| Epigraph |
'And therefore is the glorious planet Sol
In noble eminence enthroned and sphered
Amidst the other; whose medicinable Eye
Corrects the ill-aspects of planets evil,
And posts, like the commandment of a king,
Sans check to good and bad; but when the planets
In evil mixture to disorder wander,
What plagues and what portents! what mutiny!
What raging of the sea! shaking of earth!
Commotion in the winds! frights, changes, horrors,
Divert and crack, rend and deracinate
The unity and marred calm of states
Quite from their fixtures!'
– attributed to the dramaturge Shakespire (fl. M2), cited in The Prophecy of Amon of the Thousand Sons (Chapter III, Verse XIII)  'Horus had called the dark and savage furies latent in the most ruthless, contradictory and ill-starred power of the Immaterium. He had conjured up the fearful idol of an all-devouring Molech of which he was the priest and incarnation. All his powers, hitherto dissipated and scattered, were now concentrated and directed with terrible energy to one terrible aim.'
– from The Age of Resolution: Suppressed Monographs of Choirmaster Nemo Zhi Meng 'The line separating good from evil runs not between species, not between ranks and not between competing faiths. It runs through the heart of each and every mortal soul. This line is not stationary, but shifts and moves with the passage of time. Even souls ensnared by evil maintain a small bridgehead of good.'
– The Keeler Amanuensis (Volume II, Chapter XXXIV, Verse VII) | |
