Warhammer 40K: Daemon World Novel

Betrayal and Chaos: The Fall of Torvendis

In the depths of the Maelstrom, a maelstrom of chaos and destruction unfolds on the daemon world of Torvendis. Ancient rivalries threaten to shatter the delicate balance of power, as the Lady Charybdia, daemon princess of Slaanesh, struggles to maintain her grip on the planet.

The Warrior’s Quest

Golgoth, a barbarian warrior, sets out to restore the Emerald Sword tribe to its former glory. He faces numerous challenges, including the degenerate ruler Grik, who has been weakening the tribe by sending warriors and newborns to Lady Charybdia as slaves and cattle. Golgoth’s journey takes a dramatic turn when he meets an old hermit named Kron, who offers to teach him the ways of sorcery and tap into his inner hate.

The Traitor’s Gambit

Meanwhile, Karnulon, a traitor from the Word Bearers legion, passes himself off as Kron and manipulates Golgoth into doing his bidding. As Golgoth declares war against Lady Charybdia, Karnulon secretly works to unleash a fearsome Daemon Prince of Khorne, Ss’ll Sh’Karr, who will stop at nothing to destroy the planet.

Alliances and Betrayals

As the war rages on, Golgoth forms an alliance with the daemons, but it is short-lived. Ss’ll Sh’Karr breaks the truce and begins slaughtering Golgoth’s barbarians. Golgoth escapes and discovers the true nature of his quest when he meets the ghostly figures in the Hall of Elders.

The Awakening of Torvendis

The entire world shakes and breaks apart as Torvendis, a sentient Eldar Maiden World, awakens from its slumber. Corrupted into a Daemon World by Arguleon Veq, Torvendis seeks revenge against the Chaos gods. The planet devours Charybdia city, killing all the daemons and dragging Sh’Karr into the ground.

Revenge and Destruction

In the end, Arguleon Veq and Torvendis achieve their goal of harming the Chaos gods. The loss of the planet sends shock waves across the Maelstrom, screeching into every living mind. The gods turn to see their prize disappearing, and Arguleon Veq finally finds peace in death. The fate of Golgoth remains a mystery, lost in the depths of the planet as it tears itself apart.
