Warhammer: Starting as a Planetary Governor

After regaining control of the sub-hives, Eden immediately deployed the Adeptus Mechanicus to establish a psychic network across the reclaimed territories.

Simultaneously, Bayev worked tirelessly to organize the sub-hives' governance, integrating them into the spire's newly restructured administrative system.

The Imperial Cult also reestablished its branches within the sub-hives.

With the psychic network operational, communication became swift and efficient.

The synchronization between the sub-hives and the central hive led to restored order and productivity.

The transformation marked a new beginning for Urth under Eden's rule.

October 8 – The Day of Reclamation

The citizens of Urth wore bright smiles as joy filled the air.

The hive city was adorned with celebratory banners, and speakers resounded with anthems praising Urth.

This day was forever named the Day of Reclamation, a yearly celebration of Urth's return to stability and prosperity.

On this day, citizens were freed from work and worries. They were provided with free, delicious food and only asked to offer gratitude and blessings to their benevolent Governor, Eden Grant.

Statues of the Governor erected across the city were thronged with worshippers.

Tears streamed down the faces of many as they gazed upon his likeness, offering silent prayers of gratitude to the savior who ended their suffering and lit the path forward for Urth.

The psychic network greatly amplified Eden's influence.

His presence extended over the central hive and the three sub-hives, strengthening his control and allowing him to wield divine powers.

The statues absorbed the collective faith, emitting faint energy that uplifted the spirits of all who approached. This deepened the citizens' reverence for their Governor.

Holy Square, Spire District

A grand ceremony was underway, flags fluttering high as citizens from all strata of society gathered to celebrate Urth's reclamation.

From the balcony of the spire, Eden looked down upon the joyous scene with satisfaction.

"I truly enjoy such harmonious and festive occasions," he murmured.

In this oppressive world, celebrations were vital to release stress. Without such outlets, mental strain could push people toward corruption and chaos worship.

This grand celebration was designed to heal the collective psyche and prevent the seeds of corruption from taking root.

When the ceremony began, Eden stepped onto a mechanized platform in his golden armor. A massive holographic projection of him, nearly 100 meters tall, was broadcast live to all corners of the hive city.

Addressing the gathered crowd, Eden began his speech:

"Citizens of Urth, I am your Governor, Eden Grant!"

Thunderous cheers erupted.

"Long live the Governor!"

"For the Governor!"

Eden stood calmly, basking in the adoration of nearly ten million citizens. The waves of hope they generated were immense, bolstering his strength significantly.

After a pause, he raised his hand, and silence fell.

Eden continued:

"These past years, we endured unimaginable suffering, and countless lives were lost.

Yet, we never gave up. We rose to fight back!

In this difficult war to reclaim Urth, many brave warriors gave their lives…"

Eden gestured toward the monument near the statue of the Emperor. The stone bore the names of the fallen warriors.

A solemn silence spread through the crowd as they mourned the lost heroes.

"Let us forever remember their sacrifice. Their courage and dedication forged this victory.

They are the heroes of Urth!"

Eden then pointed to a formation in the crowd:

"And there they are, our heroes of today."

The camera focused on a group led by Arye and Carter, comprised of decorated warriors who had distinguished themselves in battle.

Many bore injuries, some missing limbs, their uniforms adorned with medals of honor.

"All who fought to defend Urth are our heroes!"

The crowd erupted in applause, their eyes filled with admiration.

The warriors stood straighter, their pride evident.

Arye wiped a tear from his eye.

"Damn it, why is the Governor suddenly praising us?"

"Careful! This is live," Kaes whispered, though his own eyes glistened.

The group was overwhelmed by the Governor's recognition, their emotions spilling over.

For these warriors, the Governor's care and gratitude meant everything. Many had been forgotten underhive refugees, struggling to survive.

Under Eden's rule, they found purpose, food, and improved lives for their families.

Eden shifted his gaze back to the crowd, praising the citizens for their resilience and outlining plans for the future.

He concluded with a smile:

"Now, the suffering is behind us…

Today, we celebrate the reclamation of Urth together. This is a day for all of us.

And you will see an even brighter future ahead.

May Urth forever shine!"

As his speech ended, Holy Square turned into a sea of jubilation. Across Urth, millions of citizens smiled with genuine hope for the future.

Unbeknownst to them, far away in the sector capital of Matira, tax-collection ships had already departed, bound for Urth...
