The End Times and Storm of Chaos (SoC) Timeline

This all started from my Storm of Chaos (SoC) timeline project, which itself started originally around the time WFRP2

was published (2005). Games Workshop had published Storm of Chaos WFB Campaign year before. Any detailed

timeline/dates were never given about the event later, so I started building something up. But I didn't finish it back when

the WFRP2 came out. Years later, I started again to gather all the information about the event in a single timeline. Then

in 2014, during the time Games Workshop was publishing WFB 8th edition books, started The End Times WFB

Campaign. This timeline revised, or rebooted, the entire SoC event. And not just SoC, The End Times are really burning

the world down. As it started to advance the history from 2522 point forward (to the bitter end), I started to build new

timeline for The End Times.

Problematic is to place events in the actual dates, or even months and how they happen side by side with other events.

Now that SoC event has been erased, it's hard to say which events did occur from that campaign and which did not. I'm

trying to collect everything and place them as best I can. And also consult the original SoC events and characters.

Then some things that should be mentioned and various other ideas:

If The End Times WFB book and the novel does not go hand to hand, then I try to adjust the events more with

the stuff in novel.

The capture of future Everqueen of High Elves Princes Aliathra, by Mannfred von Carstein, is one of the difficult

events. WFB 8th: Vampire Counts very much gives idea that the event happens maybe late fall, yet other

sources say it happens early 2522. Either way, the time of the capture to the time when rescuers reach

Nagashizzar is also troublesome. This is because Mannfred should get back home to Sylvania also in time to

cast the darkness and do other evil things. So, that doesn't give much time for the rescuers to hear about the

capture, find where Aliathra is kept and actually reach for her. In fact, this probably happens little too fast, but I

have managed to give them couple of months for this effort.

If the capture and rescue of future Everqueen was fast-paced, then the other events related to Elves are like

extra slow. It seems to take forever for the rescuers to go back Ulthuan, plan a new rescue attempt and then

send that group back to the Empire (not to mention the time to get there). But, my timeline is loyal with

information what is in the books. Elves are not the only ones. It takes pretty long for the Liche Arkhan and

Mannfred von Carstein to finish their crusades before the coming of Nagash.

Sigmar's Heirs (WFRP2) names Kasmir XI as one of the Arch Lector's (he should be Arch Lector of Nuln) and

Thorgrad IV as another (Talabheim). Also SoC event makes Johann Esmer III as the next Grand Theogonist.

But The Enemy Within (WFRP3) and The End Times (WFB) names Kaslain as the Nuln's Arch Lector. And

Sigmar's Blood (novel) names Aglim as second Arch Lector. Also Volkmar the Grim is lost now during his attack

against the Sylvania in 2522 and after that Kaslain becomes the next Grand Theogonist. Because Sigmar's

Heirs info is not fully correct anymore (as the events of The End Times change alot of things), I'll have to make

some adjustements, based on what happens.

The Enemy Within (WFRP3) gives idea that it happens two years after the death of Elector Count Marius

Leitdorf in Black Fire Pass. So, the year would be 2522. When original SoC events were still part of the timeline

all the background events indicated that the campaing happens during the year 2521, when Warlord Surtha

Lenk leads his vanguard invasion against the Empire (year before actual SoC event). But, in The End Times

timeline it is possible that it happens 2522. I'm tryin to connect these events to the events of Sigmar's Blood

WFB Campaign (and novel) and also to events found in The End Times sourcebooks. To fit the Spring Driving

campaign to this new timeline, it must be pushed little later date that it fits better Volkmar the Grim's crusade to

the Sylvania AND also to events in The End Times sourcebooks that describe the first attack of the northmen.

The End Times sourcebooks have huge number of Daemonic Incursion, especially in the year 2522, which is

the year of Storm of Chaos. I place most of these events to Geheimnistag, which is very logical starting point,

because the borders of between reality and the Realm of Chaos are then thinnest. Small rifts become large and

large rifts become immense and so on...

Warhammer Fantasy Battle Dwarfs 8th Edition changed the Dwarfen years. Two different years are now given

and used in this document. First one is the original timeline given in Dwarfs: Stone and Steel (WFRP1

sourcebook) and second from the WFB book.



NOTE! This document features huge amount of spoilers from various stories and sourcebooks! Also, you

should check your GM first, if you play Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, that should you read any further.

SECOND NOTE! Timeline is based on the products found below, but it is very much unofficial and my vision

how things are moving. Idea is to make more accurate timeline to serve all the fans.

Following sources have been used and should be credited (they are also mentioned in the entries):

The End Times Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) sourcebooks: Volume I: Nagash, Volume II: Glottkin, Volume

III: Khaine

The End Times novels: The Return of Nagash, The Fall of Altdorf, The Curse of Khaine

Prequel to The End Times: Sigmar's Blood WFB Campaign and novel

Various Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) sourcebooks have provided more or less details. Main ones are

probably Lizardmen, Dwarfs, High Elves,The Empire, Warriors of Chaos, Vampire Counts...

Also I use some knowledge found from the original SoC (old) sourcebooks and background information:

Darkness Rising (WFB) and Storm of Chaos: Defenders of the Empire (WFB).

I have used various other novels/stories (some not linked directly to The End Times), like:

o Gotrek & Felix: Orcslayer, Manslayer, Elfslayer, Shamanslayer, Zombieslayer, Kinslayer

o Swords of the Emperor: Sword of Justice, Sword of Vengeance

WFRP sourcebooks (many WFRP2 sourcebooks mention the event, because they are dated post-SoC). The

problem in many of these sources is that some of the information has changed since the reboot of SoC event. I

have still tried to connect as much as I can. Example: I use various original SoC events and connect them to the

Chaos Invasion in 2522, which still is the year of Storm of Chaos.

The Enemy Within (WFRP3) provides interesting details about the war-year, which would be 2522 now.

Then there are even some WFRP fan-sources that I have used and have been in my timeline.

Finally - Special thanks to Dave Graffam (and any help he might had) for creating Calenders of the Empire.

Calender(s) have provided much help, when doing this project. He created four different sets of calenders,

based on the various years. Note! Calender used in The Enemy Within (WFRP3) campaign and the WFB 8th:

The Empire -books is actually Series I: For years ending in 00, 04, 08, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32...etc.



Maps

There are couple of special "walls" (magical walls) that should be mapped here with explanations. These are the walls

covering Sylvania (including the unnatural darkness covering it's sky) - The Wall of Fate and the Wall of Bones; and then

the Auric Bastion roughly placed in the border area of the Empire and Kislev. Maps are parts taken from the Super Huge

Detailed Map of Warhammer World by Gitmans Gallery.

Sylvania Map of Sylvania is compination of maps found from the The Return of Nagash (novel), The End Times: Nagash - Book I

(WFB), The End Times: Glottkin - Book I (WFB) and the map found from the Sigmar's Blood (novel). In Sigmar's Blood

the area of darkness (Mannfred von Carsteins Sylvania) is much smaller, than in other books. In Sigmar's Blood it

doesn't include the Bylorhof Marsh, central Stirland, Siegfriedhof or the northern forested region known as

Hundsheimerwald where River Stir curves next to Gersdorf, Krugenheim and Bissendorf. My map is kind of compromise

from all these maps.

Bone Wall, the (Magical Wall; White-yellow line bordering Sylvania). There is no official name given to the

magical wall of bones summoned by Mannfred von Carstein using very difficult ritual (ritual where the blood of

very special individuals is needed) - So, I call it The Bone Wall. It is magical wall, that appreared from nowhere

(or from Aethyr) and protects the borders of Sylvania now. It is possible that the wall can regenerate itself and it

is probably hard to scale (no details really given). Yet, it is magnificient (and horrifying) creation. I would imagine

that the ritual is similar to Father W'soran's Architect found from the Night's Dark Masters (WFRP2 sourcebook).

In that ritual caster determines the internal layout of the magical tower summoned by the ritual. In the Bone Wall

ritual Mannfred had created series of deep grooves to the floor. They were inlaid with a rich gold and then the

holy blood of the victims was flowed to these channels. This shape was the shape of area that was protected by

the wall.

Castle Sternieste (Ruined Castle). I used the Sigmar's Blood map to place the castle. If you see the map in

the Night's Dark Masters (WFRP2 sourcebook), page 89, you can find a "ruin" where Castle Sternieste should

be. Town of Sternieste is actually located much more northern, next to the water known as Svarsee, and the

there is also a castle there... On the other hand - If you see the Sigmar's Blood map you can see, that the

Svarsee lake is now named as Helsee, which should be really located in the middle of the Sylvania based on

the Night's Dark Masters map.

Darkness covering Sylvania (Magical Veil). Another difficult ritual that summoned darkness that covers the

entire realm.



Heldenhame (Fortress & Town). Grandest fortress of Talabecland, next to a bustling city. This is troublesome,

a new place, even it should be old place. Well, the Empire has room to place locations like this one, but the

Grandest fortress of Talabecland?! Is this mistake? I mean, the fortress-town is situated in the official maps

south from River Stir, on the area which should be pretty much Stirland. And next to a bustling city - in

backwoods of the Empire? I don't think so... I placed the fortress next to River Melk, which runs to River Stir.

You can either ignore the Talabecland info, OR we can decide that the mostly forested area north of the River

Melk, named Hundsheimerwald, is actually part of Talabecland. Offcourse Siegfriedhof is still part of Stirland as

is also Marburg. In the map I place Heldenhame next to Zipf, maybe that is little larger town then (not city, but

still good-size town).

Nine Daemons & Glen of Sorrows (Unholy Site). I placed this stone circle pretty central Sylvania. It is located

near the lake known as Helsee - well, it is that in the Night's Dark Masters (WFRP2 sourcebook) map. Site is

also close to the settlement of Gerhof and the Grim Moors.

Red Cairn (Unholy Site). One of the new places found from the Sigmar's Blood map.

Wall of Fate, the (Magical Wall; White-yellow line bordering Sylvania). The Wall of Fate uses the power of

all the holy symbols in the area, drawing the power of symbols fate into a barrier of fate. If any Undead

creatures (from mighty Vampire to lowly Zombie) tries to cross it, creature is instantly obliterated in a explosion.

The Undead can enter Sylvania through the wall, but cannot return after this. Perfect and powerful trap, known

also as Gelt's Wall. Gelt didn't actually have the knowledge for this ritual, but he was manipulated by the forces

of Chaos to gain access to the ritual and knowledge to perform it. In my map I considere the wall to be about the

same place as the Bone Wall, or at the edge of the darkness covering Sylvania.

Auric Bastion - The Empire and Kislev border The location of Auric Bastion is in The End Times: Glottkin - Book II (WFB) map. It seems to run with the Empire and

Kislev border, which actually is not a direct line from the city of Erengrad to all the way to Castle Rackspire in the World

Edge Mountains. But that is not really important. Campaing has number of new places situated in the border area. I'm

not adding all of them, only the most important ones.



Alderfen (Village). Settlement that plays important role in the The End Times: Nagash - Book I (WFB). Is

situated about the other end of the Helreach. In The End Times: Glottkin - Book II (WFB) map it is situated

about middle of Bechafen and Castle von rauken. But this location just doesn't work with other information

found from the books. Mentioned also in the Kinslayer (novel).

Auric Bastion (Magical Wall; White-blue line bordering the Empire and Kislev).

Badenhof (Town). Imperial town famous for it's hot baths. Mentioned in the Kinslayer (novel).

Castle Rackspire (Fortress). Powerful fortress situtated in the Worlds Edge Mountains, near Badenhof and

Kislev border. In Gitzmans map I expanded the World Edge Mountains little closer to the Badenhof.

Castle Skarlan (Fortress). Fortress where Elector Count Aldebrand Ludenhof oversees his section of the

border. This is probably after the dead of Elector Count Wolfram Hertwig, because it is situated pretty east and

Elector Count Ludenhof was originally guarding the middle section of the wall. Castle is located about three

days ride from Alderfen.

Castle von Rauken (Fortress). Family fortress of Elector Count Valmir von Raukov. Used as the gathering

point and home of the Emperor and the commanders of the army. Location of the castle is based on the maps

found from the Warhammer Fantasy Battle 8th Edition: Slaughter at Volganof (WFB) and from The End Times:

Glottkin - Book II (WFB).

Gastmaar (Town). Another town missing in the map, that I just wanted to add. No role in the campaign.

Heffengen (Town). Location of this town varies from the map from Sigmar's Heirs (WFRP2 sourcebook) to The

Thousand Thrones (WFRP2 campaign) map. I use the TTT-map. It places the settlement on the side of the river

roughly halfway from Remer to Eisental. This location is also logically connected to the Alderfen location in my

map.

Helreach (part of Auric Bastion). Section of Auric Bastion. This should be about 20 leagues (about 70 miles)

span. It very much seems it is close (or starting) from the Castle Rackspire and it includes also village of

Alderfen (which again doesn't suit the map from the The End Times: Glottkin - Book II).

Kurzycko (Village). Kislev Village fortified by Imperial forces. Stands between Auric Bastion and the Trzy

Siostry. Mentioned in the Kinslayer (novel).

Trzy Siostry - Wilhelmshgel (Standing Stones & Imperial Fortifications). Standing Stones on a hill. Trzy

Siostry (Three Sisters) is used by Imperial Magisters to keep the Auric Bastion up, otherwise Imperial forces

occupy this are guarding the Bastion. Imperial forces call this place Wilhelmshgel. Mentioned in the Kinslayer

(novel).



Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Campaings

Here are some ideas/notes for a various WFRP campains.

Paths of the Damned (WFRP2) Date: c.2522, just after original Storm of Chaos event.

Starting adventure is Through the Drakwald (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Edition Core Rulebook). This is

based on the battles fought in Grimminhagen against the Beastmen horde of Khazrak One-eye during the SoC.

This can still happen, because many Beastmen herdes rise during the Storm of Chaos in 2522 and also there is

large northmen invasion. Just ignore any attacks against Middenheim or anything that mentiones Archaon's

invasion. I have actually added these events to this timeline also. I had to push the events few months further

than in original SoC, so they will happen nicely same time as Wolfenburg invasion.

Ashes of Middenheim. Basicly all the changes needed is the Middenheim itself. It has not been under siege and

therefore not damaged by the forces of Chaos. Otherwise fighting in the north (the Empire - Kislev border) is still

on and many important rulers and most of the armed forces are there. If you start this adventure just after the

Through the Drakwald (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Edition Core Rulebook) then it is dated to happen at

Nachgeheim (7th) in this timeline.

Rest of the campaign can be played more or less as it is. Any veterans of the war could have served in the

Siege of Wolfenburg.

Remember that the years 2522 is when the Storm of Chaos hits the world. This means that the world is full of

Chaos incursions and strange (and terrifying) events. The Winds of Magic flow wildly.

Terror in Talabheim (WFRP2) Date: c.2522-2523, after original Storm of Chaos event.

This campaign can easily be set for any age, but the detail about the city is mostly post-SoC.

During The End Times the Skaven forces are probably all gathered to the southern Old World, but this is not

really a problem. As Skaven openly start their attack against the southern states of the Old World (namely

Estalia and Tilea) some of them may also attack the Empire. As there are other invasions going on, this

invasion can happen easily in Talabheim.



The Thousand Thrones (WFRP2) Date: c.2523, maybe a year from original Storm of Chaos event.

Campaign has great connections to the rise of Nagash and The End Times, as it features the Vampire

Prophecies. Also child Karl, the possible Chosen of Sigmar, works even better because world doesn't know

about Valten yet in The End Times timeline. Valten is still travelling the lands of the Empire and is unknown

person. Even he has done few deeds, his legend starts 2524 at the Battle of Alderfen.

Just ignore any Archaon's and Crom's invasion details and the Siege of Middenheim. Also remember, if the

presence of Grand Theogonist is needed, that Kaslain is the Grand Theogonist as Volkmar the Grim is lost in

the Sylvania in previous (2522) year (and also that Johann Esmer has not risen as Grand Theogonist - altough

for some reason he still might be banished to Marienburg).

Wolfenburg is still on ruins after the invasion of Surtha Lenk in 2522 (as also is the rest of the northern Empire).

If you play The Thousand Thrones -campaign in circa 2523, and the Chapter VII: Death Do Us Part takes

characters to Sylvania, then remember two new elements that must be faced: The Darkness over Sylvania and

the Bone Wall covering the borders. The wall must be scaled or perhaps the brothers of Siegfriedhof will provide

some magical means to go through the Bone Wall. Siegfriedhof should still hold their position against any

undead attacks, even they are now trapped inside the darkness and the Bone Wall. It is holy place, so maybe

some protection from Morr helps them (sun still shines on this location?). After Geheimnistag of 2524, when

Nagash returns and binds the Wind of Death (Shyish) to flow through Sylvania, most of the brothers probably

become mad for this impact. That is probably also the end of Siegfriedhof.



If you play The Thousand Thrones -campaign in circa 2523, then the Chapter VIII: The Black Witch takes

characters to Kislev and other side of the Auric Bastion. I have left open the exact time, when the Auric Wall is

risen - It probably happens during the year 2523 and takes some time to cover the entire borderline. It is

possible that characters go around the wall (from Erengrad) or the wall is created sometime after they enter the

Crags of Shargun.

The Enemy Within (WFRP3) Date: c.2522

Nothing really needs to be changed. The main events connected to the war in the north, can be found from this

timeline. The Surtha Lenk's invasion fits well in The End Times timeline (in original SoC timeline Surtha Lenk's

invasion happened in 2521, which is ignored here). Just ignore Volkmar the Grim, who is lost in the Sylvania

early in the year 2522. Also Emperor Karl Franz wounding fits pretty well to the events.

Events - Warhammer World:

The World: Storm of Chaos sweeps across the world, spreading outwards from the poles to roll across the

lands of men and other than men one by one. Daemons are born and die in moments, or tore their way through

the membrance of the world to sow terror for days or weeks on end. Blood fell as rain, seething and searing

whenever it touches living flesh. The skies and fields balze with multicoloured fire, the clouds and stars twist into

leering faces to witness the destruction. Proud cities that had stood for hundreds of years collaps into foetid

squalor, as the water they rely turn black and noxious. Everywhere, mortals are overcome by selfish desires

and wanton impulses, throwing themselves into the most obscene and blasphemous of acts. In every city of

every land, seers, madmen and prophets speak of The End Times. The Return of Nagash (novel), The End

Times: Nagash - Book I (WFB)

The World: With every orbit since the coming of the comet, dark Morrslieb had drawn closer to the world. Now,

beneath the moon's leering face, the firmament began to writhe. From the ground rose monoliths. Some are

black splinters of long-ago meteors now pulled to the surface by the moon's sickly green glow. Others were

ancient idols, toppled and overgrown or else cast down into ruin by other powers. Some of these are: To

Drakwald (a monolith so immense it towered over the tallest structures built by man), the malformed pillars that

grew in the Arden Forest oozed, monument of living flame arose out of the glacial fields of Naggaroth, the

dreaded Six Spikes herdstones once again stood tall in the Great Forest, a number of contaminated sites rose

in Athel Loren. Then, from out of the dark woods, came the Beastmen. The End Times: Nagash - Book I (WFB)

brewing. Lone and scattered tribes feel compelled to seek out and join others of their kind. Huge Greenskin

hordes are created. From the deepest wilderness come nomadic savage Greenskins. The gathering of

Greenskins increases exponentially the Waaagh! energy, which is crackling. Not all the Greenskin shamans can

harness this surge and while others are imbued with extraordinary powerful magics, others are overloaded

(which causes deadly effects). Greenskins flock under the command of powerful, like Grimgor Ironhide,

Skarsnik the Warlord of the Eight Peaks, and the prophet Wurrzarg. The End Times: Nagash - Book I (WFB)

The Council of State & The Emperor's Other Advisors and Close Personel

The day-to-day demands of governance are too much for one man or woman to keep track of. Dozens of decisions

each day demand the Emperor's attention, from policy on grain taxes to the final appeal of a prisoner condemned for

treason to officially opneing the Grand Altdorf Fair. To prioritise this mess and make sure that only those with the

most urgent business get an audience with the Emperor himself, successive emperors appointed members of

prominent families to advise them on matters of law, finance, diplomacy, and military matters, among others. Over

time, this group of advisors grew into a formal body, the Council of State, the membership of which almost always

includes the current Grand Theogonist.

The Twin-Tailed Comet appears in the bright night sky. Especially in the Altdorf thousands of people throng the streets,

driven to hysteria by the rumours and the comet. Grand Theogonist Volkmar appears daily on the steps of the temple of

Sigmar in Altdorf. There are many rumours about the war in the north. Streets are full of doomsayers, flagellants,

curates, students, scholars, fishwives, pickpockets, preachers, riots...etc. There are also rumours about the Champion of

Light, who would arise to face the possible Everchosen of Chaos or the return of their ancestral warrior-god. The skies

also blaze with multicoloured fire, which all those with witchsight sense as the powerful flow of the Winds of Magic and

power of Chaos flowing from the poles. Darkness Rising: The Sign of Sigmar, Darkness Rising: Wizard's

Correspondence, Storm of Chaos: Defenders of the Empire (WFB)

F

Luthor Huss, a self-styled prophet of Sigmar, has started to challenge the hierarchy of the church of Sigmar. Huss claims

that the priests had become corrupt and decadent, ignoring the teachings of Grand Theogonist Volkmar the Grim and

abandoning Sigmar's mission. He makes many enemies, these including Johann Esmer. His arguments started from the

Sigmarite Council in Altdorf, after Arch Lector Kurt Mannfeld of Nuln disappeared during his crusade against the north in

2515. Even then Grand Theogonist Volkmar the Grim was absent from the the council spending more and more time in

the high pinnacle at the top of the Temple of Sigmar. Malign rumours circulated in the council and doubt Volkmar's sanity

because of the many hours he has spent reading unholy grimoires to find answere to the dark menace gathering in the

far north. The Empire 6th & 8th Edition: Luthor Huss (WFB)

The Twin-Tailed Comet

The twin-tailed comet mentioned in the Darkness Rising and The End Times: Nagash - Book I (WFB) books is seen

as important event. Some believe it heralds the destruction, others the hope in the form of Sigmar Reborn. Saga of

Sigmar itself mentiones that comet heralded the coming of Sigmar Heldenhammer when the lands were overrun

with darkness. Yet, many also remember the fate of the dark city of Mordheim, destroyed by a twin-tailed comet.

Also comet was sighted during the Great War Against Chaos.

The honoured Heironymous of Nuln also states: "Every time that the wings of fire have appeared in the sky, they

have heralded the coming of great things."

That is for sure, that Volkmar the Grim believed that the twin-tailed comet was sign from the Sigmar to him. That

Volkmar would be the Champion of Light (Herald of Sigmar) and must face Archaon. But truth is not really said

anywhere. So, I'm tryin to build some ideas here:

Comet could also be warning that The End Times have started. Lizardmen see it as warning sign and start

the Exodus.

This date is the 18th birthday of Valten - and some sort of coming of age. Valten that is the exalted of

Sigmar and will be the true Champion of Light (Herald of Sigmar). Maybe this marks that Valten is ready.

It could be that during the Spring Driving Archaon consults his Chaos Sorcerers from all the Dark Gods and

makes an unholy ritual. Maybe comet could be warning from the Gods, that Archaon has left behind, that

they are ready for his (and his Dark Gods) challenge.

For the actual date I use the date when Moon(s) are full. Just to bring little more mysticism to the event.



Valten is a son of Lachenbad's blacksmith with strange birthmark on his chest, shaped like the twin-tailed comet of

sigmar. In the eve of Valten's eighteenth birthday came from the depths of the Reikwald the beastmen horde leaded by

powerful brute named Rargarth. Valten refused to run. Taking up two hammers from his father's forge he set about the

horde like a hurricane with cries for anger and vengeance. The panicking vallagers saw this, and were heartened by his

incredible display of bravery. They gathered their swords, pitchforks and scythes, and ran to join the blacksmith's son.

Following the boy, they cut through the warband until Valten stood before Rargarth himself, and shattered the brute's

skull with one mighty hammer blow. With their leader dead, the beastmen fled, and the exultant villagers chanted

Valten's name. Soon after these events and spurred by a feeling he could not explain, Valten left Lachenbad behind and

travelled north to find his destiny. The End Times: Nagash - Book II (WFB), Storm of Chaos: Defenders of the Empire

Thorgrim's throng arrives to help the Elves. In the end it is Dwarf steel that turns the tide. Mannfred hacks his way

through the Elven ranks, wounding or slaying many of their heroes and once again captures Aliathra, spiriting her away

into the darkness. After the battle Tyrion shows no gratitude to the Dwarfs, instead blaming them for the loss of Aliathra

and making many insults. Many Dwarfs grow wrathful, but Throgrim holds still. In the days after, Thorgrim's counsellors

minds. Disease appear and in the Altdorf Sisters of Shallya woefully declare the blight immune to their prayers. Thinking

that the outbreak is an artifice of evil men, rather than the will of cruel Gods. In response to the sicknesses of mind and

body, unscrupulous merchants amassed fortunes in gold crowns, selling tinctures and elixirs that would proof one

against the stigmata of Chaos. Cure-peddlers are not the only ones to profit from the doom-laden times. Doomsayers
