BL: Advent Day 11 – “Heart of Decay”
The Black Library brings us Space Marine Relictors in story and song.
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.
Today’s story is an audio adventure that is ostensibly about a pair of Relictors interrogating a captured prisoner, but secretly it’s all about Chaos. This should come as no surprise, because everything in 40K is secretly always about Chaos. Even the Inquisition. Especially the Inquisition.

Captain Vidarna and Apothecary Achaon are tasked with the interrogation – and torture if necessary – of a captured prisoner, a warrior of the Death Guard. After ten thousand years of war and corruption, what secrets might he yield? The pair attempt to find out, with hideous results.AdvertisementWritten by Ben Counter.

Even this outro is secretly all about Chaos. Just reading it is a double heresy.
