On this episode we finalize out coverage of the greatest human sorcerer (outside of the primarchs, emperor, and malcador) Ahriman. On today's episode Ahriman arrives in the warp and is extra pissed off. From there embarks on the (at this point) most powerful spell ever performed, goes on the run, changes his mind and gives chase to his pursuers, only to finally uplift himself as the most powerful member of the Thousand Sons, after Magnus. From there he has some fun manipulating time, getting revenge on the space wolves, banging his head repeatedly on the door of the black library, until he decides to set his sights on a new objective....

On this episode we cover where the vast majority of the citizens of the Imperium live. In fact probably close to 90% of them live in Hive Cities. Are they good places to live? no, in fact might be the worst. Crime? yep. Daemons? yep. Roving bands of raiders and marauders under your feet? also yep. Not to mention corruption, disease, industrial accidents, and corpse starch. So hop in for a fun trip to an imperial hive city.

On this episode we cover where citizens of the Imperium can live. yeah most of them are not great. Unless you are in the nobility class, in which case most are awesome. Do you want to live on a planet of munitions? Planet of food growth? How about a Forge World or a Knight World. Personally we would pass on sentinel or Fortress Words, but you do you. * Also sorry for the lozenges, but it was that or blow everyone's ears out with violent coughing*

On this episode we cover every imperial citizen's greatest fear: the inquisition. How each branch is structured and how they interact with each other (*spoiler alert not all that well*). We then dive into the lives of an inquisitor, their retinues, how they move through imperial space. We then talk about how an inquisitor achieves their job and the endless dangers from all sides. Lastly we spend time discussing whether the inquisition are the "good guys" or the "bad guys" in the imperium.

On today's cast me move away from regimented canon to more "rumor" lore, with our coverage of the Rogue Traders. We cover what a Rogue Trader is, how they become one, and how they function within the imperium (they are very critical).

On this episode we conclude (for now) our coverage of Abaddon the Despoiler. We cover Abaddon from the 1st black crusade through the conclusion of the 13th. do we cover all of the crusades? No because some of them were lame. Do we find a way to talk about Orks? You have to ask? Come join us as we round out the coverage of Abaddon the Despoiler (*spoiler alert* Cadia does not stand) *** It has been brought to our attention that we incorrectly referred to Abaddon "the Destroyer" when it should have been the "Despoiler." Rather than use AI to correct the error and re-upload we have decided to just own our mistake and let the listeners hear us be wrong, and own it. Sorry our bad on that***
