This page is part of the Warmasters Triumvirate, a fan re-working of the Warhammer 40,000 Universe. See the Warmasters Triumvirate page for more information on the Alternate Universe.

After the Primarchs were dispersed throughout the galaxy by the Ruinous Powers, the Emperor reunites them, and continues on with His Great Crusade. During the closing years of this two-hundred year crusade, during the height of the Ullanor Crusade, the Emperor is fatally wounded by the Ork Overlord Urrlak Urruk, and is rushed to Terra to be interred in the Golden Throne. Before departing Ullanor, He instructs his Regent, Malcador the Sigillite, to chose three Primarchs to share the title of Warmaster, just in case something goes wrong, and to continue prosecuting the Great Crusade in His absence. As the mortally wounded Emperor is interred back on Terra, the 'Warmasters Triumvirate' are appointed by Malcador: Marduk Engur, Primarch of the Leviathan's Host; Je'She of the Watch, Primarch of the Sentinels; and Frederick Aristide, Primarch of the Emperor's Dragoons.

The administration of the Imperium is eventually taken over by mere mortals, infuriating some of the Primarchs. Moreover, the Imperial Truth is being forgotten, and the Emperor begins to be seen as a living god, which infuriates even more of the Pirmarchs. Seeing hypocrisy running rampant amongst the senior officials of the Terran Court and burgeoning Imperial government, the Primarchs eventually unite themselves under a common banner, and begin to pave the way to secession from the Imperium of Man.

Soon entire regions of the galaxy are engulfed in chaos as small-scale confrontations, skirmishes, political arguments and random planetary secessions take place, threatening to drive the Imperium into all-out civil war. To prevent the conflict's escalation, Marduk calls for a peace talk on a neutral planet. Both sides, Loyalists and Separatists, are tricked by the Primarch of the Soaring Host, Elsu Eyanosa, who kills Malcador in such a manner that both sides think that the other is responsible for the Regent's death. The galaxy-wide conflict quickly escalates, and the 'Brotherwar' begins.

Eventually, Marduk reveals his true allegiance to the Ruinous Powers, and attacks Holy Terra. His main objective: to kill the Emperor of Mankind...
