Question

This event occurred in the aftermath of a global nuclear war, whose survivors were the first to discover the mega-theorem known as the Eightfold Word. The instigator of this event, who realized their abilities when two corpses they called Ulysses and Titania failed to decay, worked on cryogenic preservation in a lab outside Greytown, New Zealand. This event birthed nightmarish immortal revenants that the (-5[1])Emperor and his Saints fought against from their base 40 billion light years away at the Mithraeum. (*) John Gaius created his companion Alecto during this event, in which the Sun was remade into a source of thanergy known as Dominicus and the planets were remade into the Nine Houses. For 10 points, give this event that lends its name to nine numbered “Beasts” fought by people like Harrow of the Ninth House. ■END■ (0[5])
