The Daemon's Descent is a campaign unleashed by the forces of the mad High Lord Goge Vandire during the so-called Age of Apostasy sometime in early M36. The valiant Ashen Drakes Space Marine Chapter answered the call-to-arms to defend the various beleaguered systems near the warp rift known as the Storm of the Emperor's Wrath, and though they make heroic sacrifices on behalf of innocent Imperial citizens, they are still held in suspicion by many of their fellow Adeptus Astartes.
History[]
With the Storm of the Emperor's Wrath tearing reality asunder around the fleet of Vandire's sycophants, daemons are unleashed on the nearby sectors. During the better part of a century, and under three leaders (Augusto Navarre, To'shir Al-Ramut and Men'tor Bal-Gel), the Ashen Drakes fights to repel the invaders from the Immaterium and protect the citizens of the Imperium. Several Chaos cult springing into the nearby region stretch thin the forces of the Chapter, but the Battle-Brothers, with some help from mysterious grey-clad Astartes, managed to suppress them. This long war leave the Ashen Drakes depleted, proud but also tarnish their honour, for many in the wider Imperium suspect that the Storm opening near the Chapter's homeworld of Inikar is the result of the Cursed Chapter's presence.
