During the course of the Great Crusade all but two of the twenty primarchs were successfully found and united with the Space Marine Legions that had been created after their disappearances from the genetic material that they had left behind. Before the Emperor began His rise to power, He was also an anonymous Perpetual, a member of a mutant branch of Mankind gifted with effective immortality due to extremely rapid and efficient cellular regeneration. Sorry, I have not read it for myself, but most people cite less the Emperor proving he was right and more how one last priest on Terra defied him to the bitter end.
They needed to be removed to make way for their eventual successors, the primarchs and the Space Marines. The Emperor is the collective reincarnation of all the shamans of Neolithic Humanity's various peoples, the first Human psykers. To most people he is a godlike being, someone they can barely look at for more than a handful of moments. Following the Battle of Mount Ararat in the Kingdom of Urartu, which was said in some sources to be the last battle of the Unification Wars, the Unity of Old Earth was at last achieved after standard centuries of blood, loss and fire. There's no room left here for the greater being other books suggested might exist, or even the more sympathetic man briefly seen in The Outcast Dead.Land is portrayed as a man who is at odds with the very institution he is a part of, holding little reverence for anything, even the Emperor. This author has done similarly surprising things in the past only to be met with celebration for his work. The crusade would also subdue, destroy, or force into exile all intelligent alien races of the Milky Way. Then again, I love ornate language, and I thought the narrative made artistic use of picturesque prose.
Though the Emperor ultimately defeated Horus during the Traitor Legions' assault on Terra, He was all but slain in the battle after suffering a crippling loss of limbs and mortal systemic damage; only the life-supporting Golden Throne has sustained His living corpse in a kind of stasis, neither dead nor truly alive. The collector's edition hardback includes a full-art hardcover, a glossy dust jacket in the Horus Heresy series style, internal illustrations and an exclusive author afterword.Together, she, several other Perpetuals and the man who would one day become the Emperor travelled to the Knight World of Molech aboard a one-way voidcraft. There's nothing truly alien about it, little which seems unsettling, unreal or even otherworldly, and many of those there just react with a dulled "Oh, we're fighting here now" attitude. In each of these visions the Emperor tries to teach Ra a little bit more about why the Great Work is so important, as well as staying appraised of what's going on with the battles. The Emperor chose to sacrifice His immortal life at the end of the Horus Heresy in the service and protection of Mankind. We would not have Magnus using sorcery to contact him because there wouldn't have been the same level of trust from the Emperor to assume that Magnus wouldn't use sorcery (and even if that still happened, the Emperor wouldn't have the trust to assume that everything was still fine with Horus).
The Ten Thousand Custodian Guard, along with the Sisters of Silence and the Mechanicum forces of Fabricator-General Zagreus Kane, fight to control the nexus points of the ancient Eldar Webway that lie closest to Terra, infested by daemonic entities after Magnus the Red's intrusion. As the Emperor grew older His powers began to manifest themselves and become more potent and He gradually remembered His thousands of past lives, adding all of their knowledge and experience to His own. One more thing I'd like to point out is that if the Emperor didn't see the Primarchs as sons then the Horus Heresy wouldn't have happened, or if it did then it would not have happened anywhere close to the way it did. The decision to keep and deploy Angron looks stupid from a purely logical point of view, but then, there is no explanation why the Emperor would keep Angron around, unless it was out of paternal affection. As long as you make it clear that the Emperor in your project does not necessarily match the Emperor in recent canon, everything should be A-OK.We have already seen that, and when the novel does need to bring up such moments, it does so with more indirect reminders, such as the Emperor's decisions surrounding Angron. Really, there's an entire section of the book where they're examining Angron's body (while he's unconscious) and he decides he's going to just leave the Butcher's Nails in there to give him another warrior, and permit the War Hounds to have them so they'll be a more effective bloodthirsty force.
