The Empyrion's Blight are a Death Guard warband led by Chaos Lord Gideous Krall.[1a]

History

Known as the The Infector of Worlds, he led his warband from the Eye of Terror to wreak havoc and spread the foul rot of Nurgle throughout the Imperium. They invaded and plunged the Sargassion Reach into conflict, and also spread a disease, a chaos plague, called the Sickening. Planet after planet fell to the contagion, and the Imperium, as well as the Brazen Minotaurs and Raven Guard Space Marine Chapters failed to stop them. The spreading of the Sickening became the Empyrion's Blight's, sole purpose as they made their way though the Sargassion Reach[1b]; to invade the Kandoor System, a sector of Imperial space teeming with heavily-populated colony worlds[1c]. The battle for the Sargassion Reach eventually ended, though it is not known what the final outcome was.[2]

One noticeable physical trait the Empryion's Blight share is their mouths had been replaced by mechanical vents, often corroded by the poisonous fumes emitting from their bodies.[1d]
