Following the end of the [[The First Poxwar|First Poxwar]], the Imperium in Eternum slowly began to recover and reinforce the surviving worlds. This would continue for the next few millenia, and though occasionally raids originating from the [[The Bubonic Rift|Bubonic Rift]] would emerge, the sector was able to prosper and heavily reinforce the regions bordering [[Putrilocus]]. This peace would not last however, and unbeknownst to the Imperium, the Rotbelchers and their collection of cultists, traitors, zombies, and heretic marines had been building and preparing for the push aimed to finally topple Eternum. Almost in unison, plague strains long since seeded on Imperial worlds in Eternum erupted leading to swarms of Poxwalker outbreaks, tying up local Imperial forces. Disaffected menials who pledged their soul to Nurgle's daemons started riots in critical manufactorums, while whole regiments of Guardsmen disappeared to join the building traitor armada. The Second Poxwar would soon begin. | |||
