The War for Hallost: The Booming Scar

April 2020·pp. 34–37

THE SHORT VERSION

The campaign’s second region is dominated by greenskin warlords, the Beastmaw route to Ghur and the terrible soul-fed Stalagog released from a Stormvault. Competing gods and armies seek Hallost’s resources as the continent slides towards the Shyish Nadir, giving the canyon and its ruined fortress strategic and supernatural importance.

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.

The Tome Celestial: Vokmortian’s Tithe Legion

Vokmortian’s relentless collection of bone underpins the Ossiarch empire and its expansion across Hallost. His contracts, layered legends and campaigns show both the administrative cruelty of the bone-tithe and the force behind it, including a costly confrontation with the Tarkan ogors and plans to exploit the Beastmaw Realmgate.
