Worlds of Warhammer: The Age of Myth

November 2020·pp. 10–13

THE SHORT VERSION

Phil Kelly sets out a deliberately broad chronology for the Mortal Realms, explaining why exact dates are often less useful than shared eras. The timeline follows the awakening and alliances of gods, the capture of Slaanesh, emerging peoples and the cracks in Sigmar’s pantheon that eventually open the way to the Age of Chaos.

Argovon Campaign: Death on Hishrea

Hishrea’s cold oceans, nomadic hunting fleets and punishing climate shape an Imperial campaign led by General Tansk. The costly Nurtheos landings eventually destroy the Necron dolmen gates, but the arrival of overwhelming tomb fleets forces withdrawal, leaving the official judgement of the commander at odds with evidence of her skill and the troops she saved.

Argovon Campaign: The Apocalypse of Foronika

Foronika’s valuable blackstone makes a hostile, irradiated world strategically indispensable. Major General Valdu’s troops endure shifting fronts, appalling losses and uneasy coordination with the Adeptus Mechanicus, while official histories and surviving rosters reveal a campaign increasingly sustained by merged remnants and penal formations rather than a clean advance towards victory.
