In case there are readers unaware, after the Horus Heresy the Emperor was left catatonic and somewhat of a literal skeleton, so in order to keep his spiritual self alive within the Warp they sacrifice Psykers to him constantly.

Citizens are mostly kept in the dark about literally all of this.

Oh yeah? Source please?

I know a guy who knows a guy who used to know a guy who had once seen the reflection of a Custodes in a roomba metal casing... so pretty solid source. And that guy told me that the Emperor is just fine, drinking tea with Macaldor and his psyker friends. And also all the loyal Primarchs who are just fine and dandy.

So Mr. Aurelian here should shut his heretic mouth.

It feels like there should be a thinly-veiled environmentalist allegory.

Does some other faction just build mobile Dyson spheres to carry around limitless solar power?

I mean there's the Old Ones that makes dyson spheres and also eat stars but they got beaten by space robot ancient Egyptians

Hmm IIRC there's also space BDSM elves that captures stars and bring it into a pocket universe for energy. Said space BDSM elves managed to murderfuck borne a god of excess and perfection and tore a hole in realspace to literal hell made out of sentient beings' emotions.

Then some bloke recently make that hole bigger spanning half of the milky way.

It's a british thing. The emperor represents the royalty, sucking up the life of its subjects to keep a rotting corpse alive one more day

Warhammer doesn't do "thinly veiled allegory."

In the grim darkness of the grim dark grimness of the future, there is only war. Grim, dark war. War that sinisterly grims with darkness. One could say the grimness of the dark war against grim darkness is so grim it envelops the whole universe in darkness.

And in this grim dark war in the grim dark future the dark evil of chaos emerges out of the grimness of the void, threatening to plunge the Empire into a darkness so grim, it will shake even the most resolute true faithful adherent of the Emperor.

Only the grim, unshakeable soldiers of the empire stand against the darkness of chaos, bolstered by the Emperors light against the grim dark grimness of the grim dark darkness of the grim dark forces of chaos...
