Synopsis
Arkanaut Admiral Hengtsson leads his crew into vast subterranean caverns beneath the city of Hammerhal Ghyra in search of a lost temple and a hidden treasure. His warship blasts its way into a great spherical chamber cloaked in untamed vegetation and finds a mysterious and apparently unguarded temple. [1]
However when he retrieves a seed like artefact that radiates powerful magic it awakens the plant like guardian that quickly overwhelms the admiral and his crew, even transforming his warship, the Daammerung into a garden. As he dies he is informed that only the faithful may look upon the secrets of the Jade Temple and live, by order of Sigmar himself. [1]
