Skyward: The Teller of Tales

April 2020·pp. 60–61

THE SHORT VERSION

A sanctioned fortune-teller under arrest hears the sounds around him merge into an irresistible song. Despite warnings against looking at the Great Rift, he turns skyward; the psychic call becomes a scream, and a daemonic birth turns one ordinary prisoner transfer into another disaster in Imperium Nihilus.

Worlds of Warhammer: Forty Facts About the Far Future

Phil Kelly collects unusual fragments of 41st Millennium lore, ranging from time-travelling Orks and the Kraken’s Egg of Fenris to Aeldari traditions and the Ynnari’s missing swords. The selection emphasises the setting’s mysteries, contradictions and scale rather than providing a single continuous history.
