	The Universal Destroyer was formed the terrible Great Old Ones fell. All the rage of the battle, the sense of betrayal and the nihilism that accompanies a passing age formed into one speck of all-encompassing hatred. Within a minute of its existence, this speck had absorbed all remaining Warp Horrors which fought on the side of the Great Old Ones. Within an hour, it was tearing reality apart and destroyed Itza. Within a day, only the ascension of the Ork brainboyz Gork and Mork could stop the many-bodies beast from completely dragging the entire galaxy into the Warp.

Within a day, only the ascension of the [[../Orks\|Ork]] brainboyz Gork and Mork could stop the many-bodies beast from completely dragging the entire galaxy into the Warp.

	Aided by many lesser deities, Gork and Mork were the prime opponents of the Universal Destroyer during the millennia before the formation of the Lord of Order. During that time, Warp travel was known as synonym for instant, horrifying death. As soon as the Lord of Order gained sentience, however, the Destroyer was forced to change its modus operandi.

	Since the first sapient species had risen, there had been psykers - those people who could affect the Warp and were affected by it. Some species were even born without any who could not interact with the Warp. The Destroyer ruthlessly consumed any and all who were not protected by their own measures or by other Warp deities. Those that it could not consume were hunted down by minor manifestations. Thus began another age of darkness.

	Finally, millennia later, the Eldar succeeded in creating their god of Passion, Slaanesh. The shock waves weakened the Destroyer and the following assault all but destroyed it. For all times, the core of its being, the speck of sheer hatred, was gone. But, the Destroyer did not truly die, as it had never been a single being. Instead, the Warp Horrors which made up its being were released, to wreak havoc on the galaxy again. While few were destroyed outright, many were sealed, and some escaped justice.

	To this day, shadowy remnants of the Universal Destroyer haunt both Immaterium and Materium. Thankfully, the Adeptus Telepathica, the entire Ork race, and the Bright Eldar are countering its worldly influence while Gork, Mork, the Eldar goddess Isha, and the Lords of Order stand vigilant against its corruption of the Immaterium.
