Lucis Ex Via Sinister, Our Ending
Aurealogi Belsepanium > Sigillum Historiographus |
The Via Sinister is walked now, the light at its end an inferno, the furnace in which the Emperor’s will be done. Those few of us left alive can say truthfully that the God-Emperor has smiled upon our labors, and that the Calixian extent of the Imperium of Man continues. That must be our reward, that so few know how we thrust spears into the Beast to slay it in the darkness of the voids, out of sight and record.
Ignorance is the shield of Mankind against the temptations of the Archenemy, and in this way the Emperor protects.
But by my very nature, I cannot go into forth unremarked to a hidden obscurity, far from the Ordos who would hunt us as hereticus and diabolis. Not without the final word, a last accounting of the years of Imperial service represented by these ragged dataslates and crystal infovaults, these electrotomes and scattered silversheaf, these vox-records and musty cogitators from distant Astrae Imperia.
Therefore, I leave this as record of the anni aureum of Inquisitor Hrald Belsepan, and of the many loyal adepts and Inquisitors-Minor of his Conclave Sinister, gathered from the disarrayed librarum fragments to have survived our ending.
May they all rest peacefully in the Emperor’s sight.
