Index Astartes: Emperor's Champion
Terra and the Emperor
In M32, this is the political side of the War of the Beast: the High Lords and Vangorich in books 1–3 → The Last Wall and Terra’s crisis (4–6) → Koorland’s authority, Vulkan and the founding of the Deathwatch (7–9) → conflict with the Ecclesiarchy (10–11) → Vangorich’s coup (12). Read all twelve novels in series order; the military events between political episodes are not skipped. In The Beheading, the coup is in 546.M32 and the later resolution is about a century afterward. Stories in other millennia are not immediate continuations of this war.
