THE FOUNDING OF THE BLOOD SHADOWS ADEPTUS ASTARTES


It is 2.756.997.M41....On the Labyrinth world of Carpathia in the wake of Hive Fleet Leviathan and as the morbid revelations of the STARK report have began to be truly understood..... Lord Inquisitor Van Hadessong is dispatched with a team of Bioacolytes from Mars to a lost world....there is a chance meeting, driven by powers beyond fate....a reunion..... as contact is made with the lost remnants of a subterranean agricultural colony....colonists persevering on faith, to this day adhering to ancient rituals, honouring the Guardian of the Abyss, surviving in the darkness they say through his divine provenance, sustained by his guiding light....and  the blood legacy of his most honoured son....

....after years of penance and rigorous examination, kin are welcomed back into the Emperors fold, the colonists are once again given purpose, opportunity and a mission of the gravest importance....
