Over a century of peace has made the Cthonian Hegemony fat with resources exploited from the galactic core during the dark 41st Millennia. Content to remain hidden away from the greater galaxy despite the nearby worlds of the Imperium of Mans' plea for aid, it is becoming apparent that should the Imperium fall, the next likely target of the Tyranids would be Kin.  This story follows Khesdrem Bittermail a Kin (Squat) Boneweaver (Medic)  as his Hold is pulled into the nearby conflict of the Imperium of Man that up to this point was clueless as to the presence of the Kin inside the great tempest of the galactic core. Will be exploring possibilities of HOW and WHY the Kin (Space Dwarves) would intervene and rejoin the Imperium during the age of the Indomitus Crusade, through the eyes of a veteran medic.  Will feature Dwarves as technologically advanced such as their recent codex with a placement just below Tau but FAR above the Imperium in terms of tech and societal advancements.
