Overview 概述

Following the attempt of Magnus the Red to warn the Emperor of Horus's treachery, catastrophe struck Terra. Magnus's psychic warning breached the wards the Emperor had placed around the Imperial Palace, causing the Golden Throne, a device intended to allow human travel within the Webway, to malfunction. As the Golden Throne broke down, the Webway Portal deep within the Imperial Palace became breached. Floods of daemons rushed through this breach, and the Emperor despatched the Custodes and Sisters of Silence to hold the line and prevent Terra from being overrun. As the Custodes and Silent Sisterhood fought back immense Daemonic hordes, the Emperor sat upon the Golden Throne in a desperate attempt to stabilise the Webway Portal. Even the Emperor's psychic might was tested in this endeavour, and He became visibly exerted. The war within the Webway consumed the Emperor's attention, leaving the waging of the simultaneous defense against theHorus Heresy to Malcador, Rogal Dorn and Constantine Valdor. Malcador was the only one allowed to regularly visit with the Emperor.

在赤红之马格努斯试图警告帝皇荷鲁斯的背叛之后，泰拉遭受了灾难。马格努斯的灵能警告突破了帝皇在皇宫周围设置的防护，导致旨在允许人类在网道内航行的装置黄金王座发生故障。随着黄金王座的崩溃，皇宫深处的网道门户被攻破。大量的恶魔冲过这个缺口，帝皇派遣了禁军和寂静修女来守住防线，防止泰拉被淹没。当禁军和寂静修女击退了庞大的恶魔大军时，帝皇坐在黄金王座上，绝望地试图稳定网道门户。甚至帝皇的灵能力量也在这项努力中受到了考验，他明显地发挥了作用。网道内部的战争消耗了帝皇的注意力，将同时防御荷鲁斯叛乱的任务留给了马卡多、罗格·多恩和康斯坦丁·瓦尔多。马卡多是唯一一个被允许定期拜访帝皇的人。

Soon enough, the war within the Webway fell into a pattern. The Custodians established a series of blockades across the tunnels within the Webway. Behind these defended areas, the Mechanicum workers were repairing the damaged sections of tunnel and sealing the rifts to prevent more daemons from getting inside the Webway. In front of the blockades, the Custodians and Sisters launched lightning-fast counter-attacks to keep the daemonic horde off-balance and prevent them massing in strength. Slowly, but surely, the Imperial forces were pushing the blockades forward as the pressure from the daemonic attacks waned. Nevertheless, some daemon assaults did manage to break through the Imperial defences and on those rare occasions the attackers wreaked havoc on the Imperial workers. More than once the daemonic entities were able to fight their way to the warp-gate of the Golden Throne. Desperate fighting ensued as the Custodians and Sisters doubled their efforts to throw back the daemons and prevent them surging through the warp-gate and into the Imperial Dungeon beyond.

很快，网道内部的战争就陷入了一种模式。禁军在网道内的隧道内建立了一系列封锁。在这些防御区后面，机械教工人正在修复受损的隧道部分，并密封裂缝，以防止更多的恶魔进入网道。在封锁线前，禁军和修女们发动了闪电般的反击，以保持恶魔部落的平衡，防止他们集结。随着恶魔袭击的压力减弱，帝国军队正在缓慢但坚定地推进封锁。然而，一些恶魔的攻击确实突破了帝国的防御，在极少数情况下，攻击者对帝国工人造成了严重破坏。恶魔实体不止一次能够战斗到黄金王座的亚空间门。随着禁军和修女们加倍努力击退恶魔，防止他们冲进亚空间门，进入远处的帝国地牢，绝望的战斗随之而来。

As the war raged on, new troops appeared amongst the hordes of daemons attacking the Imperial forces. The powers of Chaos sent foully corrupted Chaos Space Marines, Titans and other war machines into the Webway to try and force a victory. Mighty Greater Daemons including Bloodthirsters joined the battle as well. The sanctity of the Imperial Palace, the fate of the Imperium and the very life of the Emperor depended on the Custodian Guard and the Sisters of Silence. If they couldn't defeat the daemonic horde and its corrupted allies then Humanity was surely doomed.

随着战争的持续，新的军队出现在攻击帝国军队的恶魔大军中。混沌的力量派遣了肮脏腐化的混沌星际战士、泰坦和其他战争机械进入网道，试图取得胜利。包括嗜血狂魔在内的强大的大魔也加入了战斗。皇宫的神圣、帝国的命运和帝皇的生命都取决于禁军和寂静修女。如果他们不能打败恶魔部落及其腐化的盟友，那么人类肯定注定要灭亡。

The war within the Webway was waged for the next five years. Imperial forces were centred around the abandoned Eldar city of Calastar, known as the Impossible City, defending the Webway tunnels constructed by the Mechanicum and held together by the Emperor upon the Golden Throne. The Custodes were reduced by 90% and the Sisters suffered greatly as well. Two of the three commanding Custodes Tribunes were killed, leaving Ra Endymion as the primary Imperial officer. The Impossible City itself soon came under threat as a formidable new foe, Drach'nyen, appeared among the Daemonic hordes. Faced with this, the Custodes Diocletian Coros was charged with securing reinforcements from Terra. Due to the secrecy of the project, the scarce resources available because of the ongoing Heresy, the maddening effect of Chaos, and the questionable loyalty of the Legiones Astartes only the doomed prisoners of House Vyridion, the crippled Blood Angel Dominion Zephon, and Mechanicum Servitors and Skitarii were provided. A Mechanicum Dominus known as The Archimandrite was charged with leading them in the final defense of Calastar. Meanwhile, the Emperor charged the Sisters of Silence with the Unspoken Sanction, and the Black Ships worked at a hurried pace to gather Psykers across the Galaxy.

在接下来的五年里，网道内部的战争一直在进行。帝国军队集中在被遗弃的灵族城市卡拉斯塔周围，被称为“不可能之城”，保卫由机械教建造并由帝皇在黄金王座上聚集在一起的网道隧道。禁军减少了90%，修女们也遭受了巨大的损害。三名指挥官中的两名被杀，留下拉·恩底弥翁担任帝国的主要军官。不可能之城本身很快就受到了威胁，因为一个强大的新敌人德拉科’尼恩出现在了恶魔部落中。面对这种情况，禁军戴克里先·克罗斯负责从泰拉获得增援。由于该项目的保密性，由于持续的叛乱、混沌的疯狂影响以及阿斯塔特军团成员的可疑忠诚而导致的可用资源稀缺，只提供了维利迪翁家族的死囚、残废的圣血天使多米尼恩·泽丰以及机械教机仆和护教军。一位被称为技术牧首的机械教统御贤者负责带领他们进行卡拉斯塔的最后防御。与此同时，帝皇向寂静修女们发出了沉默法案，黑船们匆匆忙忙地在银河系各地集结了灵能者。

In the siege of Calastar, the Custodes-led forces held back countless Chaotic hordes but the walls of the city were shattered by Warhound Titans of the Legio Audax. Brutal fighting for Calastar raged for weeks on end, the Custodes and Sisters not having a moment's rest. As Daemonic, Traitor Legionnaire and Chaos Titan hordes swarmed into Calastar, The Archimandrite ordered a general retreat of her forces. They intended to abandon to the Custodes and Sisters and instead secure the Webway route to Mars and reclaim their sacred homeland. This desperate treachery did not save The Archimandrite who was possessed by Drach'nyen, her gigantic mechanical form being used to attack the retreating Imperials. Calastar fell and the Chaos forces drove the Imperials all the way back to the Webway Gate leading to Terra itself.

在卡拉斯塔围城中，禁军率领的部队击退了无数混沌的部落，但城市的城墙被莽勇军团的战犬泰坦摧毁。卡拉斯塔的残酷战斗持续了数周，禁军和修女们没有片刻的休息。随着恶魔、叛徒军团和混沌泰坦大军涌入卡拉斯塔，技术牧首命令她的部队全面撤退。他们打算放弃禁军和修女们，转而确保通往火星的网道路线，夺回他们神圣的家园。这种绝望的背叛并没有拯救被德拉科附身的技术牧首，她巨大的机械形态被用来攻击撤退的帝国。卡拉斯塔陷落，混沌势力一路将帝国军赶回通往泰拉的网道门。

It was at this moment that the Unspoken Sanction was completed on Terra. A thousand captured Psykers were sacrificed to power the Golden Throne without the Emperor. Free from His prison for a single day, He plunged into the Webway and appeared as a burning dawn before the Chaos hordes. The Emperor blazed with a golden psychic fire that he channelled into the very structure of the webway, and the Emperor plunged into the Daemon's ranks, reaping a terrible toll wherever He fought. The exhausted Custodes were reinvigorated by their master, fighting by their side. The Emperor summoned an army of loyal Imperial dead including Ferrus Manus that took the form of blazing avatars to fight the Daemons. Drach'nyen itself soon appeared, proclaiming itself the Emperor's end. However, the Master of Mankind was able to seal him into Custodian Ra Endymion, who was then ordered to run into the depths of the Webway.

就在这一刻，在泰拉上完成了沉默法案。一千名捕获的灵能者被牺牲，在没有帝皇的情况下启动了黄金王座。从监狱上解放了一天，他跳入了网道，在混沌大军面前出现了一个燃烧的黎明。帝皇点燃了一股金色的灵能之火，他将其引导到了网道的结构中，帝皇一头扎进了恶魔的队伍，无论他在哪里战斗，都会造成可怕的损失。疲惫的禁军被他们的主人鼓舞了，在他身边战斗。帝皇召集了一支由忠诚的帝国死者组成的军队，其中包括以燃烧的化身形式出现的费鲁斯·马努斯，与恶魔作战。德拉科很快就出现了，宣称自己是帝皇的终结。然而，人类之主将他封印到禁军拉·恩底弥翁身上，然后他被命令跑进网道的深处。

The Emperor's actions gave the surviving Imperials enough time to evacuate the Webway, and as Chaos forces closed on the portal once more the Master of Mankind mounted the Golden Throne and sealed the gate. The gate would remain closed to the daemons for as long as the Emperor was able to power it from His throne atop the golden portal. Only the mightiest of psykers had power enough to do this and even then most would be exhausted and die in a short time. Only the Emperor had the might to keep the gate closed permanently and for Him the effort got harder as the Daemonic forces gathered about Him. For as long as the daemonic horde threatened to breach the portal, the Golden Throne would be His prison. In the last stage of the Siege of Terra in 014.M31, such a breach became increasingly likely as Magnus used his powers to assail the gate. In a desparate gamble, the Emperor and Malcador temporarily opened the Webway Gate to allow Vulkan to enter it, while Custodes and Sisters of Silence held back the daemonic hordes. The operation succeeded, as Vulkan was able to traverse the Webway, eventually discovering Magnus in the ruins of Calastar. There, the two Primarchs battled for timeless eons, with Vulkan dying and reviving countless times before finally defeating and banishing his brother. Despite his terrible wounds and nearly-destroyed mind, Vulkan also managed to return to the Imperial Palace after the duel.

帝皇的行动给了幸存的帝国战士足够的时间撤离网道，随着混沌势力再次关闭门户，人类之主登上了黄金王座并封锁了大门。只要帝皇能够从金色大门上的宝座上为大门供能，大门就会对恶魔关闭。只有最强大的灵能者才有足够的力量做到这一点，即使如此，大多数人也会在短时间内筋疲力尽并死亡。只有帝皇有力量永久关闭大门，对他来说，随着恶魔的力量聚集在他周围，这一努力变得更加困难。只要恶魔部落威胁要攻破大门，黄金王座就会成为他的监狱。在014.M31的泰拉围城战的最后阶段，随着马格努斯利用他的力量攻击大门，这种突破的可能性越来越大。在一场绝望的赌博中，帝皇和马卡多暂时打开了网道门，让沃坎进入，而禁军和寂静修女则阻止了恶魔部落。这次行动成功了，因为沃坎能够穿越网道，最终在卡拉斯塔的废墟中发现了马格努斯。在那里，两位原体进行了永恒的斗争，沃坎死了无数次又复活了无数次，最终击败并驱逐了他的兄弟。尽管沃坎身受重伤，精神几近崩溃，但决斗后他还是设法回到了皇宫。

When the Emperor decided to confront Horus aboard the Vengeful Spirit, Malcador was left to maintain the Golden Throne and keep the portal closed in His place. After the injured body of the Emperor was brought back to the Golden Throne, the immense effort exerted by Malcador in keeping the portal shut had reduced him to mere dust. As the Emperor was placed back onto the Golden Throne, His body has allowed the portal to remain closed for the last 10,000 years. Should the Emperor die, the Imperial Palace would be breached and Terra itself would be overrun by Daemons.

当帝皇决定跳帮复仇之魂号与荷鲁斯对峙时，马卡多被留下来维护黄金王座，并保持门户关闭。在帝皇受伤的尸体被带回黄金王座后，马卡多为关闭大门所做的巨大努力使他化为尘土。当帝皇被放回黄金王座时，他的身体使门户在过去的10000年里一直保持关闭。如果帝皇死了，皇宫将被攻破，泰拉本身将被恶魔占领。
