Synopsis

A Gotrek Gurnisson Story A tortured Stormcast Eternals Lord-Ordinator finds a chance to achieve his goals – or so he thinks. His attempt to use Gotrek Gurnisson to his advantage may go awry in the most horrible way… READ IT BECAUSE See Gotrek from the perspective of a scheming Stormcast Eternal in a tale that shows just how powerful the Slayer is – not to mention the doom that is upon him. THE STORY Trachos, a Lord-Ordinator of the Celestial Vindicators, journeys back to his brethren, tortured by the horrors he has experienced in the underworlds of Shyish – and by his own failings. A voice in his head berates him… and he's sure it's not his own. A chance encounter with fellow travellers – an aelf agent of the Order of the Azyr, and a strange duardin who calls himself Gotrek – give Trachos new purpose – and a chance to gain what he seeks. As he leads the pair to the sinister Neverspike, he plans to be rid of them. But around such a being as Gotrek Gurnisson, plans have a habit of going wrong…
