"He could have bothered to actually look. There is amazing wealth on this planet and if he’d taken the time to do his job correctly, this system would bear his name instead of mine.”
–Rogue Trader Alvis Limoges remarking on his predecessor
Last month, we announced Hand of Corruption, a full adventure in three acts for Black Crusade. Presented in one comprehensive volume, Hand of Corruption is an epic story that takes you and your fellow Heretics from the swirling depths of the Screaming Vortex to the far reaches of the Calixis Sector, and then to a parched and windswept Imperial penal world called Saint Annard’s Penance. There, you’ll attempt to perform an unholy ritual to drag the planet into the Screaming Vortex, an offering to the Ruinous Powers!
A harsh and unforgiving world
Today, we’re pleased to offer a glimpse of Saint Annard’s Penance in the form of three pages from Hand of Corruption (pdf, 1.6 MB). Download them today to familiarize yourself with the task at hand.
As desolate and God-Emperor forsaken a planet as can be found in the rimward regions of the Calixis Sector, Saint Annard’s Penance is both an important penal world and industrial hub. The fourth world of the Limoges system, and the only of its six planets remotely inhabitable, Saint Annard’s Penance is small, arid, incredibly hot, and shows no sign of pre-Imperial habitation. But even despite its many shortcomings, it is an important Imperial asset. Stolen away for the benefit of Chaos, Saint Annard’s Penance could become a vital base in your Black Crusade... if you can unravel its hidden mysteries.
Keep checking back for more on Hand of Corruption in the coming weeks, and look for it on store shelves in the first quarter of 2012.
