Black Walkers

From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Black Walkers are a sect of mysterious priests who honour and worship dead gods.[1a][1b]

Overview

Members of the cult can be found walking the streets of Glymmsforge usually ringing funerary bells, singing dirges, and chanting the names of long-dead deities that can no longer listen. They adorn themselves with robes and heavy hoods made of dark sackcloth, obscuring their features, which bear strange sigils drawn on by chalk. They also wear heavy chains even as they walk the streets of Glymmsforge.[1a][1b]

Relationships

The Azyrites of Glymmsforge detest these mysterious priests, whereas native Shyishans are often wary of them.[1a]

Legends

It is said that the ghosts of dead gods linger in their ruined temples and it is these gods that the Black Walkers venerate, often in secret places.[1a]
