== Overview ==
The existence of this artifact is known only to the [[Grey Knights Supreme Grand Master]] and no record of it can be found in any library in the material realm.{{Cite ThisFn|1}}
Such is the power of the '''Terminus Decree''' that it is to be opened only in humanity's darkest hour, when all hope for the race is lost. What happens once the box is opened and the decree is spoken by the Supreme Grand Master is infinitely dangerous and will either save mankind from certain defeat or doom it to oblivion for all eternity. In this capacity it is the ultimate sanction of the Grey Knights, to be used only as a last resort, when all other options have failed.{{Cite ThisFn|1}}
Due to the formation of the [[Great Rift]], [[Kaldor Draigo]] and the other [[Grey Knights Grand Master]]s are now considering the Terminus Decree.{{Fn|2}}
Still others believe that once read aloud by the Supreme Grand Master, it will perform its rite and bring to a halt the ancient and arcane machinations of the [[Golden Throne]], ceasing their living-giving support of the Emperor's long dead body and freeing his soul to be reborn anew. (This is the most "likely" theory as it is said that the golden seal which rests upon the box containing the decree is one of a matched pair, its partner found only in one place: on the Golden Throne itself).{{Fn|1}}
==Canon Conflict==
The 5th Edition Codex{{Fn|1}} states that only the Supreme Grand Master is aware of the decree's existence, which would preclude the non-Supreme Grand Masters of the order discussing it{{Fn|2}}.
