As we continue our tour of the Mortal Realms, we descend to the Realm of Fire where the forces of Khorne are holding an important bridge against repeated attacks from the Stormcasts, using one of the ‘historic' Battleplans from the General's Handbook. This time, however, Sigmar is not mucking around – he wants that bridge…
The Story So Far
The Emberport Realmgate in Aqshy could only be reached by crossing the Black Chasm Bridge, held by Daemons of Khorne who used the Realmgate to dominate the surrounding rich area of the Sunderflats.
After the capture of the Brimstone Peninsula and the Godbeasts War, Sigmar directed his Stormcasts to take the bridge and the Realmgate that lay at its end.
Eleven times Sigmar sent chamber after chamber to capture the bridge, and eleven times they failed, for the bridge was guarded by the Helfire Legion, its gatekeeper Khaaraks, a Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury.
When Sigmar's lightning struck the bridge for a twelfth time, no warrior chamber emerged, but the Celestant-Prime and a single retinue of Prosecutors. This seemed a derisory force to send against the Helfire Legion and Khaaraks fumed against the perceived insult. As the Celestant-Prime dived downwards, the Bloodthirster was determined to avenge his martial pride upon this affront.
