Hand of Darkness
From Lexicanum
|
The Hand of Darkness was an ancient Xenos artifact that was present on the world of Purgatory in the Gothic Sector.1
Overview
It's existence was known only to a select few within the Inquisition though none truly knew the nature or purpose of the artifact. The records of older species such as the Eldar speak of the Hand with utter revulsion. It is believe that it was a weapon of immeasurable power, though the manner it accomplished this was a mystery.1
Inquisitor Horst was dispatched to locate the Hand of Darkness deep beneath Purgatory but the worst fears of the Inquisition came true - the artifact was gone. There were worries that the forces of Chaos had spirited the weapon away and that they would unleash its destructive potential on the galaxy.1
