The Blasphemous Arcaean Empire has murdered the Seer Thain Himoura for imagined crimes at the tyrannical whims of the despot and Arch-Heretic Velax de Vere. Hundreds of thousands mourn the passing of the Seer, and demand justice for this act of sacrilege, though many note the correlation between the one eyed Seer's passing and Odin's hanging from the world tree. Many are interpreting the signs, and they do not look favorable for the Empire and its Sartanist Witches.
