Plot (spoilers: many)
Nikaea, the warning to the Emperor, the breach of the Webway and the Burning from Prospero’s point of view. Magnus here is not a “villain sorcerer” but a tragic violator of the ban. A pair to “Prospero Burns”: two truths of a single operation.
Events in the book
- Council of Nikaea Inconclusive
The Emperor convened a great council on Nikaea to judge whether psychic powers were a boon or a blight.
- Magnus’ Folly: the Webway Breach Atrocity
Seeking to warn the Emperor of Horus’s treachery, Magnus tore through the psychic wards of the Imperial Webway project beneath the Palace with forbidden sorcery — and daemons poured into the tunnels.
- Burning of Prospero Pyrrhic loyalist victory
The Space Wolves, Legio Custodes and the Sisters of Silence fell upon Tizca, the “City of Light”, punishing the Thousand Sons for breaching the Edict of Nikaea.
