Prologue: Part 2
It is a time of legend.
The galaxy is in flames. Long it has been since mankind had left the bosom of their home world of Earth and into the greater-known Galaxy. Humanity had entered various stages of life. Colonizing world after world for mankind. Though not all were such an easy endeavor. For there were of course obstacles that need to be overcome for the prosperity of mankind. Various other variables that sought to halt humanities right to expand through the stars. Thus, Humanity has endured xenos invasion that intended to ended mankind. Internal dissent that embroiled the whole of humanity into a brutal civil war. Fracturing and dividing, thrust into battle against one another, victory seeming uncertain for either side. Treachery and betrayal in every shadow usurping honor and nobility.
Such as it was that it plunged all of humanity into an age of decline, dubbed The Age of Darkness. The screams of the innocent, the pleas of the righteous resound to the cruel laughter of the dark foes lingering with the shadows. The bright ideals of the Age of Wonder have withered and died. To be alive in this time is a terrible fate, where an existence of grinding servitude is the best that can be hoped for, and a quick death is seen as the kindest mercy. All as which humanity continues its inevitable decline, The age of knowledge and enlightenment had ended.
Such events would have erased the whole human race before they could make their dominance admis the stars. If not for the Emperor, who pulled all of humankind together, uniting them all under one banner. Establishing the Xian Dynasty, humanity once again was thrusted back into the trails of existence. Once again overcoming challenges and established themselves repeatedly. Till finally humanity now stood among the top of the galaxy. Even then however the darkness that haunts mankind's past resurfaces once more.
Ten thousand years have passed since then, war resumes and the perfidious attentions of the dark beings of the realm known as the underverse. Remerges from the depths once more. Tearing
reality open across the width of the galaxy and unleashing forces unheard of. War was begun, a conflict that will engulf all mankind in fire. Armies are gathering. All must choose a side or die. As the Emperor wounded upon the last conflict now sits immobile upon the Imperial Thorne. Robbing humanity of its light. Yet still lingers as a psychic bastion against infernal powers. His will alone that binds mankind together, but without His guidance, mankind has strayed far from the path of enlightenment.
Suffering and damnation await all should the Emperor fail and the war be lost. At last, seemingly, after centuries of valiant struggle, mankind's doom is at hand. All mankind stands ready for the greatest conflict of the age. Failure means extinction, and the path to victory leads only to war and restore its glory.
