Hey, what's up people. I know I haven't been around for a while. I've been busy with work and earning money for when I return to college in a couple weeks.

For why I'm reappearing all of a sudden, is because of an idea that spawned from a conversation with Deathwatch Razgriz, who wished to The Divergent Empire become a story. I agreed to look into the matter and as I did the thought of another possibility came to me.

In the Divergent Empire, I had Eldrad gets a vision of the future where he meets Fulgrim and decides to wait until the end of the Heresy before contacting the Emperor of Mankind. What I was thinking, what if the very beginning of the Heresy happens differently? What if the Emperor sides with the Thousands Sons and Magnus in the use of psychic powers and makes concessions for the Thousands Sons despite the resistance.

Magnus, pleased but also worried, starts to divine into the future to try and see what will happen now. As he does, he finds the future of the Horus Heresy but he also senses the he is not alone and finds Eldrad viewing the same thing. Eldrad, who is optimistic about humanity, tells Magnus that will happen if Horus falls at Davin. The two trade information back and forth until Magnus agrees to monitor Horus. At the same time, he sends word to Alpharius, relying all that has occurred so far. Alpharius, having already been approached by the Cabal, relays what he (and Omegon) learned from the Acuity. When Horus is struck down on Davin, Magus intervenes, discovering that it is an entity from the warp attempting to possess his brother. Magnus is able to banish the creature and tell Horus all that he has discovered.

While this is happening, Dorn is meeting with Curze about his brutal tactics. Curze goes to leave when he receives a dire vision of the future and the treachery in which Dorn would take part in. Curze comes out of his vision and attacks Rogal Dorn in a desperate attempt to prevent the future he had seen.

When Horus is snatched from their grasp, the Ruinous Powers had moved to groom another for the role of Arch-Betrayer. Rogal Dorn was chosen for his potential to bring the entire Imperium crashing down. They preyed upon and magnified his feelings of jealousy at being passed over as Warmaster, and then being withdrawn to Terra while his brothers were carving a reputation across the galaxy. They also magnify his doubt at the Emperor's judgment for allowing the Thousand Sons to continue their pursuit of knowledge of the warp. Dorn knows of Curze's visions and rightfully believes this is what prompted his brother to attack him. Dorn then seeks to drown out these shameful doubts in the scourge of the Pain-Glove. As the pressure increased, he spent longer and longer in the device, until eventually it unhinged his mind, and he was claimed by the Pantheon of Chaos. He was not beholden to one, but to the glory of Chaos Undivided.

This is my basic outline people. Outside this premise, I also plan to write this as a story, with dialogue, fighting and everything. The nature of the Heresy shall change and so shall the present state of the 40k.

What really motivates me to do this is that I want to pave something new into Warhammer but still make it a dark, grim time. I want certain Primarchs and Legions to survive while others fall. But most importantly, I want to give people something new that they can enjoy.

So I ask of you all now, what do you think? I'm taking all criticisms and questions. (Naturally I can't answer everything without giving certain surprises away). Tell me what you all think. Be honest, please.
