Part 1: Late Age of Strife

700M30

The Unification Wars on Terra draw to a close. The only final great powers left for the Emperor's conquests are Hy Brasil and the Yndonesic Bloc, under the genocidal Ethnarch Cardinal Tang. The Imperial Palace, in the Himalayan Mountains freshly recovers from the Palace Coup, which saw the conspiracy of Grand Provost Marshal Uwoma Kandawire and Director Amar Astarte, alongside a few dozens of surviving Thunder Warriors, foiled by the Custodes and, for the first times, the Adeptus Astartes.

The Warp recovers from the birth of Slaanesh, in the ashes of the Eldar Empire. The massive Warp Storms that defined the Age of Strife are slowly receding. While Warp travel is not yet possible, it is expected to be reachable in mostly safe conditions within the century.

Elsewhere in the galaxy, the Cabal pulls its strings, continuing its eternal struggle against the Chaos. And while Humanity rises again, the first pieces are set in motion.

While this is going on, notice a seemingly un-aging Loraxian Xendal, charm him into asking me out and accept his courtship. (Does this take a year of my efforts? Surely I can do this in my spare time.)

Spoiler: Fluff (click to show/hide)

A dozen rifles focused on Aria from slits in the ramshackle wall by the time she turned the corner. She didn't blame them, one walker could always mean a horde soon enough, and she'd made a lot of noise carving through the locals. It'd put anyone on edge.

"Put down the damn rifles, soldiers! I'm a survivor, so open the damn gate!"

"How do we know you're not infected? That district's been dead for years!"

"It's-" She grimaced, "It's a long story. Look, do you still answer to Girrer? Tell him Aria's at the gate!"

The guards immediately dissolved into whispering, most confused, some curious, and she heard one set of feet run off while the rest of the guns trained back on her. "How would you know the Immortal?"

He used to have been known as 'The Old' at first. Then again, the speaker sounded youthful, no older than a young adult. She supposed, from their perspective, someone who'd been alive since their parents could remember had a bit more mystique than one grumbly old bastard. "We know eachother."

Any response dissolved back into more whispers, leaving her in a comfortable silence as the guns slowly lowered. After a few minutes, she heard a door slamming open, a few moments of shuffling, and a sharp eye appeared through one of the gun slits. "Aria?" Muttered a voice weathered like tough leather. "Fucking hell, thought you'd finally died."

"I did!" She called back. "I finally got the Muckthing, but I'd already taken the swallow, so I died with it. Then I got better."

"You're nearly a decade late to tell us, as usual. Not a single refugee for years, after all. We've even started to trade with some of the other camps."

"Took you long enough." She muttered. Then paused, unsure how to continue. Eventually, with a sigh, she continued. "I found another one like me. The Muckthing, specifically." Girrer's eye widened. "It woke up the same time as me, and we hashed out a deal. They have some idea of what's going on, and they fucking hate it. With their help I think we can start pushing back the plague."

His eye narrowed in thought for a moment. Then it vanished, his feet stomping up to the gate pulling back on an unseen lever that let the gate grind open on rusted gears. Cool, untainted air rushed out, purging the sick, acrid smell of rot for a moment. In front of Aria, he stood, hair white and back hunched, only his eyes behind a thick gas mask betraying the unflinching drive infusing his aged body. "Took me long enough, eh? I should be saying the same thing! Finally ready to take some damn responsibility, I thought I'd never see the day!"

"Can it." As she marched through the doors, barely sparing a glance for the instinctive disgust that passed through the gazes of the guards around her, she allowed herself a smile. "I'm just ready to finally start taking this damn planet back."
