Editing Thousand Sons (section)

===Hope for redemption?===
Out of all the Chaos Legions, the Thousand Sons are the most sympathetic. Yes, they have went out of their way to mass cleanse Fenris and kill the Space Wolves, but [[Black Templars|a lot]] [[Imperial Fists|of]] [[Inquisition |people]] [[Dark Angels|hate]] them. However, it has been established by various books that the majority of the Sons hate being Tzeentch puppets. When attacking the Imperium, most sorcerers seek for justice or forbidden knowledge. Magnus himself hates serving the Chaos God even though his mind was reshaped to serve. The Primarch and his Legion are basically slaves. The Thousands Sons also attacked the Sons of Horus, which led to the events that saved the Shattered legions.

In short, there are only two possible chances for salvation since the Rubric:
# Ahriman's mission to save his brothers leads to a possible separation of the Legion from Chaos. Seeing how well that worked the first two times he tried his Rubric, a third one is not any more likely to work.
# If the separation of Magnus' soul is possible. It could be undone in theory (although given the nature of Daemon Princes, the chances of this are abysmal), but Magnus has actively prevented the Thousand Sons from trying.

In conclusion, to put it bluntly, it is near impossible. If it were to happen, most of the Legion is likely to die in the process. Besides, Magnus most likely doesn't want to go back to the Imperium anymore anyway. ''Fury of Magnus'' reveals that the Emperor offered him a chance to return to the Imperial fold at the head of the [[Grey Knights]], and Magnus rejected it because it would have meant abandoning his sons to Chaos, which he considered too dear a price to pay. Furthermore, he attempted to kill the Emperor and forever repudiated him afterward, and the odds of his having changed his mind after 10,000 years of constant war are pretty small. It was originally thought that if the Thousand Sons found out about the Sons of Horus' involvement in the destruction of Prospero, Magnus would go after him. As it turns out, though, Magnus already knew that Horus had interfered by changing Russ' orders from "arrest Magnus and haul his ass back to Terra" to "wipe him and his legion off the face of the galaxy", and he still blames the Emperor and Malcador for sending the [[Leman Russ|primarch]] and [[Space Wolves|legion]] because Magnus is a fucking idiot.
