The Golden Throne Eats 1,000 Souls a Day — and It's Not Keeping the Emperor Alive

Every day, somewhere in the Imperium of Man, a ship the color of a coffin arrives in orbit over a human world. It is called a Black Ship, and it has come to collect a tithe — not of grain, not of gold, but of people. Specifically, the psykers: the men, women, and children born with a spark of the warp in their minds. Most of them will never see another sunrise. Because at the heart of the Imperium, beneath the Imperial Palace on Terra, sits the Golden Throne — and the Golden Throne is hungry. Every single day, it consumes roughly a thousand psykers. Not a thousand a year. Not a thousand a generation. A thousand a day. Their souls are fed into the oldest machine in the galaxy and burned to ash to keep one man on his chair. Ten thousand years of this. Do the arithmetic no one in the Imperium dares to do out loud, and you are looking at the largest sustained act of human sacrifice in the history of the species — billions of minds, fed into a furnace, to keep the Emperor alive. Except a thousand souls a day is not the cost of keeping a man alive. It is the cost of keeping something contained. And that changes what the Throne actually is.
