To Horus and Abaddon, it granted direct power, personally backed by the Chaos Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Warp had a cruel sense of humor. If your plans failed (and they almost always did), it would mock you mercilessly, branding you with epithets like \"Corpse-Emperor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, daemons were not purely twisted and malevolent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first possessed Astartes, Argel Tar, and the demon Ram, who bound to him were practically soulmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the daemonic familiars the Thousand Sons would soon summon weren't always schemes of Tzeentch; some were fiercely loyal, remaining faithful even as their pyramids fell and their Primarch Magnus wept blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Order, the Warp too had light and shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth's light and shadow vision now twisted and intertwined, unleashing a storm that shook the entire world-ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything in the \"forest\" and throughout the cylindrical world felt the impact of that soulquake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every warped Jorgall hatchling in the hatchery, those who had faced him directly, had their minds obliterated, and they died instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their corpses drifted down like dandelion fluff, lifeless and limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that same moment, all Shadows of Order aboard the Jorgall world-ship felt it too, a soul-shockwave emanating from their Primarch himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Thousand Sons, it was like a psychic tempest, unlike anything they'd ever known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apophis was in the middle of linking 99 Thousand Sons' minds into one cohesive battle-group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azhek Ahriman foresaw the enemy attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apophis coordinated and shared real-time intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ormuzd unleashed Warp-lightning to tear through the xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Protective shields blocked arcs of electricity. Flame incinerated metal and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their slaughter was efficient, but at the moment of the soulstorm, all of them froze involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the mindlink, Ormuzd sent an excited psychic pulse:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such overwhelming power! Did one of our brothers awaken?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahriman's eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw a great figure. Within the tide, so vast I couldn't look directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That isn't our brother… it came from the Primarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Apophis couldn't conjure a storm like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apophis calmly admitted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed. That wasn't me. It must be from the Primarch of the Eleventh Legion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only our own gene-father could rival such power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Thousand Sons stood awestruck by the Primarch's psychic might, Nareth withdrew his power, and the light in his eyes faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his vox and contacted Marlena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put down your work for now.
