Wherever humanity congregates in large cities, sewers and drainage systems are likely to be built and, with time, the refuse of mankind is likely to find life-forms that fester within it.

This extraordinary individual is known to history as Lord Solar Macharius. His life, and his tragic death under mysterious circumstances are legendary in the Imperium, though his reputation is tainted by the collapse of his conquered territories following his death during the later Macharian Heresy.

If the valley had a name, Wazzdog didn’t know it, and he definitely didn’t care in any case. Walled in on the east and west by towering shear-sided mountains, the valley was a long, narrow strip of land covered in arid grass plains and buffeted by arctic winds that raced through the narrow pass.
