The Terminus Decree and the Fate of the Imperium

The Enigmatic Terminus Decree

The Fortress Monastery of the Grey Knights, located on Titan's moon, harbors one of the most secretive and potentially devastating artifacts in the Imperium—the Terminus Decree. This artifact, contained within a simple wooden box sealed with a golden emblem, holds instructions that could either save humanity in its darkest hour or bring about its downfall. Known only to the Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights, this decree remains unopened unless humanity's future appears bleak.

The Great Rift and Its Implications

As we approached the close of the 41st Millennium, a catastrophic event known as the Cicatrix Maledictum, or Great Rift, tore through our galaxy. This series of warp storms divided the Milky Way and caused immediate chaos across many worlds. The return of Roboute Guilliman brought some stability; however, with demons manifesting in greater numbers due to warp disturbances, even Terra faced threats. The Grey Knights found themselves stretched thin as they battled these incursions.

Kaldor Draigo's Dilemma

In these trying times, Kaldor Draigo, current Supreme Grand Master of the Grey Knights, faces a monumental decision. For the first time in history, he contemplates opening the Terminus Decree after consulting with other Grand Masters. Not even high-ranking officials like Inquisitors or Primarchs have a say in this matter—Draigo alone will decide.

Basilio Foe - A Controversial Figure from History

Basilio Foe emerges as an intriguing yet controversial figure during these tumultuous times. An expert in biomechanism and organic engineering with over 5 millennia under his belt, Foe has been both an ally and adversary to some of Terra's most formidable warlords during his lifetime.

Siege of Terra and Horus Heresy

During Terra's siege led by Horus Lupercal against Emperor Mankind—Foe was captured but later proved instrumental in creating potential weapons against transhuman soldiers like Space Marines. His knowledge could have ended Horus Heresy prematurely if not for his complex relationship with both sides.

The Inquisition’s Origins

Interestingly enough, Rogal Dorn inadvertently laid foundations for what would become known as Inquisition during this siege by establishing an order tasked with documenting these critical events—a precursor to modern-day Inquisitors.
