Creatures Anathema

Available Q1 2009

$39.95 MSRP

The Enemies of Man are Legion. Delve

into the Calixis Sector’s most dangerous

denizens with this bestiary of aliens,

beasts, and daemons. Within these

pages lie terrifying monsters to face

your Acolytes. From the vicious Ambull

to the mysterious Simulacra, each

chapter details these threats, includes

adventure seeds to help integrate

each creature into your campaign,

and provides in-character advice from

a noted Inquisitor on how to destroy

them in the Emperor’s name.

Radical Inquisitors like Felroth Gelt are a stain on the honour of the Ordos. They

claim to be escaping hidebound and outdated practices, that using the tools of the Enemy

against him is entirely just and practical. In my judgement, they are fools. The heretic, the

alien, the daemon...these tools may be powerful, but they also corrupt. Radicals are responsible

for much of the lore within Vault 454-Alpha. Each tome contains a story of one trusted with

the Emperor’s Will who has fallen from grace. Each sheaf of parchment, a lesson of letting

the righteousness of one’s cause blind one to the truth.

“Salvation demands sacrifice...”

Yet I find myself drawn to these Radical texts, sifting through lies

for nuggets of wisdom and facts that chill the blood. Herein I find

more useful information for Lord Zerbe’s acolytes; the tech-heresy of

the Maltek Stalker, the Ragged Oracle of Seedworld AFG:218,

the dangers of the Goleph-pattern murder construct. Often, the agents

of a Radical Inquisitor are Radicals

themselves, embracing alien technology

or Chaos rituals—whatever it takes

to get the job done. More than once

my fellow acolytes have had to do battle

with such misguided rabble. Perhaps

the information I glean from these

records will help to strike them down...

or learn the error of their ways.

The Radical’s Handbook

Available Q2 2009

$49.95 MSRP

This vault has always been empty

of other adepts during my visits, and

although I have been here for hours

whilst my auto-quill scratched notes upon the parchment,

I have seen no one else. Yet I feel as if I am being

watched, and once I caught the flicker of a candle-flame in

the corner of my eye, a flicker where no breeze should exist.

Radical Inquisitors turn away from

the path of the Puritan and rely

upon tools that most consider

blasphemous. Heretic allies, alien

technologies, and daemon weapons

of Chaos are but a few of the

instruments wielded by Radicals

who believe that the end always

justiies the means. This sourcebook

contains new rules, dark careers,

and forbidden gear for both Game

Masters and players wishing to tread

the forsaken path of a Radical.

The conclusion is obvious. I am not alone.

Though it is difficult, I dismiss my apprehensions. Whoever else is within the vault could not have

arrived here without authorization, without passing through Sororitas checkpoints and patrols of Inquisitional

Stormtroopers. Therefore, the logical result is that my visitor is a fellow adept or archivist, most likely

working for one of the other Inquisitors at residence within the Tricorn.

Of greater import is a dark thread I sense running through many of the reports filed here within the

last century—rumours of “The Night Traveller” returning to the Calixis Sector from some unknown lair.

According to legend, this Night Traveller is a kin-slayer, whose predicted arrival will herald a catastrophic

doom. I can only speculate as to the Night Traveller’s identity, but if I am correct, it is inextricably

linked with the cursed line of Haarlock. This infamous Rogue Trader dynasty was deeply involved

with the exploration and conquest of the Calixis Sector, and through the centuries the Haarlocks have

continued to appear in the historic record at times of great import. However, the line ended in 733.M41,

leaving behind a legacy of shadow pacts, secrets, mysterious servants, and indecipherable portents.

“The herald is unmasked at the 13th hour...”

The Haarlock’s

Legacy Trilogy

My research on the thread of the Haarlock dynasty led

me to records of the pleasure world of Quaddis. Many of the

portents and signs centered around its capital city of Xicarph,

and the undercity beneath it—known only as the Red Cages.

Another name is whispered amongst rumours and hearsay,

reports of vague and inconsistent legends that share only one

fact: the name of “the Widower.” Who or what this name

refers to is unclear, but I mark it as a potential signifier,

code green-26, and move on.

The Haarlock’s Legacy Trilogy is a series

of epic adventures that will determine

the fate of the Calixis Sector. Terrible

threats stir amongst the worlds visited

by the mysterious Rogue Trader line of

Haarlock. What has been left behind

threatens everything the Inquisition has

worked for in the Calixis Sector. Will your

Acolytes be able to discover the secret of

the Haarlock’s Legacy in time?

Part 1: Tattered Fates (Q1 2009)

Part 2: Damned Cities (Q2 2009)

Part 3: Dead Stars (Q3 2009)

$24.95 MSRP

Dread fills me as I follow the datum.

Page after page reveals more hints and

signs, until the rustle of the tomes is like a

roaring in my ears. My hand shakes as I

reach for yet another scroll. The Ill-fated

line of Haarlock has left behind a darkness

that coils around the worlds of the Calixis

Sector like a serpent. The rotten, gilded

world of Sinophia is one such planet touched

by the legacy of Haarlock. Arbites Judges

and underhive scum clash amidst blood-filled

streets, and a daemon hides in a mirror’s

reflection.

Sadly, my talent for finding lost secrets does not always grant comprehension. What, for

instance, does the quarantined ice world of Mara have to do with star-gazing? How

does a death-shrine on Solomon tie into the affairs of a noble lineage on Quaddis? The

thread I have been hunting so assiduously is lost, my talent exhausted in a web of half-

truths, puzzles, and mysteries.

“Servants can become masters of men, but even masters remain servants of

the God-Emperor.”

The maxims of Lord Zerbe calm me, allowing me to focus once more upon my assigned

task. Hours pass in frustrating search for answers. I sense that I am close, very close

to a final discovery, though my report lies finished in my writing-case. Lord

Zerbe should be pleased. The candles have burned low, and in that guttering

light I glimpse once more that hint of movement.

Before I can move or make a sound, a figure stepped

into view—lithe, masked, clad in a black armoured bodyglove.

“Moritat.” I whisper, for I recognize the pattern of the

lathe-forged sword she holds bared in a slender hand. The

assassin makes no response, gliding slowly towards me.

I raise an arm to ward her away, my mouth dry,

my mind racing. Why was a Mortiat assassin

here, now? “My name is Saldon. I...”
