Dear Grombrindal, I remember reading that the technology that sustains the Golden Throne is beginning to fail. What happens if it actually does? Will the Emperor die or – as some people think – be reborn?

GROMBRINDAL SAYS
A question right at the heart of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, eh, young sir? Well, of course you are right – the same is mentioned on page 47 of the Dark Millennium book, along with some very unpleasant side effects.
The Golden Throne serves as a life support device of incomparable power, sustaining the Emperor for 10,000 years. Without it, he would surely die, the Astronomican would fail (ending ‘safe’ Warp travel) and the Daemons itching to invade realspace would be unchecked. In short, young sir – it would be the end of the galaxy as we know it.
