Thorbald Ironhide"I will not forgive. You lying piece of fekke! You dare mock the sons of Fenris? You dare make seditious speeches and insult the Allfather? I will not forgive! So you say you want our blood? Then come and get it!" The Space Wolf leader lets out a long howl.

Entry point 3 of 6
UralonUralon staggers back from the blow. Your strikes have crumpled his blood-red armour, and his face bears a grimace of pain. He turns his mad eyes to Voigtvir, who is thrashing in his own blood. "Brother Twilight, the hour that was promised to you has come. The Edge of Daybreak grants you the honour of serving as his weapon. Be awed by your high destiny!"
Kunrad VoigtvirVoigtvir's turquoise eyes widen with understanding mixed with terror. "What? Now? But I'm... I'm not ready! It's not what you promised! You said I would reign!"
UralonUralon draws a blade shard shimmering with unnatural light. "Ways change, Brother Twilight, and nothing lasts in our lord's hand. But you will reign indeed — as a vessel for your master." The blade cuts Voigtvir's coat and chest open, sinking deep into his flesh and finding its way to his heart. The glyphs carved into his skin by his ruthless mentor begin to glow so bright you can see them clearly through his clothes.
YOU"I know that sword. Its shards were used in two attempts on my life. Unsuccessful attempts, might I add."
Uralon"This one will be the last. What you in your ignorance brazenly call shards is in truth a triune relic, the seat of the great spirit of the Edge of Daybreak, one who serves the master himself, the Changer of Ways. You do not deserve to behold his visage... but you will."

YOU"Kunrad, fight it! Can't you see you have been deceived and used?"
Uralon"So be it... as long as I... get my revenge on you!" Voigtvir doubles over, but his voice is still seething with malice.
UralonThe pernicious warp energies seep into his body, causing it to glow and flicker. With a mad cry of pain and exultation, Kunrad Voigtvir ceases to exist, and a mighty winged figure rises from his bloody remains.
Uralon"Edge... of Daybreak... I witness you..." Uralon musters enough strength for a faint vengeful smile. "Enter the forlorn halls of reality and claim them. I gave all that I had in your name. Hail... the Truth..." His giant body goes limp, his face forever retaining a wicked expression of triumph.
Edge of Daybreak"My imprisonment ends. I am made manifest. Rejoice, mortal witnesses, for I have come to lord over you." The daemon lets out a hoarse, cawing laugh. "I told you that you would welcome my return to reality."
YOU"The Edge of Daybreak. I have suffered much grief committed in devotion to your name."
Edge of Daybreak"It is what I am called. An old name imagined by an old race. They feared me, but still they could not resist the pull of my secrets."
YOU"The Edge of Daybreak. I have suffered much grief committed in devotion to your name."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Your spirit was bound within the shards of this blade?"
Edge of Daybreak"Indeed I was bound. The dancing souls, the Aeldari, rose against me, lured me into a trap, and shackled my spirit with the shape of this weapon. For aeons I remained in this prison, subtly forcing my will into your wretched, immalleable world. But even a shred of my power was enough to tempt countless souls. Here I am now in all my glory."

Edge of Daybreak"Time holds value only for short-lived creatures such as you. Mark this well until the end of your transient existence: everything is going according to plan! Everything always goes according to my plan..."

YOU"For the Emperor and Humanity! I will cast you back to your unholy warp!"
Edge of Daybreak"You cannot fathom how pathetic and foolish your threats sound, fleeting creature. I am an eternal mystery, while you are an evanescent spark. Fade away."
YOU"I am Rogue Trader [Name] von Valancius, and none shall lord over my subjects but me."
Edge of Daybreak"The memory of you will disappear sooner than the echo of your insipid name. I have no more need of you. Begone."
YOU"Edge of Daybreak, I seek no conflict with you. I wish to drink of the wisdom of the Immaterium!"
Edge of Daybreak"Curious... However, your path is woven a different way. I gaze into the future and do not see you among my ranks. That means I have no need of you."

AbelardAbelard adjusts his grip on his weapon as he surveys the monstrous creature. "Why do I get the feeling that I have seen, no, not seen but come across this warp spawn before?" The old officer frowns, as if trying to pry a stubborn memory out of the depths of remembrance.
IdiraIdira screws her eyes shut... and when she opens them again, blood is running down her cheeks. "I... see... light..."
MarazhaiMarazhai grips his weapon tighter as he looks over the monstrosity facing him. Suppressed fear blends with dark admiration in his eyes. "Come on, [Name]... what are we waiting for?"
HeinrixHeinrix's face twists for a moment. He clutches at his chest as if he is having a heart attack... but, a moment later, he straightens and glares at the daemon with grim determination.
YOU"Well, this is interesting. Go ahead, Kunrad. Make way for an opponent who is worth my time. I am ready!"
Uralon"I... hate... you!" It takes Voigtvir a colossal effort to force these final hateful words through his sliced windpipe.

Entry point 4 of 6
Edge of DaybreakThe mighty being is defeated. The warp energies gushing out of its disintegrating shell sweep over you like vile winds. Vog'Haik'Sameth raises his monstrous head and fixes his gaze on you.
Edge of Daybreak"Child of the Dawn, your might... is doubtless. Your path to greatness lies before you. But you should know that in order for the Weaver of Destinies to choose that exact path for you, you must not disclose your allegiance to the Dark Gods yet. Craft your first secret. Conceal that it was you who spilt the blood of the false believers. Lie and let fallen servants of the Dark Gods take credit for your acts. Gain fame as a champion, the smiter of heresy who has crushed the despicable apostates. And right now, allow the Golden Throne's agents to complete their clandestine machinations. In the end, you will reap what they have sown and your might will know no limits."
Edge of DaybreakThe daemon beckons you with his clawed hand. "My time in realspace is nearing its end. Come close and claim your reward."
UralonAt the daemon's last gasp, blasphemous words slither into your ears, slide along the edge of your mind, and sink their teeth into your heart forever. The blood in your veins begins to boil as the corruption rises from it like steam, pouring out of your mouth and eyes, merging with the dissipating shell of the fallen daemon... and taking on a new form. You are holding a relic of Chaos, one imbued with the rage of Vog'Haik'Sameth and moulded by your very soul.
Uralon(sequence)
Psyber-RavenThe psyber-raven hovers over the shifting form of the entity, absorbing a part of its essence. The raven's black eyes flash with azure and gold, and its beak lets out a fading burst of laughter in the voice of the imprisoned daemon.
Uralon"I stand in awe of you, champion. Overpowering the master... No puny mortal could have possibly done that. The Primordial Truth itself speaks through your deeds."
YOU"I killed the one you were so eager to summon — I killed him before your very eyes and you did not even interfere, did you?"
Uralon"The master was testing you; I had no right to interfere. He beheld every path and he said himself that the Great Four had blessed each of those paths; therefore your deeds have the Truth's blessing. You are a champion and I dare not oppose your will."
YOU"I killed the one you were so eager to summon — I killed him before your very eyes and you did not even interfere, did you?"

YOU"You will be next if you dare stand in my way."
Uralon"I am here to help you along your new path, champion, not to stand in it. It will be a pleasure for me to behold you walking it and strewing it with the corpses of blind fools and false believers."

YOU"What now?"
Uralon"Remember the master's last words. Conceal the truth of what happened here, allow the servants of the false god to carry out their plan, and collect your due."
Uralon"We shall part ways for now, champion. I will lie low in the dungeons of Eufrates so that our enemies think I fell by your hand. But I shall resurface. Soon. Very soon."
YOU"Begone, sorcerer. We are done here."

Entry point 5 of 6
UralonThe last of the Space Wolves is slain. Courage and fury are not enough to defeat fate, from whose threads your purpose is woven. The Space Marines' spilt blood covers the battlefield, slowly flowing together to form unholy patterns and blasphemous runes.
Uralon"This was a worthy sacrifice, Child of the Dawn. The master will be pleased. Now take the final step and weave your thread forever into the ornament of the inescapable future."
Kunrad Voigtvir"Explain yourself, Uralon! This is not what you promised! You said I would reign supreme! And now you're welcoming my enemy with open arms?"
Uralon"I did not lie, Brother Twilight: the hour that was promised to you has come. You truly do have a special part to play." The Dark Apostle turns his gaze toward you and smiles. You feel a throbbing in your chest as the dark will that you have absorbed along with the blade shards reaches for Kunrad's heart.
YOU[Kill Kunrad] "Fulfil your destiny. Become an instrument of the Edge of Daybreak!"
UralonThe glyphs carved into Voigtvir's body by his cruel mentor are shining blindingly through his clothes. "I... hate... you!" With a terrible effort, he squeezes his furious last words out of his blood-filled windpipe.
UralonThe pernicious warp energies seep into his body, causing it to glow and flicker. With a mad cry of pain and exultation, Kunrad Voigtvir ceases to exist, and a mighty winged figure rises from his bloody remains.
Uralon"I behold you, Edge of Daybreak! Enter the transient realm of reality and rule it. The Child of the Dawn has spilt the blood of unbelievers and fools so that you can be incarnated right here and now. Glory to the Truth!"
Edge of Daybreak"My imprisonment ends. I am made manifest. Rejoice, mortal witnesses, for I have come to lord over you." The daemon lets out a hoarse, cawing laugh. "I told you that you would welcome my return to reality."
Edge of Daybreak"You have proven your loyalty, and so henceforth you will be my new prophet, Child of the Dawn! Now swear fealty to me, Vog'Haik'Sameth, as you and your cult bow before me. You will possess secrets and knowledge balanced on the brink of oblivion, on the edges of futures that never came to pass. But there is another path that I see. One in which I become a desolating weapon in the hands of the champion of Chaos. You should know that both paths — the one where our threads intertwine and the one where mine is cut short — will lead you to greatness and glorify the Primordial Truth. The choice is yours."
YOU"We meet at last, Edge of Daybreak. I have heard quite a lot about you."
Edge of Daybreak"My name will only resound louder now that I am incarnate. Every secret, every grain of knowledge in this pitiful reality will carry within it an echo of my name!"

The secret words spoken at the dawn of time that bring death and ruin to all whose ears they reach. The true names of forgotten deities that will summon bloodthirsty shadows to serve you. Forgotten knowledge that can create an empire or pulverise one. All of that can be yours if you acknowledge me as your master and take the path that I show you."

Edge of Daybreak"Goodbye, Child of the Dawn. I will watch your deeds." The daemon waves his hand and a portal opens. The Edge of Daybreak disappears into it.
Uralon"We shall part ways for now, champion. I will lie low in the dungeons of Eufrates so that our enemies think I fell by your hand. But I shall resurface. Soon. Very soon."
YOU[Attack] "I will be a champion — I have endured too much to bow my head now!"
Edge of DaybreakThe daemon laughs raspily again. "So be it, Child of the Dawn! Reveal your essence and try to contend with the will of the Weaver of Destinies!"
YOU[Call your psyber-raven] "I shall bend your power to my will. I even have a suitable vessel prepared already."
Edge of DaybreakThe daemon laughs raspily again. "A true Child of the Dawn who hungers for infinite power. Contend with me, and the outcome will decide whether you are to fall to that which carries the will of the Weaver of Destinies — or make it your servant."

Uralon"My victory was predestined, for you were outnumbered. You are a handful of fools who worship a dead fallacy. I have the Great Four on my side. May they revel in the blood that spills from the veins of heathens!"
UralonUralon burns you with a baleful gaze. "Did you think that saying empty prayers to a withered husk could disrupt the course of my magic? For this sacrilege, you will be purged harshly."
Kunrad Voigtvir"You are late, [Name]. Your allies have fallen. Perhaps it's time to admit your defeat? If you do, I promise... no, I won't promise you anything. Whatever you choose, you will die a slow and excruciating death."
YOU[Look at the fallen Space Wolves]
UralonThe wounds left by Uralon's blows are dire, but the Emperor's Angels are known for their hardiness. You have arrived just in time to stop the profane sorcerer from finishing them off.
YOU[Look at the fallen Space Wolves]continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Sameth."
UralonThe wrath in Uralon's eyes gives way to surprise, then triumph. "You speak the name of the Third Dawn. You have come to me not as a thrall to the corpse emperor, but as a servant of our master. If that is so, I will not fight you, and instead will allow you to share the great honour of spilling the blood of false believers in a sacred ritual!"
Kunrad Voigtvir"What? What is the meaning of this? I—"
Uralon"Silence, Brother Twilight. I was asking the one who walks the thread of Daybreak." Uralon addresses you again. "Will you accept the honour and spill the blood of fools who blindly believe in a false god?"
YOU[Wink at Kunrad mockingly]
Kunrad VoigtvirAll but choking with frustration, rage, and confusion, Kunrad merely clenches his jaw until it cracks and stares daggers at you without daring to defy the sorcerer.

YOU"Spill the blood of these defeated weaklings? Just that and nothing else? I will gladly make that trifling sacrifice! I must admit I expected more from the Emperor's Angels."
UralonA ferocious roar interrupts you. Overcoming their grievous wounds, the Space Wolves — all of them — rise to their feet. They are headed by Thorbald, who looks at you as if you were a walking lump of rotten flesh. His blood-smeared face is contorted in a grimace of furious contempt.
UralonThe sorcerer touches some unholy amulet and the haze of a protective field envelops him and Kunrad. "Child of the Dawn, I will not interfere, for this is a sacrifice you must make on your own. Fulfil your destiny! May the pious receive the gift of sacrifice!"
YOU"I am not your lord's servant and I am certainly not going to obey a wretch like you! No blood will be spilt here save for yours."
UralonBitter disappointment is visible in the sorcerer's eyes. "You reject your destiny in the name of your worthless pride? Such a shame. Off with you, then! May the pious receive the gift of sacrifice!"

YOU"I propose a truce. Give me Voigtvir and one half of the treasure you seek, and I shall let you walk away with your life."

UralonThe suave whisper blossoms in your head again: an echo of words that were never said and yet are as old as time. "The moment has come for the Truth to be revealed, Child of the Dawn. Speak the final name to fulfil what was foretold: 'Sameth.' I will await our meeting."
