Plagueheart
The Plagueheart is an Old Ones[2a] artifact. Belonging to the same trinity as the Tuchulcha and Ouroboros, the Plagueheart is a vast living planetoid.[1]
In the 41st Millennium, Cypher revealed that Typhus and Astelan were attempting to unite the 3 devices and change history.[1a] Eventually all 3 devices were gathered and a warp rift was summoned over the ruins of Caliban. Convinced by Ezekiel to leave history be and trying to prevent nearby Fallen forces from accessing the rift first, Azrael destroyed the rift.[1b]
Vashtorr the Arkifane sought the Plagueheart along with its sister devices in order to create The Key in order to ultimately access an Old Ones device dubbed The Weapon. In the Arks of Omen Campaign, Vashtorr succeeded in gathering Plagueheart and Ouroboros but still needed the Tuchulcha. In the Battle of Idolatros, Vashtorr succeeded in contacting the Tuchulcha and moving it to Wyrmwood. Together with its sister devices, the Plagueheart created the Dissonance Engine which bore a tunnel into the space between the Materium and Warp not unlike the Webway. With this new rift, Vashtorr seeks The Lock and with it The Weapon.[2b]
