In the ages of Old Terra, spanning millennia since the darkness of the Age of Strife, the Emperor reigns from His once-glorious throne amidst the shattered remnants of a once-vast world. He commands not just the fealty of countless souls through the ancient rites of techno-barbarism, but also the allegiance of myriad clans and city-states that sprawl across the ravaged continents. His dominion extends over a world scarred by the horrors of nuclear cataclysm and the ceaseless wars that followed.

Yet, even in His embattled state, the Emperor maintains His vigilance. His enigmatic powers pierce through the shifting tempests of the Ether, guiding the warp-tinged fleets that navigate the treacherous expanses between terrestrial domains. Armies march in His name across the ruins of forgotten civilizations, defending against the myriad threats that beset His realm. Foremost among His champions are the techno-barbarian lords, augmented with ancient sciences and clad in armor forged from the bones of extinct titans. Their ranks are bolstered by devoted adherents: the warrior tribes of the steppes, the iron-forged legions of the smiths, and the secretive cabals that wield the forbidden sorceries of the Ancients.

To be a leader in these tumultuous times is to command amidst untold tribulations. It is to govern amidst the harsh and blood-soaked customs of a world in constant strife. These are the chronicles of an epoch forged in the fires of an abandoned age. Remember not the allure of lost technologies and arcane sciences, for they are now naught but myth. Forsake the aspirations of progress and enlightenment, for in the grim and savage history of Old Terra, there exists only the ceaseless clash of arms. Amidst the echoing void, there is no respite, only an eternity of conflict and the whispered machinations of the undying spirits.
