Everything below is for the omnissiah. But like, you can read it if you want. Just a synopsis of the video you're watching. 

The history of the Thousand Sons, a legion deeply entwined with mysticism, treachery, and tragedy during the Warhammer 40K universe, is rich and complex.

The Great Crusade saw the Thousand Sons spread across the galaxy, with Magnus the Red discovered by the Emperor on the planet of Prospero. The legion was known for their psychic prowess and their scholarly pursuit of forbidden knowledge, which set the stage for their future calamities. The discovery of Magnus was pivotal, as he embraced his role as Primarch with zeal, pushing the boundaries of the Warp despite the risks.

During this period, the Flesh Change began to afflict the legion. This mutation threatened their survival, turning many into mindless, warped creatures. This genetic instability was a curse that Magnus sought to cure through sorcery and forbidden knowledge, leading to increased tensions with the Imperium.

The Council of Nikaea, a pivotal event, was a response to growing concerns over the use of psychic powers. The council decreed a prohibition on the practice of sorcery, which directly impacted the Thousand Sons, who were among the most potent psykers. Magnus vowed to comply, but secretly continued his studies.

This defiance led to the Burning of Prospero, an attack orchestrated by the Space Wolves under orders from the Emperor, who believed Magnus had betrayed Mankind. The planet Prospero was devastated, marking a turning point for the legion towards Chaos.

During the Siege of Terra, Magnus and the Thousand Sons sided with Horus, seeking vengeance against the Emperor for the perceived betrayals and the destruction of their home.

Post-Heresy, the Rubric of Ahriman was cast. Intended to save his brothers from the Flesh Change by removing their physical bodies and binding their souls into their armor, the spell instead resulted in the creation of the Rubric Marines, soul-bound automatons led by the few remaining sorcerers of the legion.

The Second Rubric, attempted by Ahriman years later, aimed to restore his brothers but ended in failure and further complexities involving the shards of Magnus, aspects of the Primarch's soul scattered across realities and dimensions, each embodying different facets of his being.

The Thousand Sons found refuge on the Planet of Sorcerers within the Eye of Terror, a realm gifted to them by Tzeentch, their patron Chaos God. Here, the legion thrives, devoted to their sorcerous ways and the plots of their Changer of Ways.

Magnus himself, now a Daemon Prince, continues to play a significant role in the events of the galaxy, straddling the line between brilliant leader and pawn of his patron god, his every action a blend of his own tragic hubris and the intricate schemes of Tzeentch.

These elements underscore a saga of betrayal, transformation, and eternal quest for knowledge, marking the Thousand Sons as one of the most dramatically rich legions in the Warhammer 40K lore.
