Following signs from his god, Khorne in the bodies and entrials of those he has slain, Ahazian Kel, deathbringer is moving through the Black Grasses, a steppe in the Realm of Aqshy when he is ambushed by riders of the Horse-Lords of the Caldera. He fights his way through and locates the Road of Blades - a magical causeway created from the weapons of the fallen defenders of the city of Caldera leading to the ruins of that city.[1]
On the road he encounters other champions of the blood god - also called to the city and the road to the Soulmaw by different Forgemasters before he finally reaches the forge of Volundr of Hesphut who tells him of the Eight Lamentations, weapons that he will seek out and perhaps wield in Khorne's name.[1]
Quotes
| To see if you are worthy of the quest. Do you think yourself one of the Godchosen, then, Ahazian Kel? Are you one of the eight champions destined to wield the Lamentations in Khorne’s name, in the final bloodletting, when the stars themselves are snuffed out?
~Volundr of Hesphut to Ahazian.[1] |
