La Grande Croisade est à son apogée, et les Thousand Sons sont parmi ses guerriers les plus dévoués. Bien que hautement loyale, la légion de Magnus le Rouge est considérée avec méfiance pour ses pratiques arcaniques : craint par l'Imperium qu'il a juré de servir, le primarque est appelé sur la planète Nikaea pour répondre d'accusations de sorcellerie.
