What is Mortal Legends: Mirrorfall?
/
Last year I made the decision to start work on an ambitious new project - something that would really grab Warhammer Age of Sigmar fans’ attention. Not a hobby project exactly, but something that might well inspire hobby projects in others if I get it right. Something so undeniably awesome and perfectly formed, that it could have been crafted by Games Workshop itself. At least, that’s the challenge I’ve set for myself.
I’m calling it Mortal Legends: Mirrorfall and, while the finished product is still many months away, I wanted to tease you with the first fruits of this great labour. Below you’ll find something - a beginning perhaps? What could it entail? What exactly is this project I’m working on? Share your thoughts and speculation in the comments!
It is said that every righteous deed has it's dark reflection.
As surely as the Realm of Life sees its twisted mirror in Shyish, so the noble actions of Order's champions are undone by the forces of Death. The tentative footholds of Sigmar's civilisation, won at great cost during the Realmgate Wars, are challenged and subverted on all fronts as Nagash's minions reassert their master's will. Now, in the era of the Arcanum Optimar, hope has long since given way to its own dark reflection - fear.
Yet reflections can be distorted, and the reality of the Mortal Realms may be perceived through many disparate lenses. Fear, hate, madness - each offers a different lens, an alternative account of reality. One person's balm may be another's poison, and events that seem miraculous in the eyes of some may be an unmitigated tragedy for others. All, be they god or mortal, are unshakeable in their faith that their vision of the realms is the indisputable truth.
Nowhere is this more true than in the cursed township of Mirrorfall, where two irreconcilable visions of reality are fated to collide in a storm of blasphemy and blood. In the aftermath of the great Necroquake its people's souls have become untethered from their bonds of flesh, whilst crazed horrors circle in the shadows, eager to sate both their savage hunger and their twisted faith.
Now two emissaries - one of Sigmar, one of Nagash - arrive unbidden, setting off a chain of events that will see cracks spread across the mirror, and delusions shattered.
In Mirrorfall, it is said that faith can render a person blind, and for every dark deed there is a righteous intention.
