Changes

With the embrace of Chaos, comes mutation. Despite avoiding such a fate for the duration of the Heresy itself, once the Thousand Sons had retreated back to the Planet of Sorcerors within the Eye of Terror members of the legion began to suffer the flesh-change; horrendous physical mutations, their bodies and minds twisted in ways only Chaos can achieve. Although some dedicated Tzeentch worshippers saw these changes as a sign of their god’s favour, those of higher understanding knew better, and decided that the Thousand Sons' search for enlightenment and knowledge could not end in the dreaded transformations they would inevitably suffer. Ahriman, once [[Chief Librarian]] of the Legion, and second only to Magnus in power, united a conclave of his most trusted [[sorcerers]], and together they cast a spell, known as the [[Rubric of Ahriman]], of tremendous magnitude that would save the legion from the fate of mutation. The results were not what Ahriman expected...but he was satisfied with them none the less. The Thousand Sons were now safe from the taint of chaos, but at a terrible price. Those untouched by the flesh change had their psychic powers greatly strengthened, but those who had already mutated had their physical bodies reduced to dust and their animate spirits damned to live inside their armour forever. Most of the legion were therfore changed into [[Rubric Marines]]; little more than mindless automatons. When Magnus heard about the terrible failure, he banished Ahriman and his group from the Planet of the Sorcerers, and now they wander through the Eye of Terror and beyond, still pursuing magical knowledge and seeking arcane artefacts. Ahriman’s current goal is to enter the [[Black Library of Chaos|Black Library]] of the Eldar, and rumour has it that if he succeeds in his quest, his power will grow beyond imagination.^1a
