If you’ve been waiting to get caught-up on your fill of Black Library back-stories and lore then now is the time of year to jump in. Running from December 1st until December 24th, Black Library will have something to read, listen to, or just check out for all things Games Workshop. You can grab them individually or pick up the whole thing as part of the Advent Calendar Subscription.

Malcador the Sigilite is visited by the ghosts of Candlemas Past, Present, and Future when he–oh, hang on, apparently Malcador the Sigilite IS talking about the ghosts of the past, present, and future at the bedside of a dying friend. Perhaps, as Malcador and his personal astropath talk about how the Imperium will unfold, he’ll learn the true meaning of Candlemas? Or at least be prepared to become a good Jacob Marley figure after the Golden Throne eats him.

Malcador the Sigillite sits vigil by the bed of a dying friend and the two discuss the past, present and future – and revelations are made.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
L J Goulding tells an elegiac tale of death, loss and destiny, while raising questions and delivering revelations about Malcador, the Emperor, the primarchs and the Heresy itself – if Malcador can be trusted, that is…

THE STORY
As the Horus Heresy rages and the death toll rises, one more will be added to the numberless dead: Sibel Niasta, personal astropath to the First Lord of the Imperium, Malcador the Sigillite. As her end approaches, Malcador sits vigil by her bedside, and pair discuss their friendship and what it means – how the past and present have shaped Malcador and the Imperium, and what the future holds.

Written by L J Goulding
Running time: 25 minutes. Performed by John Banks, Beth Chalmers, Jenny Funnell, Jonathan Keeble and Toby Longworth.
