ardentum calls

A mysterious voice pierces through the Cicatrix Maledictum, drawing those who hear it to the planet of Ardentum. At the same time, an Imperial Inquisitor pulls forces from across the sector to answer a call for aid from the ruling Lords of Ardentum

Which call do you answer, and what impact will your kill team have on the planet of Ardentum?

At NYO this year we are running 2 narrative campaigns. You can join for one day, or both. Each day is a self-contained mini-campaign, but the result of day 1 will influence day 2.

Dramatis personae

  • Lords of Ardentum

    The Lords of Ardentum govern the planet, its people, and its resources. Each lord presides over a familial household, their influence shaping the fabric of Ardentum’s society and fortunes. Over thousands of years of political struggle, the power of houses and individuals has waxed and waned as alliances are forged and broken. But no house can be allowed to fall, for together they keep a terrible secret, and each must do their part to maintain the security of Ardentum.

  • INQUISITOR Gideon Rorkael

    Inquisitor Gideon Rorkael, an enigmatic figure of discernment and intellectual rigor within the Ordo Hereticus has been sent to investigate reports of heretical organizations appearing across Ardentum.

    The request for help from the Lords of Ardentum was light on details - strange, given the gravity of the situation. But Ardentum has kept itself to itself for centuries, so perhaps this is just a reflection of their insular culture.

  • THE VOICE FROM WITHIN

    Across Ardentum and beyond, in the captains quarters of voidships, through the jungles of neighboring deathworlds, a voice is being heard. But is it a voice? Some remember it as a distress call on their vox comms system, to others it appears as a series of visions.

    The message is the same: Ardentum calls.
