Season Three Timeline

#### The Warp Anomaly

"The Warp around the Absconrio system, due to the newly formed Cicatrix Maledictum, begins to swell. Creating a rare warp phenomenon scarcely documented in the history of the Empire. I, an imperial scholar under Inquisitorial and Adeptus Mechanicus authority have been given access to the records of these two organizations in order to form a cohesive record of this event and what transpired due to it. My name to be sealed under Imperial records, as well to protect myself from the less scrupulous figures this system contains, not to mention that this is perhaps... one of strangest systems I have yet encountered in my hundreds of years assembling these rough timelines, yet it also one of the most closely documented due to the heavy Adeptus Mechanicus interest in the system. Blessed be these records by the Emperor in their sealing." - Anonymous AdMech Scribe

#### The Imperial Schism

"During the time in which this strange anomaly was forming, it seems a split in the Imperial authority began to form, yet did not outright fall into rebellion, these two both claiming to follow the Imperium's word. The first of which, crusaders sent by Gulliman to return this sector to Imperial control due to it's strategic placement between Sector Nihilus and the rest of the Imperium. These forces being called the "Imperium Indomitus", while the Ecclesiarchal elements fell under "Imperium Divinus". Records are unclear as to how both organizations originally formed due to issues with communication. My theory is that they perhaps, due to said lack of communication formed their own enclaves against the evils that face the Imperium which naturally evolved into such, but such is just the theory of an old scholar..." - Anonymous AdMech Scribe

#### The Tau Invasion of Tenebris

"Headed by a commander Daystar, and another commander known as Nightstar, an invasion of Tenebris against Indomitus as well as Xenos and Chaos remnants took place. Forcing Indomitus to capitulate the territory." - Anonymous AdMech Scribe

#### Firesoul and Raaxium

"Firesoul finds a compound ~~upon the surface of Raxaagh~~ while assisting with building a settlement on Vhaloosigor, which would ~~become known as Raaxium~~, the compound having the ability to enhance emotions. After an expedition assisted by the Aeldari she accidental breathes some of the compound in and gains intense mood swings. The Ethereals in her party decide to use this opportunity to test to see if the crystals would be useful in managing the Tau populous." - Anonymous AdMech Scribe

This description by the unknown AdMech scribe has been corrected by a T'au historian:

“Upon the surface of Raaxaagh” - wrong, it was Vhaloosigor, Firesoul was never allowed on Raaxaagh. “become known as Raaxium” - Raaxium and the Vhaloosigor crystals are two completely different substances. Firesoul named the Vhaloosigor crystals. “Ran’dras”, which is T’au for “spirit stones”. “Intense mood swings” - technically correct, but it was because the crystals began to physically grow inside her body. There was a vein in her arm.

#### The Siege of Sheol

"The Sheol 1st Rifles are destroyed and C'tan are released underneath the city of Sheol. Soon later the city is retaken by Imperialis Divinus(Verum) and is continuing to attempt to remove the C'tan from the sewers." - Anonymous AdMech Scribe

#### The Speculation of the Akashic Record

"High Lord Zaralosen of Walkzure of the Adpetus Mechanicus, from who's archives I abridge to form this, arrives in system. He begins an investigation of the Daemon apparently locked beneath the surface of the world in order to find "The Akashic Record". A data storage device containing what he claimed to be all knowledge. It's existence simply a posit of the Logi, not a confirmed fact, yet the mad-man pressed forward. Attempting even to free the daemon below Tenebris." - Anonymous AdMech Scribe

#### The Blackstone Fortress Rises

"The Blackstone fortress upon Tenebris rises, a number of Xenos, Imperial, and Chaos ships rise to fight it. It is destroyed before it can reach it's destination and destroy a planet within the system. The Tau and Eldar later lay claim to it's wreckage above Tenebris and the Tau are able to quell the warp disturbance in Absconrio." - Anonymous AdMech Scribe

#### The 1st Melyrian is Deployed

Inquisitor Syleen influences the formation of the Melyrian 1st, a Guardsman regiment. They would be deployed to Tenebris in order to address a rising Genestealer Cultist threat, but there is another reason why they are being sent there, though the Imperials sent are largely kept in the dark. This marks the beginning of the There is Only War campaign.

"A strange entity begins to appear upon Na'van, something that appeared to consume the very soul. An investigation team headed by tech-priest Gallius of Mars makes their way to the locus of the entity. They disturb it and attack it openly. This causes a panic from most factions. Zaralosen having made allies with Gallius, hiding his possession, uses the information to send chaos forces to Na'van and as the information is leaked out the 31st Mectoran Legion is sent out to assist as a number of factions agree to blockade the planet. Gallius, who had been sent by Cawl, works with the Tau to maintain this blockade." - Anonymous AdMech Scribe

#### The return of the Isklandrz Walkzure and Ishun The Firelord

"Zaralosen alongside a number of nurgle daemons recover an Ark Mechanicus lost in the warp in transit to Absconrio originating from Walkzure. Soon after, Zaralosen's possession advances.
