Well, this is it… We are cracking open the final volume of the Realmgates War campaign, All-Gates. We will finally see whose machinations will prove superior – Archaon's or Sigmar's.
The Story So Far
The most coveted strategic location among all the Mortal Realms was the Allpoints, a nexus of Realmgates that existed nowhere but was connected to all places. Once, a great city was built around it but when Allpoints fell to Chaos, it was replaced by the Varanspire, Archaon's own fortress. From there, the Everchosen could strike at any Mortal Realm and dominate them all.
Having gained a foothold in the Mortal Realms, the Godking Sigmar enacted the next phase of his plan to defeat Chaos – retake the Allpoints.
To do this, he planned to simultaneously take each of the Realmgates that led to the Allpoints, one in each Mortal Realm, each protected by a mighty fortress. These were the All-Gates and their capture would place the Allpoints under siege, drainng the power of Chaos and leaving it vulnerable.
The first of these would be the Genesis Gate in the Realm of Life.
The Realm of Ghyran was almost in Nurgle's complete possession, but the last victory had eluded him time and again – the capture of Alarielle, Queen of the Radiant Wood. However, the days of Alarielle running were now over, for she had been reborn into her war aspect, and a terrible fury consumed her.
Dispatching the Celestant-Prime as his envoy, Sigmar enlisted Alarielle for her aid in besieging the Genesis Gate. It was known to be deep within Nurgle's territory, on one of the floating islands known as the Landshoals. Sigmar dispatched winged Hunt-teams to find the Genesis Gate and report its location back to Stormcast and Sylvaneth alike.
The islands were enclosed by a fleshy membrane that the Hunt-teams breached, forcing their way through the poisonous atmosphere within and searching the foetid swamps below. Pustrol, one of Nurgle's favoured Great Unclean Ones, had been tasked with polluting the air to form the first line of defence of the Genesis Gate, and now the Hunt-teams were closing in on his position.
