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 Grand Cathedral is awe-inspiring, with colossal statues of the Emperor and stained glass that tells stories of His triumphs. The nave stretches endlessly, and priests in crimson robes guide pilgrims through rites. Redemptionists keep watch, ready to eliminate any perceived heretic, ensuring purity within the hive. Rules: -Characters visiting the Cathedral may be tasked by an Inquisitor to locate heretical influences among the clergy or followers. -Persuasion is key to earning trust, while displays of heresy or irreverence could result in swift punishment. -Successfully aiding the church can grant players access to relics or secure them favor for future endeavors, whereas failure can lead to public humiliation or forced penance.

Appearance

A vast cavernous hall filled with shafts of light streaming through intricate stained glass windows, casting colorful patterns on marble floors, surrounded by towering statues of the Emperor, with robed figures moving solemnly amongst the pews, and an air of palpable tension as Redemptionists patrol the shadows.
