968.M41. Cadia stands fast against foul xenos incursions, heretical uprisings, and unimaginable horrors spewing from the Eye of Terror. It is a martial life for the Shock Troopers of the 1333rd Cadian Regiment, seconded to their homeworld's Interior Guard for the last six years. Yet, for Staff Sergeant Silas Cross, affectionately known as 'Marsh Silas,' this complacent, monotonous service will change. Soon, Marsh will find himself embarking on a long journey, one that will take him not only across Cadia's sacred soil but that of the Imperium's realm, fraught with peril, obstacles, self-discovery, thought, doubt, faith, love, loss, despair, comradeship, darkness, and hope. A soldier through and through, Marsh Silas will find his mind, his fortitude, and his faith challenged as he struggles to leave a little good in the Imperium he serves and to enfranchise the people he loves so dearly Information: Marsh Silas is a Warhammer: 40,000 fanfiction series that directly engages with the innate darkness of the 41st millennium and will proceed into the current, canonical timeline. Themes include humanism, self-betterment, brotherhood, and unity of purpose. It is primarily an action-adventure story, imbued with military drama, the sci-fi elements of 40K, and incorporates elements of mystery, horror, and romance. As the series expands, there will be multiple perspective characters, including non-human ones, and eventually expand into other, spin-off series. Upload Schedule: 1 chapter will be uploaded on Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays. The series is divided into multiple 'volumes,' which consist of 'Main Series' volumes and 'Supplementary' volumes, which expand on characters and group dynamics. Currently, there are 2 completed main series volumes and 1 completed supplementary volume.
