The '''Terminus Decree''' is an ancient scripture or instruction written on a simple piece of parchment and locked away within the [[Chamber of Purity]] on [[Titan (Moon)|Titan]], making it a sacred relic to the [[Grey Knights]] [[Chapter]].
== 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.{{Fn|1}}
Some believe that it will summon forth some ancient and terrible force to battle and defeat the enemies of mankind. Others think it will purge the [[warp]] of the [[Chaos Gods]] and their minions, and bring about a new age for mankind, free of their daemonic influence.
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 livinglife-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}} It is possible that Kaldor Draigo chose to reveal its existence to the Grand Masters after he considered activating it.
