Saturnian victories faded away like yesterday's hopes. The sacrifices at the Eternity Wall spaceport were in vain. Rejected but not defeated, the traitors storm the Palace with renewed vigor. Now the main spaceports are in the hands of Lupercal, and the warmaster is draining the skies, bringing reserves into battle. The onslaught grows stronger, and the power of Chaos grows. In reality, the defenders drown in despair, and their dreams drive them in search of a false paradise. With the fortifications crumbling and the will of the loyalists weakening, Horus orders the Titans of the Legio Mortis to breach the walls of the Palace. The traitors are opposed by the power of the wall of Mercury and the army of Legio Ignatum. Ancient rivals, the God-Machines of the two Legios, clash in battle, and within the fortifications a handful of desperate men try to turn back the tide of the warp's evil influence. Throughout Terra, warriors and wanderers, wandering in wastelands and gardens of horror, go home and towards an unknown future.
