There was an increasing concern as the Great Crusade progressed forth considering the use of Sorcery. More and more often the [[Imperial Army]] and [[Space Marines]] would make planet fall only to find the populace thralls to [[Ruinous Powers|mysterious powers]]. These people were essentially slave cults who would resist the forces of the Emperor with sorcerous powers granted them by [[daemonic]] beings from across the [[Warp]]. Powers that were very akin to those used by the Thousand Sons of Magnus.
[[Mortarion]] who knew by his own personal experience the dangers of the warp, and [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]] for whom any battle fought through sleight of hand and clever deceit was by definition dishonorabledishonourable, highly criticized the Thousand Sons. The schism grew so great that it threatened the very stability of the fledgling Empire and so the [[Emperor]] himself decreed a council to resolve the issue once and for all.
