Rogue Trader Campaign: The Seed
I love the beginning of a new campaign! Here’s an excerpt from the introduction to the setting I’m creating. Enjoy!
“There are many versions of the story of Solon Fortunatus Wolf and his pursuit of the Sextant Pacificus. My favorite starts with a girl and a prophecy.
The stars are her home
But Heleroia her destination
Mothered by the void
Her Father’s salvation
The price of her dream
Shall be the ruin of Man
The prophesy was spoken by a dying Eldar named Tuireann and written down by a bloody-handed explicator named Czervak. At the same instant, halfway across the galaxy, twenty-seven autosavants each wrote a distinct word of the prophecy twenty-seven times. The incident, now called the Tuireann Charade, was studied for decades. Most concluded that the Eldar was referring to a star-spanning apocalypse and the autosavants a coincidental error, but a few believe he foresaw a human child with a perilous destiny.
Seven hundred twenty-nine years after Tuireann took his last breath, a beautiful human child took her first. Born an orphan on the same Ecclesiarchy ship that interrogated and executed Tuirreann, she was named after the ship that was to become her home.
They called her Lucky Sally.”
