Вот пруфы из "The Outcast Dead", мне лениво переводить отрывки

, самые значимые места просто выделю. Поехали:
The cataclysm unleashed by the arrival of the Crimson King and the breaking of the mighty wards around the golden gateway in the dungeons spread through the mountains like the blast wave of an atomic detonation.
A tsunami of psychic force thundered upwards fr om the bowels of the palace in a raging torrent that touched every mind on the surface of the globe.
The gilded towers of the palace shook with the force of it, and priceless, irreplaceable statuary toppled fr om plinths as the shockwave trembled the very rock of the mountains. The madness, fear and panic that hung over the palace roared back to life like a resurgent wave of pestilence.
Mobs of lunatics bearing cudgels and brickbats laid siege to columned palaces and clashed with other mobs for no reason any one person could adequately explain. Blood flowed on the marble paved thoroughfares and golden processionals, madness stalked the illuminated galleries and insanity held court all across the roof of the world.
Yet as quickly as it began, the insanity of their actions became clear to the mobs, and they guiltily slunk fr om sight to lick their wounds, nurse newly-acquired grievances or shut themselves away fr om revenge attacks. Within minutes of the psychic shockwave, it had passed fr om the high summits of the palace and spread across the globe like the fiery advance of a plague.
Those on the dark side of the world suffered nightmares the like of which had not been seen since the bleakest watches of Old Night. Genetic memory of that horrific time of madness surged to the fore of sleepers around the world, bringing dreams of blood drenched metropolises, planetary exterminations and species slavery.
Entire cities of Terra awoke screaming and millions died by their own hand as their minds fragmented in the face of such psychic assault. Others awoke with their minds altered in fundamental ways that rendered them into entirely new individuals. Fathers, wives and children forgot one another as mental pathways were erased or rewritten in vulgar ways that wiped entire families fr om existence.
In places where the barrier between the material realm and the warp was already thin, manifestations of dreams and nightmares stalked the landscape. Black-furred wolves with burning lights for eyes descended from the mountains to devastate entire communities, and no weapon could slay them. Entire populations vanished as their towns and burgs were swallowed whole by catastrophic overspills of warp energy, leaving nothing but eerily empty buildings in their aftermath.
All over the globe, the people of Terra suffered for Magnus’s hubris, but nowhere felt the shockwave of his return more powerfully than the City of Sight.
Вот последствия сообщения Магнуса - психическая буря, какую не видели со времён Old Night, поглотившая планету, миллионы убитых и массовые беспорядки на всей Терре. Подчёркивается, что всё из-за гордыни и высокомерия одного дурака. Едем дальше:
Such a feat spoke of powerful sorcery, and it boded ill for the Imperium if Magnus had
unlocked that forbidden door. As he had told Kai, there could only be one punishment for such blatant disregard for the Emperor’s decree.
The Bleed roared and seethed like an atmospheric superstorm, raging with the distilled nightmares and collected visions of thousands of traumatised astro-telepaths.
Hundreds had been killed in the psychic shockwave that still echoed in the planet’s aether, and hundreds more would never regain full use of their abilities. At any time that would have been a calamity, but in the midst of a full-scale civil war, it was nothing less than catastrophic. The City of Sight was effectively blinded, an irony not lost on Gregoras, but which Lord Dorn found less than amusing.
Здесь уже идёт речь о том, что кое-кто полез туда куда лазать было запрещено, плюс о практически полном уничтожении сотен астропатов и ещё больше их стало просто бесполезными, т.е. возможность передавать сообщения стала совсем никакой, и это во время гражданской войны. Ну и ещё:
The Emperor has pronounced judgement on the Thousand Sons and its Primarch,’ says Saturnalia. ‘Even now, my fellow Custodians draw near Prospero in the company of Russ and his warriors.
Primarch Magnus is to be brought to Terra in chains.’
‘Why?’ asks Nagasena.
‘
For breaking the edicts of Nikaea and employing sorceries forbidden by the Emperor himself,’ says Saturnalia. ‘Valdor himself has unsheathed his blade.
Кто-то продолжает ещё верить в
девочку-колокольчик из города Динь-Динь наивного и невиноватого Магнуса

? Да и приказ Императора здесь также ясно виден - ни о каком убийстве речи нет - привести на Терру в цепях. А если учесть, что из-за рыжего Император был вынужден ВСЕ СЕМЬ ЛЕТ неприрывно находиться на Терре и практически отстраниться от подавления мятежа, предоставив всё Дорну и Малкадору, то Магнус причинил Империуму вред больше, чем Гор и прочие Лоргары вместе взятые. Если уж нытик Коракс сокрушался, что упустил шанс завалить ОДНОВРЕМЕННО Лоргара и Кёрза, то Император, участвуй он лично в управлении войсками и боях, разогнал бы эту банду мятежного сброда пинками
