The history of Dark Heresy is our history of the Milky Way
Galaxy; this is the history your characters know. Over 20 th
millennium ago men foolishly worshiped science, reason and technology, it was a
dark and unenlightened time but for all of its failings it brought two great
innovations. First the warp drive and the geller field allowed the ships of man
to safely travel into the chaotic warp as a means of interstellar travel.
Second the navigator gene was discovered and the mutant navigators where
created to steer man’s ships unerringly through the chaos of the warp. With the
interterm obtained mankind spread across the stars. At the end Dark Age of
technology large numbers of Psyker’s began to appear many inadvertently
heralding demonic incisions. On the heels of this development the chaotic warp
itself erupted in frenzied storms barring all interstellar travel for thousands
of years. The worlds of man losing contact with each other, with countless planets
becoming lost and failing into anarchy or worst. Even the great planet of Holy
Terra devolved into barbarian civilization of warlords, but at the end of this
age of strife, the mightiest warlord rose above them all.
The Emperor the most powerful Psyker who ever lived and ever
will, The Emperor was regarded as a god of Holy Terra. Backed by mighty
warriors, genetically enhanced and perfectly equipped, the Emperor reunited Holy
Terra under his control. At the end of the 30 th millennium the warp
storms reached a violent roar then suddenly came to an end. With the warp now
safe for travel the Emperor lead forth his armies of space marines across the
galaxy reconquering world after world knitting together the fabric of the
imperium of man. The Emperor left the reclamation in the hands of his Primarchs
lead by Warmaster Horus. The Emperor went back to Holy Terra to construct a
great project in secret witch we now know to be the golden throne.
In the 31 th millennium
Warmaster Horus sesame to chaos and became corrupted, he lead a foul host of
chaos space marines on Holy Terra itself. Upon Horus own ship the Emperor
himself clashed with him in single combat suffering grave wounds before finally
obliterating his favored son, near death the Emperor was returned to Holy Terra
sealed into the golden throne to sustain him where he barely lives to this day.
Now in the grim darkness of the 41 th millennium there is only war,
the mighty space marines and the imperial guard battle desperately on every
front holding the forces of chaos and alien at bay but this is not that kind of
story. No within its borders the imperium of man is beset by demons of the
warp, terrifying alien Xeons that threaten to overrun humanity and wicked
heretics who refuse to acknowledge the light of the God Emperor of mankind.
This is a story of intrigue and deception, a story of daring deeds and dark
heresy, a story of the inquisition; mankind’s last defence against seething
corruption roiling just below the surface of the imperium.
