The implication of the halo zones is that the rest of the universe is worse.
Why would OL consider the Halo Zones to pose any kind of threat or signal any problem with the wider Universe? My understanding is that the Halo Zones are simply regions where the light of the Astronomicon is dimmer than normal and travel using the Imperial methods is consequently far more dangerous.
I can understand that the existence of a region of space beyond the reach of the Emperor would seem like a dire sign of the horrible state of the universe to a devout worshipper of the Emperor, but it seems like there would be no real reason for this to be considered significant by a non-believer like OL or the Tau. This simply seems to indicate that rather than being an omnipotent entity with a reach that extends throughout existence the Emperor is just an extremely powerful entity whose psychic presence is vast but still finite and capable of being blocked. The Halo Zones seem like something they would consider an interesting an potentially exploitable phenomenon rather than some kind of problem.
He may think it's dangerous because there may be a lot of daemons there.
Seeing as the Imperials can't travel there the chance that daemons may exist in great numbers there, due to there being no imperials around to beat them, could be fairly high, so he doesn't want to risk it by going there.
It would make sense for them to be somewhat concerned over the presence of hostile civilizations influenced by Chaos but that seems like a very localized threat. I understand that the Imperial perspective is that any significant Alien Civilization always represents a dire threat and that any Human Civilization other than the Imperium are either corrupted beyond salvation by Chaos or are helpless savages that need to be converted, but this doesn't need to be the case. It would be perfectly possible for their to be reasonable Alien and Human Civilizations in the Halo Zones.
If anything I would assume that OL would be very interested in a region of space where Human Civilization can trace their origin directly back to its founding in the Age of Technology without having their culture erased or perverted by the Imperium. This seems like on of the few places where he could potentially find a Human Civilization that fits in with his moral code and isn't dominated by Alien powers.
That actually seems like it could be the start of a fantastic story. OL could spend his time traveling around to the isolated Human worlds beyond the reach of the Major powers of the setting trying to help them solve their problems and gradually rebuild Interstellar Civilization.
No, it's fine as it is.

Thank you, corrected.

There's nothing living left in the Halo.It would make sense for them to be somewhat concerned over the presence of hostile civilizations influenced by Chaos but that seems like a very localized threat. I understand that the Imperial perspective is that any significant Alien Civilization always represents a dire threat and that any Human Civilization other than the Imperium is either corrupted beyond salvation by Chaos or full of helpless savages that need to be saved, but this doesn't need to be the case. It would be perfectly possible for their to be reasonable Alien and Human Civilizations in the Halo Zones who have been spared from extermination by their isolation from the Imperium.

Siiiigh...I know. Never been a fan to be honest.
On the one hand, true. On the other hand, didn't the greeks have this whole thing that humans who did not worship the same gods (or their gods by a different name) literally were not people? As in they were equivalent to beasts and thus whatever you did to them was either fine, animal cruelty, or theft of animals at the worst?On the other hand Paul has broken guest to host Xenia, a lot.
And heroic deeds or no, that's one of the big no-no's for anyone so far as the Greak Gods are concerned.
That was both after the Romans conquered the Greek's, and after the Romans converted to early Christianity.On the one hand, true.

Something something morality of a bygone age?
Really? Because I recall several mentions of the Persian peoples (and the Nubians, I believe they were from modern day Ethiopia and Sudan) being equivalent to beasts from both before, during, and after the Persian Wars.That was both after the Romans conquered the Greek's, and after the Romans converted to early Christianity.
The Greek Hellenistic religion itself was very accepting of other religions.
What do you recall that from?Really? Because I recall several mentions of the Persian peoples (and the Nubians, I believe they were from modern day Ethiopia and Sudan) being equivalent to beasts from both before, during, and after the Persian Wars.
i know this is w40 but why assume that its hundered percent bad. there could be an interex like civilization out there. there is a difference between grim dark and grim derp.
I think you've answered your own question, there.i know this is w40 but why assume that its hundered percent bad.
True, but that statistics are rather against it.there could be an interex like civilization out there. there is a difference between grim dark and grim derp.
For some reason it doesn't appear to have occurred to the Justice League to try summoning demons during their fights with the Highborn.
Can't imagine why.
But now she's got a few successes under her belt that's not an issue."
That prompts a smile. "I don't think my current girlfriend would like that too much."
…
"But at least Carol and I are friends again. I missed talking to her."
"Ah, who's-?"
"I did to. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but from what the Guardians were saying it didn't sound like that was the case. Was Maltus ever uninhabited?"
Thank you, corrected.'I should'
