Warhammer (Longplay/Lore) - 00208: Living On A Prayer (Mordheim: City of the Damned)

"You do not need the High Matriarch of our order to tell you that this city is contaminated with a corruption that is a blight of soul as much as it is of the flesh. Mutation is but the outward sign of the rot gnawing away within the heart and the soul. It is for this that no less than Grand Theogonist Johann Helsturm established the commandment that the mutant shall not be suffered to live.

More vile than those who are corrupted are those that embrace their defilement with open arms and sing praises to the Ruinous Powers. Blighted Mordheim has become the lair of many such revolting cultists. One of the most noxious of these daemon-worshippers is the Brotherhood of Shadows. They number among their abominable congregation many petty sorcerers, perverse magicians who seek to draw still more corruption down upon the city in order to expand their own diabolic powers.

Our augurs have divined that a magister named Kleinz is leading a warband of the Brotherhood in an effort to defile and de-consecrate the old Temple of Sigmar. A sorcerous fulcrum would be conjured into being, a permanent doorway through which the corruption of Chaos will spill across the land. I do not have to tell you that this must be prevented at all costs.

We will deploy at the front of the temple. I fear the taint of foul magic's will be obvious. Do not let fear distract you. We must act swiftly and with purpose. We must use the Relic to re-consecrate the Fountains and cleanse the holy bell. The simple hammers adorning the statues of the arch-lectors must be replaced with the sanctified bronze hammers drawn from the vaults beneath the Rock, thereby strengthening the purity of the temple. Finally, Kleinz must be destroyed as a warning to any other cults who think they can profane the house of our god."
