires of Narhadul's factories. Far from the centre of the spreading catastrophe, Aubrey the Grey found Inferox. The Burned King was so fixated on destruction that he had ceased to heed personal danger and wallowed in the hungry flames. Aubrey shouted out above the mayhem, telling his brother to make ready for destiny. Then the Primarch of the Eternal Zealots boarded his shuttle and left Narhadul to its doom. Inferox only half-heard Aubrey's words, but the approaching Phosphex demanded his full attention. The destruction of a whole world, gripped by one of the most devastating weapons mankind had ever developed. This was the purpose of Inferox's life. It was not beautiful. It was not pleasurable. It was simply his essence wrought in the world. As the Burned King became one with conflagration, the mighty hand of Khorne touched his Champion. Inferox ascended as the first of the Daemon-Primarchs.		The pyres set up by the Sons of Fire were nothing compared to the metal-fed Phosphex fires of Narhadul's factories.
