Hellfire Stone

Chaos Portal

The Hellfire Stone is an artifact of Chaos. Taking the form of an altar, the Crimson Slaughter hunted for the artifact after believing it could end their curse by Khorne which plagues them with the voices of all those they have killed.^[1a] However, Chaos Lord Sevastus Kranon realized after a battle to acquire the alter that such an artifact would only strengthen the internal voices, ushering a deeper insanity into the warband.^{[Needs Citation]}

In the battle between the Dark Angels and the Crimson Slaughter the artifact appeared on the planet Bane's Landing.^[1b] Then the stone periodically disappears from the Materium and reappears once every forty years. It last appeared in 959.M41, on the death world of Pythos.^[2]
