Kingdom of the Sorcerers
The Kingdom of the Sorcerers is a region of[1] Ultima Segmentum,[2b] that is controlled by the Thousand Sons' Daemon Primarch Magnus.[1]
History
It was originally known as the New Kingdom and was initially formed within the Prospero System. As the Galaxy saw an increase in Human Psykers and Mutants in M42, Magnus sought to make the Kingdom a home for them, where they were safe from the Imperium's deadly persecution. In this promised land, a new path for Humanity would be forged, that was free from Imperial dogma and would flourish under Magnus' leadership[2b]. Sortiarius, the recently transported Planet of Sorcerers, greatly aided in creating the Kingdom, as its mere presence had changed Realspace within the Prospero System. Astral light coalesces around it and Sortiarius now gives off a psychic call, that draws in millions of Humans who can hear it[2c]. Once they arrive, they then try to gain entrance to Tizca, the City of Light, which serves as the Kingdom's capital. Those that are successful, must prove themselves worthy to be at Magnus' side and can use Tizca's libraries to master their psychic abilities[2d]. The ruins of Prospero are also a significant part of the Kingdom, as Magnus and the Thousand Sons have begun building upon its surface. Not to return the world to its former glory, that was lost in the Horus Heresy, but as an anvil, designed to hammer out the tools of war.[2a]
A strike force of the Sisters of Silence have recently completed a shocking raid deep within the Kingdom. Their target was a cabal of powerful Thousand Sons Sorcerers, who were conducting a Chaos ritual on a shattered world that was broken by infernal magicks. The Sisters' launched their killing blow at a the crucial moment, which disrupted the ritual and prevented the Sorcerers from placing a curse of misfortune upon the Sol System. Had the cabal been successful, this curse could have eventually poisoned the System's sun, Sol.[1]
