Then things really started to go tits up. Reports of disappearances and horrible monsters in the upper spires started to spread, with everyone trying to investigate vanishing without a trace. The Great Rift seemed to darken in the sky and readings of the Emperor's Tarot all produced the same ominous result.

By the time the [[Ordo Malleus]] had deciphered the mumbling of comatose Imperial Psykers as a warning about a "Dark King", the monsters had been identified as a scouting force of [[Black Legion]] [[Chaos Raptor|Raptors]], [[Heldrake]]s, and [[Warp Talons]].

Soon afterward, every vox network on the planet received a message from '''[[Haarken Worldclaimer]]''', the Chaos Raptor Lord leading the Black Legion forces and Herald of the Apocalypse: Vigilus now belonged to '''[[Abaddon]]''' and the Despoiler would soon arrive to oversee its conquest personally. As the Vigilus Senate convened to discuss the alarming turn of events, they were [[Awesome|attacked by a]] [[Heldrake]] [[Awesome|that smashed through the Senate spire's ceiling.]] The Victrix Guard were able to prevent it from harming Calgar, but now they had to deal with the impending arrival of the Warmaster himself.

Meanwhile, [[Thousand Sons]] [[Rubric Marines]] were burning their way through Oteck Hivesprawl, a new Gellerpox outbreak in Mortwald led the nobles to hoard food and water for themselves and inadvertently inspire even ''more'' Chaos and Genestealer Cult uprisings, and the defenses of the planet were being stretched thinner and thinner. And the bulk of the Black Legion's forces hadn't even shown up yet. Haarken had boasted that Vigilus would fall within 80 days of his arrival. Sure enough, after 80 days a massive number of Warp signatures was detected in the Nachmund Gauntlet.

The War of Nightmares had begun.
