Set before the fall of Cadia, the players must defend key Imperial worlds.


Author's Note: Premade characters start at Cadia Gate, generated start in Necromunda. The premade players are agents of the Inquisition/Deathwatch, tasked with eliminating Chaos threats spreading from the Eye of Terror in The Shattered Imperium universe. Set before the fall of Cadia, the players must defend key Imperial worlds, confront dangerous secrets, and navigate moral dilemmas. They will travel to both well-known and obscure Warhammer 40K locations, uncovering forgotten relics, hidden Warp rifts, and the rise of a secret Tzeentch cult. Chaos corruption will test their sanity and faith, while powerful allies like the Deathwatch guide them through the Imperium’s darkest days.

Description

The Iron Citadel is a towering monolith of metal and despair, serving as the fortress capital of the Iron Warriors under the command of Perturabo. Spiked towers loom over labyrinthine corridors filled with enslaved laborers and servitors, while the clanging of forge hammers resounds day and night. This area serves as the administrative and strategic heart of Medrengard, where players can witness both the grandeur and the horror of Chaos. Players experience navigating dangerous political landscapes where every interaction carries the potential for betrayal or unexpected alliances. Players must carefully manage their dialogue, showing loyalty or feigning allegiance to gain vital information. The emphasis is on tension—conversations with key figures, infiltrating meeting chambers, and avoiding death at the hands of suspicious Iron Warriors.
