Lightning Gheist

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

Lightning Gheists, also spelled Lightning-gheists, are the rage-filled manifestations of those souls that have resisted the process of Reforging, becoming dangerous and volatile spirits made of Azyrite energy.[1][2a][3a]

Creation

The Reforging process necessary for the creation of Stormcast Eternals is a traumatizing experience for any soul that goes through it. The process can often result in the death of the soul or worse still, can cause the confused and enraged soul to break free of the Anvil of Apotheosis and become a Lightning Gheists.[1][3a]

Containment

When they manifest the Sacrosanct guards of the Chamber of the Broken World will do everything within their ability to contain them, as they are a danger to the Sigmarabulum, Azyrheim, and beyond. [1][2a]

If contained these wayward souls can sometimes be once more placed into the Anvil of Apotheosis and reforged. But others can only be destroyed, or else placed in the statues that line the Avenue of Saints. Those Stormcast who can not be reforged have their names etched upon the Spire of the Lost, the vast obelisk commemorating all those Stormcast who have suffered final death.[2a][3b]
