A Homebrew Wrath & Glory Supplement for the Forces of Chaos

Salvation or Damnation?

The Imperium is a vast place, and anything so massive and bloated has cracks and crevices for
dark things to hide within. Its infrastructure is fractured and failing; its ideologies hypocritical
and oppressive to any who would question them. The accusation of Heresy is laid freely upon
all those who desire something more than a fruitless existence, to work one's entire life and die
for no reward other than being allowed to live long enough to see your betters’ situation
improve.
Most are born into this life and lack the force of will to reject their situation, simply saying “this
is how things are”. However, some can see beyond. Some are chosen. Some gain the
knowledge that beyond what they know is a vast galaxy, and that beyond even that are beings
above mortal comprehension that look upon the Imperium’s nature and feel disgust.
They are there, and if you but desire it, they offer the freedom you desire. Your chains can be
broken. You can become your own master, free not only from the oppression of the Imperium,
but the limitations of your human form. The change may be frightening at first, but you will
come to know it for the blessing it is.
For in the eyes of those freed by Chaos, their gifts are not horrid mutations of the flesh, but
signs of favor, honors granted by the Gods, in hopes that you will finally achieve the perfection
they know you are capable of. Some fall upon the way, crashing to the ground and becoming
pitiful abominations of corrupt flesh, but you know you are worthy of more. You are capable of
greatness, to become one of the champions of the gods, or perhaps more.
Take my hand, and I will reveal to you the truth the Imperium does not want you to know. Not
because they have your best interests in mind, but because they fear that their slaves will break
their own chains and overthrow their masters.
The patience of the Gods may be infinite, but mine is not, and a slave that chooses his own
chains over the freedom I offer is nothing but a coward worthy of death.
Now. Make your choice.
