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 its life-giving support of the Emperor's long dead body and freeing his soul to be reborn anew.

According to the [[Horus Heresy Series]], the Terminus Decree concerns the anti-astartes phage developed by the mad scientist [[Basilio Fo]]. The information was gathered by [[Malcador the Sigillite]] and telepathically passed onto his [[Malcador's Chosen|Chosen]], [[Khalid Hassan]].{{Fn|3}}
