910s-940s God emperors constrain the Haze ending the “first psychic uprising”. They augment conditioning to their aims.

1030s-1050s “Second psychic uprising” between isolationist and interventionist psychics. Did the psychics saved the imperium to save conditioning or to save the people of the imperium? Now that the Haze is contained, what is even the point of conditioning? Some psychics wanted to create a new psychic flowering or simply regain free will for humanity. After they are destroyed in a physical form, these prometheans manifest themselves as prophecies bound to heroic humans.

1053 One such heroic figure - Azuis - leads a “barbarian” army from the Aldén highlands and after defeating the Arotrax legions, conditioning miraculously acclaims them Imperator - probably on the perspective that the God Emperors are not human, therefore they cannot be Emperors. As Azuis is seated in Xerxus, the Imperialist Psychics pray to the psychics of old and recognise that the prometheans want to ignite an arms race of prophecies and human proxies that would eventually empower humanity and set in a new psychic flowering.

Instead, they disengage and relegate themselves to keeping the Haze stable, until even that is no longer necessary. They remain in the flesh-mounds of all their former human hosts and later sacrifices laid under mountains around the Haze perimeter.

1054 Azuis briefly comes into contact with Psychics and the understanding of his role drives him mad. He rules for another 30 years as a hollow husk.

1054-1105 Azuis’ concubine Osha carries forward the promethean prophecies by eliminating the remaining lower tier psychic in the imperium (the young angels). The last ones, alongside with the old Osha commit suicide upon recognising their role and to conclude the bound the prophecy holds on their bloodline)

1105-1147 The Miserable Emperors - the descendants of Osha from Azuis and Young Angels. Despite their sacrifices, they are tormented by the Promethean prophecy in their inability to gain free will.

1144-47 Toras II, the last of these Emperors, is an unstable alcoholic abusive young man. He attempts to tamper with the conditioning mechanism, which sets the conditioned bureaucracy to come up with contingencies. The problem of the series of unstable emperors is finally recognised, and from their perspective, the issue was that the Emperors are not conditioned. Nobody remembers the god emperors anymore, so there is no reasonable explanation as to why they are not. The bureaucracy grooms Elax I to be a new, conditioned emperor, use Toras II’s paranoia to eliminate all his relatives other than Elax. Then they enable Toras II’s alcoholism until he dies an early death and Elax is installed as a dependable puppet to the machine.

Thereafter Human emperors use conditioning to keep the Imperium in stasis until it is fatally compromised to satisfy power struggles.
