Blackcliffe was a fortress maintained by the Free City of Hammerhal.[1a]

History

Age of Sigmar

The fortress suffered a brutal massacre orchestrated by Dalvia, a Sanguinarch in service of Neferata, and her minion Lord Helvir, whose Blood Knights devastated the Freeguilders of the fortress. After the massacre many of the soldiers were rounded up to be crucified along the fortress walls and others were raised as Deadwalkers, to attack any sent to investigate.[1a]

Several days after the massacre a force of Goldjackets did arrive to investigate, and though they survived the attack by the Deadwalkers the experience shook them and the stories they told spread fear among the ranks, and eventually the entirety of the city. The fall of Blackcliffe served to only exasperate unease that had been building over the Time of Tribulations.[1a]
