Editing The Golden Throne (section)

== So what happened to that? ==
In short, [[Horus Heresy|Horus Happened]], and [[Magnus The Red|Magnus fucked up at the worst possible time.]] (What!? Magnus did nothing wrong!)

Not long after the Emprah put [[Horus]] in charge of going out and killing in his name, he went back to Terra to figure out the more administrative aspects of the Imperium of Man. This included setting the final groundwork for mankind’s access to the [[Eldar|Elfdar]]'s portal-realm - the Webway. The project was top-secret, even the Primarchs didn't know of its existence. This along with the creation of the Council of Terra, kinda pissed-off his sons, at which point a couple of them decided the Emprah wasn't their REAL dad and threw a big hissy fit. Malcador, the Emperor's right-hand, and Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the Imperial Fists, decided to roll up on the Palace and see what the fuck was going on, wherein He received them and FINALLY spilled the beans on his ‘master plan’. Elsewhere, Magnus the Red discovered the Chaos Gods were trying their good goddamnedest to get that Horus Heresy thing going full tilt. In desperation he made use of a sorcerous ritual to warn Empy shit was going down...and that shattered the psychic shields around the Imperial Webway extension, allowing all sorts of Warp Nasties to enter with the possibility of invading Terra itself (not a good thing). This prompted the Custodes and [[Sisters of Silence]] to engage in a vicious five year battle to defend mankind’s claims in the Webway. They did a good job, but eventually had to retreat due to the grinding attrition of the endless demon-tide. The Emperor used his considerable psychic powers to manifest a blinding light that repelled the daemons, buying time for the survivors to make their way back to the Materium. He then forced the gate shut, closing humanity from the Webway, and the daemons from Terra.

Problem was, the only way to keep the damn thing closed was to be a powerful Primarch or better in terms of psychic power to keep the daemons on the right side of that gate. So from then on, the throne went from a Psychic beacon and possible savior of mankind, to the Emperor's prison, ensuring that he'd have to sit there and keep Daemons out of his yard while Horus went about fucking things up until Malcador came back and basically begged him to get up and go deal with that, and he took his place on the throne for several days and was essentially boiled alive by psychic power after being on it...and then the Emperor came back to the Imperial Dungeon, barely clinging to life. The Techpriests and Dorn pulled him off of it, and the Emperor was returned to the throne, where he gave a quick speech, and quietly took his place back on the gold-plated toilet, and he's been there ever since for the last several thousand years.
