The Malefic Tome

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Malefic Tome is a blasphemous artefact possessed by the Word Bearers which has been stitched together from the flayed skins of a dozen mortal Psykers.[1]

Each Psyker signed their own death warrant when they began dabbling in the Warp, for though they took every precaution in their dealings with Daemons, they made their locations known to other Chaos worshipers who skinned them. Each leathery page in The Malefic Tome still bears the hairs and birthmarks of the book's unwilling donors, their horror at the mistake they made still emanating from every inch of stolen skin. The Malefic Tome's leaves are inscribed with True Names, hexagrammatic diagrams and daemonic hierarchies that will give those who have the ability to use The Malefic Tome a measure of influence over their Warp-spawned allies.[1]
