Title: The Carrier: A Plague-Spreading Harbinger of Nurgle’s Will
In the grim darkness of the far future, where the immensity of the galaxy is only matched by the depth of its horrors, there lurks an entity known as ‘The Carrier’. This shaggy, unwashed denizen of the void is no ordinary creature. He is a disciple of Nurgle, the Chaos God of plague and decay, and he takes a perverse pleasure in spreading the contagion of his master throughout the cosmos.
The Carrier doesn’t force his way onto starships lost in the warp. Instead, he appears, almost as if by magic, offering desperate souls a lifeline. He extends an outstretched hand stained with grime and disease, promising a safe exit from the ethereal labyrinth of the warp.
His disheveled appearance is misleading, often leading to the misconception that he’s a harmless void dweller. His lazy smile, lopsided and filled with the promise of salvation, offers a glimmer of hope amidst the unforgiving expanse of the warp. And, strangely enough, the desperate humans he encounters often accept his deceptive offer of help.
It’s a chilling testament to the atmosphere of sheer desperation that pervades the galaxy that even the vessels of the Imperial Navy have fallen victim to this insidious agent of chaos. The Carrier stays true to his word, indeed leading each starship out of the warp, but his assistance comes with a devastating price.
Once the starship re-enters the real world, the Carrier vanishes, just as mysteriously as he appeared. But he leaves behind a parting gift – the sinister will of Nurgle, a plague that seeps into the ship and its unfortunate sailors. The once desperate, now doomed, crew unwittingly become the new spreaders of Nurgle’s “gifts.”
Every plagued soul, every infected starship, becomes a vessel for the Lord of Flies’ contagion, spreading the rot and decay of Nurgle throughout the stars. It’s a grim reminder of the true horrors that lurk in the warp, and the lengths to which the desperate will go to escape the clutches of the Imperium.
Stay tuned to this multi-part series as we delve deeper into the chaos and the entities that thrive within it. The grim darkness of the far future is filled with stories that chill the very marrow in our bones, and we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface.
