  # Warhammer 40,000
  
  
  It is the 41st millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has
  sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the
  will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his
  inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power
