Men of Gold
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Gold Men)
The Men of Gold are a mysterious sub-sect of Humanity.[1]
According to ancient sources, the Men of Gold appeared sometime during the Age of Terra, joining the Emperor as he watched and nurtured humanity. To watch and learn from Mankind, the Golden Race spread across the face of Old Earth, multiplying and establishing Order and Civilization on the anarchy of Nature. Though physically and emotionally superior, the Golden Race eventually created the Men of Stone for the purpose of colonizing the Galaxy.[2] In time, the Men of Stone supplanted the Men of Gold and by M21 their influence had waned.[1] It is ultimately unknown what happened to the Men of Gold.
