The land itself was boiling under the feet of everyone as they stood upon the stages of Nikea. TalOS himself was next to his liege, High Lord Kelbor Hal, who in turn was seated next to the Emperor. Next to the Emperor was Malcador whose age was surely catching up to him.
Dorn had done a good job in making the entire hall so immense. Upon every wall was a balcony filled with peoples of all types looking down upon the floor with interest and anticipation. Brothers such as Mortaion were present looking upon the hall with scorn in their eyes.
This event, as marked within the records of the Adeptus Mechanicus, was to be known as the Council of Nikea. It was called for by the Wolf, Leman Russ, against his brother Magnus the Red for the crimes of corruption and injury.
TalOS remembered the days that he met Ahriman and tried to help him save his Legion from the disease that gripped him. The claws of Tzeentch sinking themselves into the Legion manifested in what was known as Flesh-Change. To see it return only proved that the Emperor’s words so long ago were right. That Magnus’s foresight was stolen and in doing so Tzeentch has tricked him into becoming a pawn of his.
Ultimately there was no crime committed by the Thousand Sons, but TalOS already knew this event to be the Trial of Magnus the Red. For over a century he has helped bring the Psyker to the light of the rest of mankind. So many within this room however did not agree to the fact that Psykers should be seen as equal among humanity.
TalOS knew from the records given to him that this all started because Magnus was trying to rescue a Library, after being nearly a decade late in meeting up with Leman Russ. Leman Russ, even if he did not show it, was angered by the sheer transgression against him and the clear insanity that had caused Magnus to become like this.
Much like the Priests of the Mechanicum, Magnus would do anything for knowledge. Though he has not realized how one needed to be courteous around others when you were digging through the wreckage of other civilizations.
As TalOS watched Ahriman collapse upon the ground he knew that the first session of discussions were over with. Nothing too much had happened in it, for it was the next one where open comment was to be welcomed by the Emperor of Mankind.
>Speak in defense of the Psykers
>Go against the Psyker
>Keep one’s silence.
