  • Apocalypse: Armageddon Wars

    Steeped in history there is a world that lay’s just inside the borders of Segmentum Solar. This world with all of its industrial might and men at arms has been brought to the brink of destruction. The brink destruction not happened once, nor did it only happen twice. This had happened to one of the most vital worlds in the Imperium thrice. Though one of these wars would be expunged from history by those who had carved out, what only could be called victory, as if only measure of that victory was the singular qualification of being the last men standing? These are the seminal moments of these three devastation wars tolad by eye witness accounts and hololith records. Look and take not, learn what can be learned and banish your mind’s eye from your impenetrable soul. For is any beyond these walls bear witness to secrets mumbled from your lips, they who forever walk n shadow will see be knocking at the door to your life’s blood. Hail his name the Master of Humanity
