The birth of Barghast gods rang like a hammer on the

anvil of the pantheon. Primordial in their aspect, these

ascended spirits emerged from the Hold of the Beast, that

most ancient of realms from the long-lost Elder Deck.

Possessors of secrets and mysteries born in the bestial

shadow of humanity, theirs was a power wreathed in

antiquity.

Indeed, the other gods must have felt the tremor of

their rising, rearing their heads in alarm and consternation.

One of their own, after all, had just been abandoned in

the mortal realm, whilst a First Hero assumed the

warrior mantle in his place. More, the Fallen One had

returned to the game in dire malice, corrupting the

warrens to announce his deadly desire for vengeance

and, it must be said in clear-eyed retrospect, domination.

Burn’s sleep was fevered. Human civilization

floundered in countless lands, drowning in the mire

of spilled blood. These were dark times, and it was

a darkness that seemed made for the dawn of the

Barghast gods . . .
