Editing Ossiarch Bonereapers (section)

==== Era of the Beast ====
Katakros is fixated on his campaign in the Eightpoints, but still keeping tabs on what's happened elsewhere, calling out Neferata's power play when she criticized Olynder working with Be'lakor. Katakros himself didn't criticize Olynder's actions because they hurt Sigmar's plan, with Neferata accusing Katakros of still being salty over his first loss to Sigmar. He's also starting a side project to seize control of Ghur, partly out of nostalgia, partly to distract himself from the side effects of the soul wound Archaon gave him.

The fight against Chaos is taking its toll on the Arx Terminus. While it has repelled nearly every assault, this means that it needs repairs regularly. Also meaning the Mortisans don't have time to purify the taint of Chaos from the bones they use. As a result, parts of the Arx Terminus have become corrupted by Chaos, with Bonereapers hearing strange voices and chambers randomly sealing themselves shut. These areas are quarantined from the rest, with regiments of Mortek Guard watching them in case something like a horde of daemons emerges. The one failure was when Archaon led an army that managed to break through the Arx Terminus and enter the Endgate, dealing significant damage to Gothizzar before being repelled. Whether this was a statement from Archaon or the Bonereapers managed to push him back is unknown.

Apart from that, we get the thoughts of Mannfred and Neferata on Arkhan's disappearance. Mannfred gloats about it, but is certain Arkhan will return (and plans to rub the defeat in his face when he does). Neferata doesn't comment much, except to subtly say that she "almost" missed him compared to a killjoy like Katakros (tsundere much?).

Meanwhile, Nagash has been slowly regaining his power and awareness and already begun working on his vengeance. He's got some sort of link to Teclis, even interrupting Teclis' meditation to promise reprisals.
