A Gift from the Stars

The Comet

Across the world, a blazing star was seen streaking through the heavens.

In the Empire, priests claimed they saw the sacred twin tail of Sigmar burning in the sky. In darker corners of the world, sorcerers whispered of warpstone falling from the firmament. Skaven seers shrieked with religious ecstasy at the arrival of a vast God-Stone. Ogre prophets declared that a second Maw had descended from the heavens.

Then the star vanished beyond the western horizon.

Within weeks, word spread among merchants, captains, and explorers: the comet had fallen somewhere deep within Lustria. Whether holy relic, divine omen, or unimaginable source of warpstone, the object quickly gained a name among those who sought it: the Jewel of Lustria.

The Expedition

Each player commands a small expedition gathered to pursue the Jewel of Lustria. These are not full armies, but warbands of adventurers, mercenaries, hardened soldiers, strange specialists, and ambitious leaders.

Many other expeditions roam the region as well. Smaller treasure-hunting parties, hired scouts, rival scholars, jungle hunters, and opportunists all crowd the same frontier. The deeper one travels into Lustria, the more inevitable conflict becomes.
