At the end of the Horus Heresy, the Emperor's shattered form was interred within the cybernetic mechanisms of the Golden Throne so that His mind could still have a physical anchor in the material universe while it extended throughout the Warp, eventually encompassing nearly the entire territory of the Imperium of Man. When Horus and the Luna Wolves personally arrived on the moon of the world of Davin to put down a rebellion against Imperial authority led by the former Planetary Governor Eugen Temba, Erebus made sure that the Anathame ended up in Temba's hands where he could use it to wound Horus.

After this humiliation, Lorgar, on the advice of his First Captain Kor Phaeron and the Word Bearers' First Chaplain Erebus, both already corrupted by Chaos, decided to undertake a pilgrimage to discover if the gods worshipped by the ancient Old Faith of Colchis were real and worthy of the Word Bearers' faith and allegiance. Between the present day and around 30,000 history is mostly a series of question marks. And some argue that it would be unlike Horus to have killed Sanguinius.

The final days of the Horus Heresy saw many deeds both foul and heroic. The sacrifice of the Custodian bought the Emperor the time He needed to deliver a finishing blow to Horus. More and more often during the progress of the Imperial conquest of the galaxy, the Imperial Army and Space Marines would make planetfall only to find that the populace were in thrall to mysterious powers and unnatural mystics called "sorcerers.".

Bell of Lost Souls℗ is a registered trademark of With this victory, the planet and population of Terra were at last unified under the single rule of the Emperor. But the Emperor's decision to not tell His sons why He had retired to Terra as well as His decision to begin shifting the Imperium's government out of the direct control of the Primarchs on the War Council and to the Terran nobility and bureaucrats whom they detested sowed the seeds of discord among the Primarchs. The reach of the Astronomican is said to be around 70,000 light years, which by default becomes the maximum radius of Astronomican-assisted Warp-navigable space. Following the Battle of Mount Ararat in the Kingdom of Urartu, which was the last battle of the Unification Wars, the Unity of Old Earth was at last achieved after decades of blood, loss and fire. In a final confrontation on the bridge of his downed Imperial warship, Horus slew the vile Nurglite, but not before the Anathame bit deep into his flesh and delivered a toxin personally created by the Plague Lord, a poison so powerful that not even the Primarch's enhanced, superhuman immune system could successfully fight it off. Should the Emperor die, then the Astronomican will become useless, and Humanity will no longer be able to safely travel through the Warp using its current technology (although this may be disputed by the fact that Humanity travelled the stars before the Emperor sat upon the Golden Throne, during the Dark Age of Technology).

The Emperor is the collective reincarnation of all the shamans of Neolithic Humanity's various peoples, the first Human psykers. A hidden group within the Imperium that call themselves the Illuminati know of the existence of the Emperor's scions, and are also aware that the Emperor is failing as his life slowly gutters out despite the creaking ministrations of the Golden Throne.

There are arguments against, such as the Emperors apparent disdain for the other races created by the Old Ones and His (seeming) ignorance of the Necrons and (initially) the Webway but I guess you can argue around those of you like the theory.
