  • Great Game
rdfs:comment
  • The Great Game is a post-War rivalry and struggle between pre-War geniuses and billionaries, beginning after the Great War of October 23rd, 2077.
  • However, on rare occasions, the Chaos Gods will act in temporary unison so as to thwart a common threat -- such as the attempt by the Emperor of Mankind to extend the control of Order over the galaxy during the Great Crusade -- or to take advantage of a specific set of circumstances that will benefit them as a whole. In the early 31st Millennium the Horus Heresy presented one such period, when the Chaos Gods acted in concert to bring about Horus and the Traitor Legions' betrayal of the Emperor so that they might forever put an end to the threat that human unity and the institution of the Imperial Truth presented to the continued existence of Chaos.

  • The Great Game is a post-War rivalry and struggle between pre-War geniuses and billionaries, beginning after the Great War of October 23rd, 2077.
  • However, on rare occasions, the Chaos Gods will act in temporary unison so as to thwart a common threat -- such as the attempt by the Emperor of Mankind to extend the control of Order over the galaxy during the Great Crusade -- or to take advantage of a specific set of circumstances that will benefit them as a whole. In the early 31st Millennium the Horus Heresy presented one such period, when the Chaos Gods acted in concert to bring about Horus and the Traitor Legions' betrayal of the Emperor so that they might forever put an end to the threat that human unity and the institution of the Imperial Truth presented to the continued existence of Chaos. The Great Game of the Chaos Gods is also played out amongst their daemonic and mortal followers in the Realm of Chaos and in the Materium. The Greater Daemons, Daemon Princes, Daemon Primarchs and the more powerful Chaos Lords and Chaos Sorcerers all participate in the Great Game on behalf of their divine patrons, for they know that success against their Chaotic rivals will grant them ever greater levels of power and favour.
