Master of the Hunt

November 2009·p. 102

THE SHORT VERSION

Kor’sarro holds a White Scars office devoted to enemies who have escaped the Chapter. Each hunt ends only when its quarry is found and beheaded, even if other duties interrupt the pursuit. The returning trophy receives a ritual transformation before joining those lining the fortress approach. The background connects the captain’s distinctive model to a wider culture of vengeance and remembrance.

Mark writes as an increasingly alarmed Imperial scribe hearing rats outside his study. Jeremy Vetock’s new Skaven book becomes a forbidden scholarly account that confirms the rumours. References to Middle-earth and distant armoured heroes offer brief diversions from the threat. The playful introduction makes Imperial denial part of the issue’s launch theme.
