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

In the midst of the ruins of Armageddon lies a quiet space shrouded in ghostly mist—the Wraith's Grave. It is a resting place where the souls of fallen Astartes and Guardsmen linger. The air hums with sorrow, and the spirits whisper stories of battles long lost and victories forgotten. Players may meditate here to gain insights or seek temporary blessings. Occasionally, the spirits may impart crucial information about hidden enemies or weaknesses, offering the players advantage in upcoming confrontations. Players must pay their respects by offering Imperial Marks to the shrine to receive these blessings. Players performing the correct tribute and successfully communing may be granted a Cipher of Truth as a reward, which is tied to the ancient sacrifices made in battle. The grave also grants an opportunity for a rare encounter with a Legion Ghost, offering hints about the Crimson Forge or Obsidian Reliquary.

Appearance

A serene clearing amidst crumbling ruins, shrouded in ghostly mist, with an ancient stone shrine adorned with flickering candles and faded emblems, surrounded by ethereal figures that drift silently under a brooding sky.
