The Van Tanncred Sword [Warhammer] True Church Heretics

Wellentag 17th Ulriczeit 2522

I am whole and well, though tired from our late night foray. We found ourselves deep beneath a warehouse in the docks for the meeting of the True Church of Sigmar's heretics. Behind a concealed entrance, and down a dank twisting narrow corridor, we entered a dark room with fire-filled braziers hanging from the ceiling and two sat on a raised platform. As my eyes adjusted to the flickering shadows and shapes it formed into a fairly large space with four strong pillars and two rows of pews for the heretical audience to sit upon. There were not too many people in attendance, a crowd of city-folk in the common-dress looking neither fervent nor frightened. They had come to hear what the ‘True Church’ had to say for themselves. An audience of forced participation. 

Hanging above the platform was the symbol of this order that we have found scrawled over doors and windows, down alleys and walls all through the city. The twin crossed hammers surmounted by the twin tailed comet. 

There were ‘brothers’ of the order in each of the corners and centers of the walls, another four on the platform as well, all armed and all with hoods drawn over their faces. The few torches held were doused, deepening the darkness. A door beneath the hammers and comet opened to reveal a man holding a great long handled warhammer, his head was unhooded. He walked forward and began to speak. 

We did listen to what he had to say for a while but it was not long before Grunnd had heard enough. He challenged their reasonings and ways, the thuggish tactics used on Talabheim’s people. He asked for proof that Sigmar had come again. 

The short end of last night’s tale is that none of the audience were killed and some of the priests were arrested when the witchhunters came to intervene. The main speaker managed to slip free into the night but we are sure we will meet him again today in the open daylight of the holy day. This ‘True Church’ of Sigmar are determined to make their stand today on the Day of the Comet. 


Let us see what this brings.
