24 April 2011: [Message from astropaths of the Imperial Navy at the Cadian Gate to Duke Zeller, ruler of Planet Uradel]
Noble Duke, we have troubling news. The Planet Scelus has been suddenly enveloped by a Warp Storm, and many units of Space Marines and Imperial Guard are now trapped on its surface. The Uradeln 21st Regiment is among those trapped. Your cousin, Colonel Sir Zeller, is trapped there along with his regiment.
It is speculated that the Traitor Sons of Malice are responsible. Knowing that they were sure to lose the planet, their sorcerers had been summoning great numbers of Warp Spawn, and yet still the forces of the Imperium were on the verge of triumph. They must have had a cabal of sorcerers with prodigious powers to have pulled this off, however, we remain optimistic that the forces of the Emperor will yet triumph and that the storms will abate, though we have no way of knowing when the latter will occur. These storms can last for any amount of time, ranging from weeks to centuries.
For now, we must trust in the Emperor, for the Imperium's normal methods of travel and communication with Planet Scelus are now impossible. The Warp surrounding this region has become too chaotic for a starship to safely travel through or for an astropath to send or receive a telepathic message through the psychic "interference."
The Emperor Protects!
[End Transmission]
