==History==
There were multiple leading factors that lead to the end of the Age of Technology and the beginning of the Age of Strife: the first was the sudden appearance of [[psyker]]s on every human world. This was compounded by massive and persistent [[Warp]] storms erupting around the Sol System and other parts of the [[galaxy]]. In addition, records report that a great war with [[Iron Men|the machines]] began, with humanity battling vast robotic armies.{{Fn|5}}
Psykers had first appeared within humanity towards the end of the Age of the Technology. While persecuted as witches on many planets, on the most enlightened and progressive worlds, they were at first accepted and allowed to explore and develop their powers. As it happened, uncontrolled psykers proved to be a dangerous threat to [[human]]ity, and many worlds fell under hellish dominance, as the minds of these psykers became the gateways through which Warp entities were able to enter the material universe. Only worlds which had rigorously suppressed psykers survived this fate.
