Malign Portents - The Collected Fiction

Synopsis

It ‍‍⁠‍⁠​⁠‍‍‍​‍​‍​‍began with unsettling dreams, and unnatural lights in the sky. Many sleepless nights were spent huddled in fear of spectres that haunted the mind, and that deprivation of rest was itself a curse. There was something in the air, they said. Some malediction yet to be, a baneful hour that threatened to turn the feeling of disquiet into a palpable aura of dread. Shadows lengthen across the Mortal Realms. In every nation, from its ramshackle hovels to its soaring keeps, dark omens abound. The elders say there is change on the wind, and not for the better. Sigmar’s great endeavour, to light the fires of civilisation once more, has borne fruit – but in turn brought dangers of its own.
