==History==
[[Belisarius Cawl]] discovered that Amontep II contained the material known as [[Blackstone]], sometime after the [[Great Rift]]'s creation. After the discovery, Cawl ordered the [[Magos Dominus]] [[Dentrex Ologostion]] to begin excavating {{PAGENAME}}Amontep II's surface to uncover the Blackstone, but several [[Obelisk]]s were unearthed during the process. Soon afterwards Amontep II was revealed to have been built upon a [[Necron Tomb World]], when hordes of the [[Xenos]] emerged to attack Ologostion's [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] forces.{{Fn|1}} What begins as an isolated conflictbetween the Adeptus Mechanicus and theNecrons on the quarry world of AmontepII becomes a galaxy-wide war. Across theplanets of both the Adeptus Mechanicusand the [[Knight]]s, Necron presence issuddenly and startlingly revealed. Themountains of Auros IV rumble withtectonic tremors as Necron tombs awakenbeneath the surface of [[House Vulker]]’sfiefdoms. On [[Voltoris]], the recently healedHigh King [[Tybalt]] recalls swathes of hishouse’s Knights from the [[Eastern Fringe]], jeopardising their chances of winning anongoing war against the [[Tau Empire]] tocounter an emergent Necron threat uponTerryn’s home world. Dozens of forgeworlds issue calls for reinforcement fromtheir satellite Knight worlds as Necrontombs stir to life beneath their foundations,yet the Noble houses are equally beset.Many believe that the Necron awakeninghas accelerated as a response to the comingof the [[Great Rift]], but whatever the truthof the matter, well over half of all theImperium’s forge and Knight worlds arenow besieged by the ancient race.{{Fn|2}}
What began as an isolated conflict between the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Necrons on the quarry world of Amontep II became a galaxy-wide war. Across the planets of both the Adeptus Mechanicus and the [[Knight]]s, Necron presence was suddenly and startlingly revealed. The mountains of Auros IV rumbled with tectonic tremors as Necron tombs awakened beneath the surface of [[House Vulker]]’s fiefdoms. On [[Voltoris]], the recently healed High King [[Tybalt]] recalled swathes of his house’s Knights from the [[Eastern Fringe]], jeopardising their chances of winning an ongoing war against the [[Tau Empire]] to counter an emergent Necron threat upon Terryn’s home world. Dozens of forge worlds issued calls for reinforcement from their satellite Knight worlds as Necron tombs stirred to life beneath their foundations, yet the Noble houses were equally beset. Many believe that the Necron awakening has accelerated as a response to the coming of the [[Great Rift]], but whatever the truth of the matter, well over half of all the Imperium’s forge and Knight worlds are now besieged by the ancient race.{{Fn|2}}
